June 27, 2002 - During an episode of SmackDown, Kurt Angle stood in the ring and challenged anyone in the back willing & ready to take him on. Out came an unknown whippersnapper donned in Create-A-Wrestler red and black tights/boots. Once that newcomer grabbed the mic, angrily screamed "RUTHLESS...AGGRESSION!," and viciously slapped Angle, the legend of John Cena began to take shape. A dramatic gimmick change to a badass heel rapper eventually led to Cena rising the ladder to becoming recognized as the heart & soul of WWE from 2005 onward. As the days wind down for Cena and fans become more comfortable with the leader of the "Cenation" finally hanging up his boots (well, sneakers actually!) for good, it's only right that we look back on the greatest matches that made him such a bonafide wrestling Hall of Famer. This is John Cena: Best Matches From His Storied Career, Ranked.
