Ladies and Gentlemen, on this date nine years ago, John Cena faced off against Brock Lesnar for his WWE championship belt. The Pay-Per-View was Backlash 2003 and as the pair are about to clash in Sunday's big main event at WWE Extreme Rules, the irony is rather freaky. On that day a villainous John Cena walked into the match facing against ''The Next Big Thing''. This was after Cena won a tournament following WrestleMania XIX to be crowned the number one contender. John Cena defeated legends Eddie Guerrero, The Undertaker and Chris Benoit to earn him the title spot at Backlash for Lesnar's WWE title. It's funny comparing things then to now. The scenarios really aren't all that different, they're interesting to say the least. These two men face each other this Sunday at WWE Extreme rules, but this time will John Cena be the one walking out the one victorious?
