5 Reasons why I can't hate John Cena anymore

#2 Champion of Champions

Cena has accumulated 25 total Championships, with 16 being WWE Championships

Okay, I'll be the first to admit, I don't buy into the notion that a professional wrestler is defined by the number of title's he or she has won over the course of their respective career. Afterall, the final decision of who will or will not adorn the top prize is ultimately in the hands of those who make creative decisions.

However, there is something to be said about the individual holding the title, when they elevate the overall status of the championship. When John Cena carries a title, he goes into overdrive, working tirelessly to preserve the prestige of that particular title. Regardless if it's the United States Championship or the WWE Championship if Cena is holding it, you can rest assured he will risk life and limb to make sure the title is held in the highest regard.

Throughout his career, John Cena has won a total of 25 championships in all, with 16 of those being WWE Championships. With the current climate of WWE's storylines, it is possible that he will capture his 17th WWE Championship title victory in the coming weeks. There was a time when I would be 100% opposed to seeing Cena win another title. However, I have come around and while there are others I would love to see win the strap, Cena is no longer my worst case scenario.
