John Cena and Maria Kanellis' alliance on WWE was a fleeting one.

Back in 2006, Cena was feuding with Edge and, after The Rated R Superstar and Lita tried to pick a fight with Maria, the WWE Champion came to her rescue. This led to a mixed tag match where Lita and Edge wrestled the unlikely duo.

Before the match, Maria claimed that she couldn't fight Lita, and Cena gave her a little bit of persuasion before the duo headed out into the arena.

Interestingly, despite lacking in-ring experience at the time, Maria was able to pin Lita after Edge inadvertently delivered a spear to his girlfriend.

After Maria was able to help Cena win the match, the couple's alliance came to an end. Cena has been aligned with many female wrestlers throughout his WWE career, including Nikki Bella, Eve Torres, and AJ Lee.
