Every version of John Cena has been the best version on SmackDown.
Gritty wrestler Cena made his debut on the brand in 2002 with a blinding display against Kurt Angle, whilst his rapper (and diluted subsidiary) persona was formed entirely on the post-Brand Split B-show. Even the John Cena of today - a bantering buffoon with a penchant for p*ssing about - does the job more efficiently on Tuesday.
He obliterated Baron Corbin's past, present and near-future in 2017, only to remind everybody what earned him so much in-built respect in the first place with a tantalising last run at AJ Styles' WWE Championship in early 2018.
