10 WWE Superstars John Cena Has Put Over
4. Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan has been one of the most beloved competitors in WWE ever since he debuted in 2010. Perennially over, Bryan navigated through the shark infested waters of WWE to become one of the biggest stars that the company had ever seen. Bryan's quest up the card saw him win the US Title, Money in the Bank and the World Heavyweight Championship, but none of it mattered when he came face-to-face against WWE Champion John Cena in 2013.
Cena chose Bryan out of the entire WWE roster for a match at SummerSlam 2013, which instantly put him over. The build saw Daniel Bryan trying to break the glass ceiling, and for that he had to take on the biggest star in WWE history.
SummerSlam became extremely memorable as Daniel Bryan defeated John Cena clean to become the WWE Champion. Most fans saw this as the culmination of years of hard-work, but little did they know that it was just another speed-bump. Cena put Bryan over later in the Championship Ascension ceremony before the unification of the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship, giving Bryan as an example of a true champion. This is one of the most effective and intelligent rubs that John Cena ever doled out.
