Wrestlers With The Most World Titles (Across All Major Federations)
2. John Cena (16)
13 WWE Championships
3 World Heavyweight Championships
In 2019, Vince McMahon referred to John Cena as "WWE's Babe Ruth". Kayfabe-wise, it's hard to argue against it. Outside of kayfabe, it's actually not that easier.
Put the best mic workers or in-ring grapplers against John Cena, and he'll never look out of depth.The old John "Carried" Cena BS died out a long time ago, when it became impossible to keep pretending like the greatness of his matches had nothing to do with him. Against CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar, Edge or AJ Styles, Cena wrestled some of the finest WWE matches in history.
Yes, fans have hated John a lot, sometimes fairly, sometimes not. But be sure of one thing: when all is said and done they do recognize hard work and true passion. Sooner than later, John Cena will retire and then, the standing ovation and "Thank You Cena" chants will be sung especially loudly and with the upmost fervour.
