John Cena is a 15 time World Champion, but Ric Flair’s record of 16 has eluded him.

After being absolutely destroyed by the Beast Incarnate at SummerSlam the month before, Cena received his mandatory rematch at Night of Champions. He fared much better, this time, correcting a lot of the mistakes he made against the Beast, and at one point it appeared that he had a chance at taking the victory.
In a bad stroke of luck for Cena, however, Seth Rollins attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. He cost Cena the match but was unable to actually get his title shot off the ground, and he ran away before wasting his title shot in what would have been a very difficult situation. Alas, it was another failed attempt for Cena to win title number 16.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
