10 Wrestlers Who Suffered The Most From WrestleMania 34

3. John Cena

The 16-time World Champion got exactly what he deserved at WrestleMania 34. Having spent the past month calling The Undertaker out, questioning his character, and talking a whole lot of s***, Cena had his arse handed to him, with 'The Deadman' running through his greatest hits en route to putting him away in just under three minutes.

It was a fun, effective squash match, and a great way to present 'Taker after last year's disaster with Roman Reigns. He has likely bought himself enough goodwill for another big 'Mania bout, but Cena? His credibility took a lot of damage.

John isn't 'The Guy' anymore. He doesn't need protection, and he's more than strong enough to absorb the loss, but he hasn't been flattened like this in a long time. It was jarring to see a performer who was presented as WWE's version of Superman for so long lose in such decisive fashion, and it'll be interesting to see where he goes from here.

Fair play to John for such a selfless showing, and for putting 'Taker over so strongly, but his stock hasn't been this low since he was a rookie.
