And there he is. With an award winning ex-anchorman on his shoulders, Ric Flair staring agape in the background...John Cena, ladies and gentleman. After 13 years in WWE, he's finally the WWE superstar he's been pushed to be all along. Cena *ACTUALLY* turning the corner on amazing couldn't come at a better time for their product, either. From Seth Rollins to Kevin Owens to Neville, Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, Rusev and Cesaro, there's seven wrestlers that John Cena has faced and excelled against in the past year. Cena already was a box office draw. But, the fans were right, "he wrestle" well enough to fill a spot held by Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Edge and many more. Now, he's proving that he's almost ready to. Again, John Cena, ladies and gentlemen.
