With his declaration last week that winning World title #16 was a personal goal, WWE and John Cena are officially telling the story of his quest to tie Ric Flair (by their accounting, anyway).
To prep you for that, the latest Top 10 video runs down their list of his “Greatest” title triumphs.
If there are ten, that means five got left on the cutting room floor. Which ones didn’t make the list? Here you go...
- Def. Edge at Royal Rumble in Jan. 2006
- Def. Randy Orton in an Iron Man match at Bragging Rights in Oct. 2009 (Cena had to leave Raw if he lost)
- Def. Randy Orton, Triple H, Ted DiBiase, Kofi Kingston, and Sheamus in the chamber at Elimination Chamber in Feb. 2010 (Mr. McMahon immediately made him face Batista, who beat him for the belt)
- Def. Miz, John Morrison at Extreme Rules, May 2011 (steel cage match)
- Def. Rey Mysterio on Raw, July 2011 (CM Punk was absent with the “real” WWE title)
