10 John Cena Matches You Should Watch Again

10. Vs Neville - WWE Raw 2015

Working as blueprints of sorts for what would become Cena's archetypal US Title Open Challenge match, this star-making clash early in the run did much to promote Raw's hot new NXT graduate.

Giving Neville a base for his spellbinding flips and flights, the match was an exquisite advert for the newcomer and an incredibly unselfish display from a Cena that had willingly withdrawn himself from the main event chase to remind people what a first-rate wrestler he was (excluding that bloody awful springboard stunner, which for the most part, thankfully seems shelved).

Bursting with legitimately tense nearfalls, Cena allowed himself to look completely overmatched at times, unable to put 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' away and looking under serious threat from some of Neville's wide array of moves and strikes.

'The Jumping Geordie' didn't have to suffer for his art too, actually hitting his Red Arrow finisher on Cena in what looked to be the finish, before Rusev would run-in and attack both men.

As a match, it was clinically excellent, and as a showcase for a new talent, Cena couldn't have given more to the cause.
