The Greatest Rivals of John Cena in WWE, Based on Total Matches

5. Seth Rollins – 145 Matches

Kane being so high on the list was a shock, but Seth Rollins even cracking the top 8 is a bigger story. Looking back, it doesn’t seem as if John Cena and Seth Rollins spent that much time in the ring. They were both in the company for only a few years before Cena started taking long breaks from the company. However, that didn’t stop either man from competing in over 140 matches against one another and producing some truly memorable moments in the process.

John Cena was one of the first targets of The Shield, so they were able to get in the ring a lot. Usually, this was in multi-man matches, but the televised ones were fantastic and showed a great future for the young stars.

Seth Rollins and John Cena were not just great in multi-man matches, producing a great Summerslam match for the WWE & United States Championship. It was a compelling Winner Take All contest that served as a passing of the torch moment for Seth Rollins.
