John Cena Surpasses 70-Year-Old Hulk Hogan Despite Abysmal Streak

The debate of the GOAT of WWE is an evergreen topic for the entire WWE Universe, irrespective of the era. Two names that almost always pop up in this discussion are Hulk Hogan and John Cena. While everyone has their own parameters and indicators to deduce greatness, John Cena recently surpassed Hulk Hogan in a very significant one. 

The 16-time WWE Champion recently achieved a grand milestone in the latest leg of his WWE career. A news update uploaded on social media recently pointed out the parameter where Cena clearly surpassed The Hulkster. In fact, while public appeal and charisma are very subjective markers of greatness, Cena has beaten the 70-year-old in something concrete.

John Cena has an incredible win record in WWE

John Cena has been the most recognizable face of WWE for more than 20 years now. Making his WWE debut in 2002, The Champ instantly made a strong impression on the people. Moreover, he almost always secured the main event matches, eventually winning several championship belts as well. WrestleFeatures recently broke a new piece of news on X, claiming Cena has overtaken Hogan in terms of win rate percentage.

The tweet carried the caption, “John Cena has now had 2228 matches in @WWE The WWE legend has a win percentage of almost 80%. #SmackDown.” This shows how heavily WWE pushed Cena, especially during his time at the top in WWE. In comparison, The Hulkster only has a win percentage of 74 percent, which further asserts WWE’s notion that Cena is the “greatest of all time”.

Both Cena and Hulk Hogan have enjoyed impressively long careers and have always been the center of everyone’s attention. Cena and Hogan were the biggest babyfaces in WWE with their characters mirroring each other.

Maintaining a win rate of almost 80 percent in overall matches is a gigantic achievement in itself. However, John Cena has achieved far more than just a higher winning margin. The Champ has adorned his shoulders with the WWE World Championship a record 16 times. Apart from that he is also a former two-time Royal Rumble winner and has headlined WrestleMania multiple times. Despite these accolades, Cena has been on an abysmal recent singles run in WWE.

Cena’s wretched singles run since 2018

When we talk about John Cena we recall all the records he has made, but right now he is holding another record which doesn’t look good. The Hollywood star has not won a singles match in WWE since 2018 and his drought extends to an astounding 2000+ days in such matches.
