John Cena is one of those WWE Superstars who has done it all. Cena’s legacy in WWE is unmatchable as he indeed might be the greatest WWE Superstar of all time. Throughout his career, he has faced some of the biggest names in the industry. However, there is one man, in particular, Cena singled out to be one of his favorite opponents.
The sixteen-time World Champion has been part of some of the biggest matches in WWE history. He has faced the likes of The Rock, Roman Reigns, and more. However, Cena, for the longest time, has been WWE’s top good guy character. Hence, his feuds with heels have been better storytelling-wise. He has faced the ultimate bad guys in Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton, but he chose someone else as one of his favorites.
