20 Incredible John Cena Matches To Binge-Watch Before He Retires

3. John Cena vs Eddie Guerrero - Smackdown, 9th September 2003

It's hard to believe that John Cena would rhyme "green card you stole" with "border patrol", but that is the first shot he fired in his short and sweet 2003 feud with Eddie Guerrero. Having the gumption to do this in El Paso was wild, but Cena wasn't done there. Happening while Eddie was the United States Champion on SmackDown, John followed this up by taking the tires off of Guerrero's ride and making him bleed later that evening.

After having his car stolen, Eddie was then able to pick the stipulation to face the heel Cena the following week. Choosing a Latino Street Fight, the stage was set for one of the most definitive battles of John Cena's early career.

Fighting on top of cars, with Cena rocking Timberland boots, this is a ridiculous moment in time. John would start the engine of a lawnmower and attack Eddie with a spade, before Guerrero would win the short match by hitting his trademark Frog Splash from the roof of a car onto Cena, who was lying passed out on the bonnet of another car nearby. The whole feud lasted all of three weeks, but this is a red-hot antidote if John Cena's 2025 heel run left you ice cold.
