4 WWE Superstars who once had terrible looks

#2 John Cena

A very bland Cena makes his way to the ring

John Cena is one of WWE's greatest stars, with in-ring skills, solid mic work, and a natural charisma.

But when Cena debuted, he was lambasted as one of the most boring, generic superstars on the roster, and reportedly would have been released just months into his career, if not for Stephanie McMahon, who saw the 16-time World Champion free-styling backstage.

Donned in just simple trunks, this incredibly bland look was not helped by Cena's promos, as he was still new to the company, and had virtually no character other than being the embodiment of Ruthless Aggression, whatever that meant.

Fortunately, Cena would develop into a rapper, and trade his trunks for jorts, and whilst there are some who still aren't entirely sold on the jean-shorts look, they're still a hundred times better for Big Match John than those trunks.
