Dwayne Johnson vs Roman Reigns vs John Cena: Who Has the Highest Number of WWE World Championships?

The WWE Universe will be witnessing the second volume of the Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes show at WrestleMania XL. The duo will be fighting for the WWE Championship which Roman Reigns has held for a whopping 1290+ days. Notably, his cousin Dwayne Johnson also had his eyes on the WWE title when he almost snatched Rhodes’ title shot after the Royal Rumble.

The WWE Championship is always at the center of everything that happens in the pro wrestling outfit. Several special matches like the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Money in the Bank give direct access to this title. Moreover, it is almost always the main event of every PLE. But, who among Reigns and The Rock has been the champ more times? And, is The Rock really the people’s champ, or does John Cena have the claim to that tag?

The WWE Championship tally of John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, and Roman Reigns

The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns holds the WWE Championship in its newest form, the Undisputed WWE Championship. Notably, his current reign made him the WWE Universal Champion and he later won the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar. Thus, he became the wielder of two WWE titles at the same time, and a third belt was made for him for surpassing the 1000-day mark.

This is the second Universal title reign of Reigns, and he has won the WWE Championship four times, which makes him a six-time champ. On the other hand, the newest member of The Bloodline, Dwayne Johnson has won the title ten times. Two of his title reigns came in WCW, which was acquired by WWE later on. 

Compared to Reigns and Johnson, John Cena has held the WWE Championship a total of 16 times. He is often revered as the man who won the top gold the highest number of times.

He shares the record with the legendary Ric Flair who also won the title 16 times. However, three of those belts were the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a title that is its own separate entity today.

Thus, a clear difference is visible between the numerical value of the title reigns of Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, and John Cena. While Cena has won the WWE Championship the most number of times, Reigns has the longest title run at a time. But, how do we tell which one of these WWE Superstars was the best wielder of the title?

Who among them is the best WWE Champion?

WWE Champion Roman Reigns has defended his title several times against the likes of Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar, and more. However, several fans look down upon him for not fighting legitimately and truly standing up to the prestige of the WWE Championship. Dwayne Johnson on the other hand has been one of the most dominant and electrifying WWE Champs of all time.

The Rock has faced a lot of hardcore competition from the likes of Kurt Angle, Mankind, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and more. This added more weight to the belt he wore when he was the Champion. 

John Cena also faced off against some of the best fighters to ever grace WWE’s squared circle. This includes Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Edge, and more. But, Roman Reigns has defeated John Cena, but the leader of the Cenation has never bested The Tribal Chief.
