John Cena is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars to ever set foot inside a WWE ring. Even though he's often away from the company for months at a time because of his acting career, it's always a big deal when he returns.
Throughout his WWE career, John Cena has faced countless superstars, with memorable feuds against the likes of CM Punk, Randy Orton and The Rock.
However, not many people will remember how many times the 16-time World Champion set foot inside a WWE ring with a member of WWE's Women's Division. Actually, he's done that plenty of times.
Here are 14 WWE women who have set foot inside a ring with or against John Cena.
#14. & #13. AJ Lee and Vickie Guerrero lead to John Cena getting demolished by Big E
On Monday Night RAW on December 17th, 2012 episode, John Cena teamed up with Vickie Guerrero to take on the team of Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee in the main event.
Ziggler and Cena had been feuding over the Money in the Bank briefcase, and Cena had prevented Dolph from cashing in the briefcase earlier on in the night against the then World Heavyweight Champion Big Show.
Vickie Guerrero and AJ Lee were also arguing over Lee's actions at the previous Tables Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view and the Slammy award for 'Kiss of the Year'.
This led to a confrontation between all four Superstars in question in the form of a mixed tag team match between Guerrero and Cena vs Ziggler and Lee.
However, the match will mostly be remembered for the debut of Big E (Langston) on the main roster. He demolished John Cena at the behest of AJ Lee.
#12. Nikki Bella teamed up with John Cena several times
Former real-life partners John Cena and Nikki Bella shared some great moments in the ring together. Not only did Cena propose to Bella in the middle of a WWE ring, but they'd also wrestled together in one too.
The two teamed up in two mixed tag matches in 2017, one in an episode of SmackDown Live and one at WrestleMania 33. And to make matters even better, they went undefeated.
But who were their opponents?
#11. Maryse and The Miz took on John Cena at WrestleMania 33
One pair of opponents were The Miz and Maryse.
John Cena reignited his feud with The Miz, leading up to a match at WrestleMania 33, and this time the two former world champions were able to get their real-life partners involved.
While the match itself was fine, the more memorable moment came afterwards, as Cena got down on one knee and proposed to Nikki Bella in the middle of the ring on WWE's Grandest Stage Of Them All.
#10. Carmella and James Ellsworth took on WWE's power couple John Cena and Nikki Bella
Carmella and James Ellsworth have the privilege of being the catalyst that led to John Cena and Nikki Bella teaming up in WWE for the first time. The pair antagonized The Champ and Fearless Nikki on SmackDown, leading to a match between the two.
The Miz and Maryse were also on commentary as the goal was to ultimately lead to that WrestleMania 33 mixed tag team match.
#9. & #8. Becky Lynch and John Cena took on Andrade and Zelina Vega
Back when Andrade "Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega still worked for WWE, the pair teamed up to take on two of WWE's most dominant Superstars ever, John Cena and Becky Lynch. The match took place on the December 29th episode of SmackDown Live, in which Becky Lynch trapped Zelina Vega in her arm bar finishing move and made her tap out.
The Champ and The Man predictably made short work of Almas and Vega and will probably go down as one of the strongest mixed tag team pairings the WWE has ever put together in the ring.
#7. John Cena and Trish Stratus teamed up twice in WWE
John Cena and Becky Lynch may have been the strongest mixed tag team pairing of all time in WWE, but there's another team competing for that crown: Cena and Trish Stratus.
The pair teamed up twice on WWE Monday Night RAW, in 2006 and 2008. They hold a win/lose record of 50% which makes Nikki Bella Cena's most effective female partner so far.
#6. Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella took on John Cena and Trish Stratus
Of course, if John Cena teamed up with Trish Stratus in a mixed tag team match, he needed to share the ring with another woman as an opponent, which leads to another entry into this list!
First, we'll tackle the 2008 match, which was Cena and Stratus against Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix. Cena and Stratus obviously picked up the win by hitting Marella with an Attitude Adjustment to get the pin.
#5. Lita wrestled against John Cena three times, including in singles action!
John Cena's opponents when he teamed with Trish Stratus and Carlito in a losing effort in 2006 were Edge, Randy Orton and Lita, making Lita the next entry on this list.
But more interestingly, Lita is one of the few, if not the only, female superstars to face John Cena in a one-on-one match. This took place on the September 25th, 2006 episode of RAW and it was a No Holds Barred match.
Lita was able to get a few slaps in with Edge looking on from ringside but ultimately Cena made short work of her, hitting her with an Attitude Adjustment and pinning her to win.
Earlier in the year, Edge and Lita had teamed up together to take on John Cena and another female WWE Superstar, our next entry on the list!
#4. Maria Kanellis teamed with John Cena against Edge and Lita
When Edge and John Cena were feuding over the World Heavyweight Championship, Lita was being portrayed as a promiscuous woman using her feminine wiles to help further Edge's career, which... well, it aged poorly.
After Edge and Lita confronted Maria and Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Cena came out and made the save. Vince McMahon paired Cena and Maria up to take on Edge and Lita.
The match ended when Lita tried to distract Cena by lifting her top up, but Cena managed to not fall for the ruse and moved out of the way, which caused Edge to accidentally spear his own partner. And Maria, in her first ever match, picked up the pin.
#3. & #2. Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie shared a ring with John Cena
At WWE Rebellion in 2002 John Cena teamed up with Dawn Marie to take on Billy Kidman and Torrie Wilson in what would be the last ever UK Exclusive WWE pay-per-view.
The match was more about Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson than it was about Cena and Kidman. The two female WWE Superstars were about to enter into a lengthy and deeply personal feud involving Wilson's real-life father, with this match as the launching off point.
Incredibly, Kidman and Wilson won the match as John Cena in 2003 was a lot different to John Cena now. For starters, he was a heel then.
#1. John Cena's partner against Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch and Umaga was Candice Michelle
WWE in 2007 was a different beast than it is now. Then RAW GM Jonathan Coachman just decided to book a match with all of the champions on RAW at the time.
This meant the faces and heels were paired together, meaning that World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch and Intercontinental Champion Umaga would team up to face WWE Divas Champion Candice Michelle and WWE World Champion John Cena.
It sounded mental on paper but the match was very well put together with lots of massive heat moments of Umaga preparing to kill Candice, only to be stopped by Cena or a chair-wielding Jeff Hardy, who allowed Cena to pick up the win for his mismatched team.
