Winning his 17th world championship solidified John Cena’s argument that he’s the greatest of all time, but he also elevated his status as a true WrestleMania legend on Sunday night.

Cena won a world championship at WrestleMania for the fifth time, padding his record (three wrestlers have three title victories at 'Mania). He also extended his record for winning the most world championship matches with seven (the five title changes and two defenses). Hulk Hogan has five world title match victories at WrestleMania. And Cena tied the record for competing in world championship matches at WrestleMania, joining Triple H with nine.

Basically, if there’s a world title to be defended or contested at WrestleMania and Cena was healthy, there was a pretty good chance he was in that match.
