#2 Best: Cena ties Flair’s record

Cena’s time for glory has finally arrived

All records, however sacred they are, are meant to be broken. We all knew that Cena would not only tie Ric Flair’s record (which is actually much more than 16 championship wins) but eventually surpass it.

We’re glad he paid tribute to his idol - The Nature Boy with the Figure Four leg lock as well. John Cena, much like Ric Flair is a once-in-a-lifetime performer, and we are glad AJ Styles gave him the match of his life for him to get to this coveted spot.

Did anyone notice that Little Naitch was the referee for the match?
