John Cena.

To some, he is the ultimate babyface, helping to carry the company both in and outside of the ring.

To others, he is the worst thing to happen to wrestling, ruining everyone and everything he touches with his 'five moves of doom'.

Regardless of how you feel about Big Match John, it's impossible to deny Cena's ability to draw a response from everyone he meets.

Joining the company in 2002, Cena has done it all, being one of two men to become a 16-time World Champion, as well as being a United States Champion, Tag Champion, Money in the Bank winner and two-time Royal Rumble winner.

But Cena has made plenty of friends and enemies over his years.

Here are three WWE Superstars who like John Cena, and two that can't stand him.


#3: Likes Cena: Sheamus

Sheamus dethroned the Chaingang soldier in 2009 to capture his first WWE Championship.

With his imposing physique and dominant movest, there are plenty of similarities between John Cena and The Bar's Sheamus.

Debuting on the main roster in 2009, it didn't take long for Sheamus to run through the ECW roster, and after being drafted to RAW, found himself going up against Cena.

Helping Sheamus adapt to the main event backstage, Cena lost the WWE Championship to the Irishman at the first WWE TLC event, smashing the Bumblebee star through a table.

Remember that Sheamus had been on the main roster for less than six months, though Cena saw something special in him, and vowed to make him a star.

This strategy certainly paid off, as Sheamus has gone on to have several World title reigns, and is riding high as part of the Bar on SmackDown.

#2: Probably doesn't: Baron Corbin

Corbin probably isn't hoping to face off against Cena ever again, after they feuded in 2017.

When Baron Corbin captured the 2017 Money in the Bank contract, many people had high hopes for the Lone wolf.

After all, nearly everyone who had cashed in the illustrious briefcase had become World Champion, though one that hadn't cashed in successfully, was Cena himself.

After reports of backstage heat, Corbin became just the third person in history to cash-in unsuccessfully, it what must've been a tough point for the future-Constable.

As it was Cena who costed him the World Championship, the two met in the opening of Summerslam 2017, in what could've been a huge win for Corbin.

Instead, Cena squashed Corbin in the opening of the show, and though Big Match John is a huge star, Corbin probably isn't hoping to feud with him again, anytime soon.

#2: Likes Cena: Randy Orton

Cena and the Viper have faced off over a dozen times in WWE.

They may have been part of one of WWE's longest-running feuds, but behind the scenes, John Cena is good friends with the Viper Randy Orton.

It's easy to see why, as both Cena and Orton joined SmackDown around the same time, and when Orton captured the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam 2004, it was only a matter of month before Cena became the WWE Champion, at WrestleMania 21.

Though the pair have competed against each other in Iron Man, I-Quit and Hell in A Cell matches, the pair are good friends, and bonded during their time together in OVW.

Cena has even described Orton as the greatest performer of our generation, showing that the pair have a close bond, built on hard work, determination and a mutual sense of respect for the others achievements.

#1: Probably doesn't: Brock Lesnar

Lesnar and Cena had beef after their Extreme Rules match in April 2012.

The reigning Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar isn't exactly known for being the friendliest person in WWE.

After all, when your contract allows you a completely private locker-room, separate from the boys, there is bound to be some tension.

Whilst the two have feuded with the past, it is their Extreme Rules 2012 bout that seems to have caused some controversy.

According to reports, the match, Lesnar's first in the WWE in over eight years, was supposed to have Lesnar lose, but Cena being carried out on a stretcher, due to the Beast's mauling.

Instead, Lesnar lost, and Cena happily celebrated in the ring, infuriating the Beast.

Two huge stars, the two clearly perceive WWE differently, and it's unlikely that these two will see eye-to-eye, despite their amazing matches in the past.

#1: Likes Cena: Kevin Owens

Much like the Viper and the Great White, Kevin Owens is another friend of Cena that the 16-time World Champion has feuded with.

When Owens joined the main roster in 2015 (still as NXT Champion) it was Cena he first faced, defeating John clean at the Elimination Chamber pay per view.

Backstage, Cena saw Owens as a special talent, and much like Sheamus, did his best to get the character over.

Speaking on Chris Jericho's podcast, Owens revealed that the pair bonded, and how Cena had asked the Prizefighter to bring his son to a show, after discovering the second-generation Canadian was a huge fan of his.

When this happened, Cena gave the young man a letter, apologizing for missing him the last time WWE was in town, in a truly kind act from the 16-time World Champion
