7. Chris Jericho vs. John Cena – Survivor Series 2008
2008 belonged to Chris Jericho, and the soon-to-be 2008 Superstar of the Year entered Survivor Series as the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. Jericho, public enemy number one in the TD Garden, defended his championship against John Cena. Big Match John marked his return to action in the main event, as he had been out of action for three months. The hometown crowd in Boston heavily supported Cena to get over the line.
Jericho and Cena’s World Heavyweight Championship match wasn’t anything special. Cena’s return to in-ring competition pleased the fans in Boston. Y2J expertly targeted Cena’s surgically repaired neck throughout. Jericho executed his patented Codebreaker, but Cena’s resiliency is unrivaled as he kicked out. All things considered, it was Cena’s first match in months, and inevitably, Cena became the new World Heavyweight Champion. This was the first time that Cena won the World Heavyweight Championship in his legendary career.
