10 WWE Superstars John Cena Has Put Over

10. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler had been part of the WWE for seven years when he started feuding with John Cena in 2012. The heel tandem of Vickie Guerrero and Dolph were going up against the biggest superstar in recent memory. The two hadn't had a lot of success and people had written off Ziggler as just another WWE missed opportunity. That changed when he went up against John Cena in 2012.

Ziggler and Cena feuded through the end of 2012 to the start of 2013, which saw a bizarre relationship angle added to it with AJ Lee and Vickie Guererro involved. That didn't take away from the fact that Dolph beat Cena at TLC 2012 to defend his Money in the Bank briefcase. Ziggler had held his own against the biggest star in WWE and that image went a long way for him, as he went on to became World Heavyweight Champion eventually.

Cena helped Ziggler later in his babyface resurgence in 2014, as Dolph was the sole survivor of Team Cena in one of the best traditional five-on-five Survivor Series matches of the modern era. This saw Cena put over Ziggler in multiple promos, making The Showoff a pivotal part of WWE programming.
