10 TIMES John Cena Buried The Miz
5. Chamber Of Horrors
John Cena was still clinging onto his reputation as a super-worker when he walked into 2017 Elimination Chamber off the back of dethroning AJ Styles for his record-setting 16th WWE Title. His abuse of The Miz foreshadowed how the rest of his year would go when he walked out.
Miz had opportunistically scored a fall over Dean Ambrose after Baron Corbin's post-elimination tantrum left 'The Lunatic Fringe' vulnerable, but Cena quickly put the 'A Lister' back in his box (if not his pod).
