Not many people will be surprised that John Cena is the strongest wrestler - from a ratings perspective - in WWE 2K16. After all, Cena is the poster boy for World Wrestling Entertainment, so it was probably a mandate from the top of the company to ensure that this was reflected in one of the promotion's official video games. Overall, Cena has a rating of 95. Naturally, this makes him the easiest wrestler to play as in the game. Cena is deceptively quick, but he's also one of the most powerful. His main finishing move, the Attitude Adjustment is pretty much a guaranteed pin fall win if used at the right times, and can even swing momentum of a match even if performed early. Several others, such as Daniel Bryan, have the 'Comeback' ability on this list. However, none create as much momentum as Cena's. He is able to take a beating yet still make it relatively simple for players to fight back and win the match. This makes him the strongest character in the game, even if it does feel a little over-powered at times. Even so, try winning a Royal Rumble as the #1 entrant, it's not easy even with Cena!
