10 Most Memorable WWE Underdog Victories

2. Kevin Federline Defeats John Cena - Raw 2007

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5omzv_john-cena-vs-kevin-federline_sport This is originally where David Arquette winning the WCW Title was included on the list, but that has really been beaten into the ground through the years. It opens doors up for other arguments and discussions altogether, so, in its place, another instance where a celebrity showed up in the world of wrestling and had no business defeating a top tier performer, but did so, anyway. For those unaware of Kevin Federline's "rise to glory", he started off as a backup dancer for Britney Spears on her tours, and then became her husband, giving her two children in the process, and trying to use his new found "fame" to jump start his rap career. He was the ultimate success story for lazy men trying to find some super rich woman to impregnate so he would be able to sit at home and get rich. After their divorce, Federline is still making money, earning over $250,000 a year in child support from Spears. Fresh from news of their divorce (the match happened less than two months after the story broke, before the divorce was finalized), the man known as K-Fed would face John Cena on the New Year's Day 2007 episode of Raw, after being a thorn in Cena's side during previous appearances on the show. It wasn't much of a match at all. It featured several minutes of stall tactics from K-Fed and his "corner man", Johnny Nitro (aka John Morrison), and K-Fed thinking he was strong, while Cena took the entire thing as a joke. Using the No Disqualifications stipulation, Umaga would interfere and lay Cena out, allowing Federline to get the pin, and furthering the theme in this article. It was a very odd booking choice, having the current WWE Champion lose to an "outsider" like that, but it still counts, and Kevin Federline gets to add his name to the not-that-lengthy of a list of people who can claim a pinfall victory over Cena since Cena became a main event guy.
