10 Important Steps In John Cena's WWE Evolution

From 'Ruthless Aggression' to 'Word Life' and 'Elder Statesman', Cena has done it all...

John Cena is the biggest name in World Wrestling Entertainment today. The days may be long gone when many of the top stars in wrestling were household names, but Cena certainly belongs in that category. Even though WWE don't do the same monster business they did when the likes of Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin were on top, Cena is still known to many outside the wrestling bubble. Over the years, it's become prevalent that predominantly adult fans are not supporters of the John Cena bandwagon. There are literally thousands who feel Cena's in-ring work is shoddy, and he doesn't deserve the acclaim he receives by his employer. On the flip side of that argument, the man's fans point towards his star power and willingness to perform hundreds of 'Make A Wish' visits to dying children each year. To date, John Cena has won the WWE Title 12 times, and the World Heavyweight Championship on 3 different occasions. In addition, he's also a 5-time WWE United States Champion, 4-time World Tag-Team Champ, and has won the Royal Rumble twice. There can be no doubting that Cena works hard and is tirelessly devoted to the WWE brand. These 10 steps show his progression from wide-eyed rookie to the franchise of pro wrestling's biggest company.
