10 Wrestlers Who Don't Fit WWE's New Era
1. John Cena
If we're talking figureheads and poster boys, then one name stands tall above all others; John Cena. The public face of the entire organisation, John Cena has been the man in World Wrestling Entertainment for 12 long years, but he has been an integral part of its definition for much longer.
Cena made his debut in 2002 and instantly help to coin an entire era, telling Kurt Angle that he will be bringing 'ruthless aggression' to the table. Less than three years later, he was WWE Champion.
In the past few years, Cena has begun to take on a role as the ultimate gatekeeper, the big bad at the end of a video game if you will. Many young rising heels have had to deal with him, as well as Cena's constant claims that they will need to go through him to establish themselves.
Well, a New Era is supposedly upon us, and WWE's commitment to this will be seen clearest when it comes to how Cena is used on return. Those imagining he will start to take a backseat are quite obviously out of their minds, but if the focus begins to shift elsewhere then we can have hope that Kevin Owens, Rusev, Bray Wyatt and others weren't terminally hurt by failing to eradicate John Cena.
John Cena is the Nicholas II of World Wrestling Entertainment. In order for the revolution to be complete, he needs to be overthrown.
