4. John Cena 2002
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Figwyag4emE Many have enjoyed memorable debuts by creating awe-inspiring moments or making quick impressions; few have had exceptional debut matches. When Kurt Angle issued a challenge for anyone in the locker room to defeat him few would have imagined that the challenger would be a future Hall of Famer. John Cena, before he started his Thug Life gimmick, gave Angle his best shot and many times he almost pulled off an upset. The crowd slowly started supporting the aggressively energetic debutant until Angle hit a strong pin for the win. Despite the loss Cena had earned a place in the hearts of the fans and cemented his place on the SmackDown roster.
