John Cena has been a constant fixture in the WWE for more than a decade and a half. A part timer now, it won't be long before he hangs up his boots.
WWE fans will fondly remember his epic rivalries with numerous superstars. While there have been many, there are some which rise above them all.
In this article, we take a look at some of John Cena's greatest rivalries of all time.
#1 The Rock
A lot has been said and written about this rivalry which spanned over two WrestleManias. Both were mega-draws and genuine stars the fans cared about, and both had never faced each other before.
This rivalry severely blurred the lines between kayfabe and reality, with their real life beef spilling over into WWE programming.
Logical and smart booking kept this feud heated over an entire year, a rarity on today's programming. The match was itself a spectacle, and this rivalry will surely be remembered for ages to come.
#2 AJ Styles
Everyone lost their minds when AJ Styles debuted in the WWE at the Royal Rumble. No one had thought that 'Mr TNA' would ever sign with the WWE.
Everyone was excited at the prospect of John Cena - a man who oozed WWE, facing off against AJ Styles - a man who had built up his career in TNA.
Match quality wasn't a problem, and both were touted as the best in the world. There were doubts over AJ's ability to hold his own on the mic against a promo master like Cena. He proved them wrong with some scintillating promo work.The matches were incredible, to say the least.
#3 Randy Orton
John Cena vs Randy Orton was the feud that carried WWE through its lean period. They have faced each other in almost every possible stipulation till date.
Although WWE almost overdid it with a saturation of matches (typical), this rivalry has aged well. There has been everything in this rivalry - a detestable heel, a beloved face, and a personal edge.
Orton can cut killer promos (no pun intended) while playing a heel, while Cena is a master of the stick. The promos were incredible, and the matches ranged from good to great. While the match quality wasn't consistent, Randy Orton vs Cena will always be remembered by the fans for the right reasons.
#4 Edge
Edge may well have been the WWE Superstar that made John Cena the megastar he is today. The 'Rated-R Superstar' was the greatest heel at that time, with his sleazy opportunistic character turning into a perfect foil for John Cena's no nonsense, tough guy character.
The feud began when Edge cashed in his MITB briefcase on Cena. This kicked off an epic rivalry which elevated both superstars into the stratosphere. The crowd hated Edge and adored Cena. Suffice to say, the roof was on fire whenever they clashed.
