10 Wrestlers You Were Totally Wrong About
4. John Cena
Throughout much of his time sitting at the top of the WWE mountain, it wasn't exactly uncommon to hear the deafening sound of thousands of fans reminding John Cena that he most definitely could not wrestle.
And while it's fair to say that the vast majority of standard Cena encounters weren't exactly over-flowing Code Reds and Springboard Stunners, to class The Face that Runs the Place as a performer who couldn't work in-between the ropes was about as far from the truth as you could get.
His battles with CM Punk at Money in the Bank 2011 and Monday Night Raw epic with Shawn Michaels in 2007 both sat as two of the most notable examples of Cena proving he could go. But feeling the need to prove those very much audible doubters wrong, the second Big Match John reclaimed the United States Championship at WrestleMania 31, Cena decided to take things up a notch.
And it was that weekly US title Open Challenge that soon set the stage for some of the greatest Raw encounters of the 2010s, with Cena rising to the challenge of battling against the likes of Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Neville, Dean Ambrose and many more.
Simultaneously, a defiant Cena managed to both make the US title belt one of the most prestigious in the company and waved his hand at those infamous "You Can't Wrestle" chants.
