5 Things John Cena did at WrestleMania that surprised fans

#1 John Cena lifts Edge and Big Show at the same time

At WrestleMania 25, John Cena met Edge and Big Show in a Triple Threat match for Edge's World title. Cena came out to the ring in one of the greatest WrestleMania entrances of all time, with several John Cena look-alikes standing on both sides of the entrance ramp, while he sprinted towards the squared circle. The match was a hard-hitting affair, with Edge and Show double-teaming John Cena at various points.

John Cena won the match in impressive fashion

During the final moments of the match, John Cena displayed one of the most impressive feats of strength the WWE Universe had ever seen, and lifted both Edge and Big Show for the Attitude Adjustment. Edge quickly dodged, but Cena ended up hitting Big Show with the move. Immediately after, Cena hit Edge with the AA, and dropped him on Big Show. This was enough for John Cena to score a win over Big Show, thus becoming the new World Champion. Cena was one of the most powerful entities in all of WWE at the time, but lifting two large men at the same time made fans realize just how physically gifted he was.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
