10 Dumbest Ways WWE Wrestlers Lost Matches

Before he lost fairly regularly, and what an insane sentence that is to write, John Cena won. John Cena WONLOL.

Very little shook him. He could kick out of multiple finishers delivered by multiple time World Champions. Technicians; giants; fellow massively over-pushed developmental graduates: nobody could see SuperCena when SuperCena was at his peak. He shook off brain damage in under two minutes at SummerSlam 2010. He was a medical marvel as well as a DC superhero. WWE went to only slightly less absurd lengths to protect the Cena character throughout the years.

From the infuriating to the laughable, at Extreme Rules 2014, Cena handily fought off the combined might of three legit behemoths, one of whom possessed supernatural powers, in a Steel Cage match. Just as he had it won, a possessed child greeted him at the cage door, dressed like the Higher Power, microphone in hand. Into that modulated microphone he sang 'He's Got The Whole World In His Hands'. Cena, perhaps spooked by the ticking of Nikki's biological clock more than anything else, walked into Wyatt's Sister Abigail.

Nervous young children, Kevin Federline, and one superstar per year on average could see Cena. The rest he treated like jokes in the world's lamest stand-up club.
