10 Best WWE Championship Reigns Of The 2010s

10. John Cena (March-June 2010)

John Cena's sixth WWE Championship reign began and ended on the same night.

Batista made a surprise appearance at the end of Elimination Chamber 2010 and beat his rival for the gold after he'd just won it. Don't ask why this happened, because it doesn't make a great deal of sense. 

This led to the beginning of Cena's seventh go-around, which began when he beat The Animal at WrestleMania XXVI. Big Dave made up the majority of Cena's rivalries during this reign, as he faced him on the next two pay-per-views. 

That might sound lazy... and it is... but the matches were pretty good.

A Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules and an I Quit match at Over the Limit were both really strong, which made up for the lacklustre way in which Cena lost the title. He dropped it to Sheamus at the ill-fated Fatal 4-Way show after interference from The Nexus, which is a cursed sentence all around. 

84 days is far from a gigantic title reign, but Cena having two good pay-per-view bouts back-to-back was a minor miracle at this point.
