10 Wrestlers You Should Be Most Thankful For This Year

3. John Cena

2015 marks a full decade since John Cena won his first WWE Championship. Since that time, he's been the number one man in the company, and despite Vince McMahon's attempts to replace him with somebody younger and fresher, Cena is still WWE's most famous full-time star. McMahon may be desperate to replace Cena, but the fifteen-time world champion looks as good as ever - in fact, some could argue that 2015 was the best year of his entire career. After winning the United States Championship at WrestleMania XXXI, Cena started a weekly open challenge where any member of the roster was free to contest for his title on Raw. That led to Cena having amazing TV matches with Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, and more. Additionally, Cena had a string of outstanding PPV bouts in feuds with Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins. Ten years after becoming a headliner, John Cena is more valuable to WWE than ever before.
