7 Underrated WWE Matches John Cena Haters Ignore

2. Triple H Vs. John Cena (Night Of Champions 2008)

Triple H made John Cena look like a million bucks at WrestleMania 22 by putting him over strongly. That's the go-to match between the pair, but Night Of Champions 2008 is every bit as fun. Those who hate giving Cena credit will grit teeth when watching back to this one, because it's genuinely hard not to get caught up in the back-and-forth format.

That's a formula that's been worked to death in WWE main events, of course, but Triple H and Cena always felt like a good fit. This was 'Power vs. Power', a real throwback to headliners worked by the likes of Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, only with a tad more speed.

It's fine if Cena's biggest critics want to bash his limited flexibility or kid-friendly persona, but it's not cool to outright dismiss his work ethic. Cena has always been able to adapt his style to suit whomever he's sharing the ring with, and that was the case against Triple H.
