5 Worst WWE Night Of Champions Win-Loss Records
The least desirable records at WWE Night of Champions.
We've already taken a look at those who have had the most success at WWE Night of Champions, and the results were arguably not as surprising as what may have been previously thought. Daniel Bryan has a 100% record at the event, winning gold on three occasions, and a whole host of superstars have won 66% of their matches at the event. Considering WWE's obsession with 'keeping people strong' and wins and losses being traded back and forth, this isn't too surprising. I'd wager that if a top superstars historical win PPV win percentage was worked out, it would be somewhere between 50 and 66%, unless you are Wade Barrett of course.
In professional wrestling, streaks are everything. Nikki Bella might like to talk about how wins and losses don't matter, but we as fans love to delve back into the history books and look at the two columns, looking for patterns. With wins come losses of course, so here are the five men with the worst records at WWE Night of Champions.
Once more, a minimum of three matches was required to qualify for the list. A lot of superstars have taken part in two matches and been unsuccessful on both occasions, but it isn't a big enough sample size to be truly relevant. Batista has lost twice, as have The Usos. Unsurprisingly, Wade Barrett has a 0% success rate at Night of Champions.
Without further ado, let's take a look.
5. John Cena - 7 Matches, 3 Losses, 1 Draw
One of the comments on the winners post lamented the lack of John Cena, and here is your reason. Surprisingly, Cena has a less than 50% winning record at Night of Champions. It all started off well for the man, defending his WWE Championship in 2007 as part of a Five-Pack Challenge against Bobby Lashley, Mick Foley, King Booker and Randy Orton, but then Cena would go on a three-year losing streak, picking up L's against Triple H, Randy Orton (he was pinned in a triple threat also involving Triple H) and finally being pinned by Wade Barrett (!) in a Six-Pack Challenge for Sheamus' WWE Championship.
Cena has gotten things back on track in his last three appearances however, picking up wins against Brock Lesnar in 2014 (by disqualification) and Aberto Del Rio (2011). Sandwiched in between these two was a controversial match against CM Punk in 2012, which ended in a draw after both mens shoulders were pinned to the mat. The match was for Punk's WWE Championship. By the time Cena is done however, I wouldn't bet on him featuring in a list that involves a less than 50% success rate.
