Breaking Down John Cena’s Win Percentage: Identifying the Sixteen-Time World Champion’s Best Year in His Pro Wrestling Career

John Cena is a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling. He started his career with WWE back in 2002 and has never looked back since. He spawned a successful Hollywood career along with winning multiple championship titles. Before he was nominated for various awards in Hollywood, he was a sixteen-time world champion, standing on par with Ric Flair.

With his upcoming face-off with The Bloodline at Fastlane, it would be interesting to see some of his best years at the promotion after being a part of it for over two decades.

John Cena’s epic run

Since his debut in pro wrestling to today, John Cena has been a part of a ton of matches. In his career, he has participated in 2,275 matches. Out of these, he has won 1,791 matches. This implies that he has won almost 78.7% of matches in his career. The star has lost almost 429 matches, which amounts to 18.9% of total matches. Out of the total matches, only 55 matches, or 2.4% of matches ended up in a draw. However, in his initial days at the Stanford-based promotion, things were not in the 46-year-old star’s favor. 

In 2002, he participated in almost 115 matches. He ended up winning 56 of the matches with a win percentage of 48.7 %. This was still considered good for a newbie, but they were not big numbers compared to his present-day tally. This followed for another year until 2004. He participated in 117 matches that year and won 91 matches. This was the first time he had a higher win percentage at WWE which was 77.8%. The tides then turned in his favor and he was winning most of his matches. A mere couple of times, The Leader of Cenation lost more than 50% of matches in a year, but his graph has been going up since then.

John Cena’s collection of titles

Fans could say that John Cena was top of his class since the very start. Before joining WWE, he had a brief stint at Ohio Valley Wrestling and Ultimate Pro Wrestling. At OVW, he was comfortably sitting on the OVW Heavyweight Championship title and the Southern Tag Team Championship. He was able to defend these titles for 84 days and 75 days, respectively. He made sure to improve his record once he moved to WWE.

After winning the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time, he was able to defend it for almost 280 days. The second time, he fell short and defended it for 133 days. For the third time, he tried to prove his dominance and defended it for 380 days, before losing it to Randy Orton. His collective reign as the WWE Championship title holder has lasted for 1254 days. Apart from that, he was the WWE United States Champion with a total reign of 403 days on the title.

With such an impeccable record, it’s obvious to see why he is considered one of the greatest at the WWE. With his upcoming tag team match with LA Knight against The Bloodline, what do you think the results will be?
