Every Wrestler Who Defeated John Cena For The WWE Title (And How They Did It)
6. Sheamus
The first on this list to dethrone John Cena more than once, Sheamus can't claim a singles pinfall victory over in either of his WWE Title victories, but did cover 'The Champ's shoulders for three at the explosive conclusion to June 2010's 'Fatal Four Way' main event.
After winning his first title at the previous December's 'TLC' Pay-Per-View by blocking a superplex and shoving Cena through a table, he'd gain his second run on top during a four-way match that also included Randy Orton and Edge.
Taking place in the shadow of a series of brutal attacks on wrestlers and officials by the disaffected gang of rookies from the original series of NXT, the contest broke down in the closing stages when leader Wade Barrett lead his gang in an assault on superstars backstage and followed that up by besieging the competitors in the ring.
Sheamus was able to avoid the worst of the Nexus abuse and sneak in as the group were distracted elsewhere, scoring the pin the heading for the hills as the new Champion.
Cena was demolished in the aftermath, until a little too much hotdogging with the belt from 'The Great White' saw him ran off by the group as well.
