Ranking Every WWE Title Change On Raw

18. John Cena Def. Rey Mysterio (25 July 2011)

Dead last on the list is John Cena's victory over Rey Mysterio in July 2011, primarily on the basis that it was nothing short of heartbreaking to see the Ultimate Underdog's first-ever WWE Title run cut short after about an hour.

Of course, it made perfect sense to put the belt on Vince McMahon's real and true franchise player while the pretender CM Punk was gallivanting around the country with the title he won at Money in the Bank. But making Rey the fall guy seemed strange in all sorts of ways.

Cena didn't even have any business challenging a fellow good guy for the belt so quickly after he had made real his wrestling dreams; it was a character decision that would only really have worked in the context of a fully-fledged heel turn.

It was also damaging for the man whose shoulders he kept down for a three count. Rey was slowly but surely returning to the sort of popularity levels that helped him win the Royal Rumble in 2006, but defeat here confirmed to fans that he wasn't going to reach those heights again.
