5 Things John Cena does better in 2018 than in 2002 and 5 things he does worse

#9 Better in 2018: Quality of matches

John Cena's matches have gotten better in recent years

Former WWE producer Bruce Prichard revealed on his Something To Wrestle podcast in 2017 that there were many people within the company who regarded Rico Costantino as a better wrestler than John Cena when the two were called up to the main roster from OVW in 2002.

So, needless to say, “Big Match John” has significantly improved as an in-ring competitor over the last 16 years, and he showed during his matches against AJ Styles at SummerSlam 2016 and the 2017 Royal Rumble that, on his day and with the right opponent, he can produce legitimate candidates for Match of the Year.
