20 WWE Champions Who Never Got Their Rematch

11. John Cena

Title Lost: WWE Championship Lost Title To: Daniel Bryan It€™s doubtful anyone is crying a river for 7,000-time world champ John Cena getting a rematch after losing the WWE Championship to Daniel Bryan last year at SummerSlam in a hard-fought classic of a match. Bryan attained a lifelong dream, main-eventing a major PPV and winning the gold, only for Randy Orton to cash in his MITB briefcase and turn Bryan€™s celebration into a five-minute title reign. In reality, Cena was not getting a title rematch anytime soon, as he was heading for an operating table to have surgery on his elbow. He€™d return two months later to beat Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship, so don€™t pity the poor guy. It worked out pretty well for Bryan too, at least for a little while.
