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

2. Edge – 180 Matches

The story of John Cena cannot be told without mentioning one of his greatest rivals. The Rated R Superstar made his singles career battling John Cena all over the world. Edge and John Cena were the preeminent feud of the Ruthless Aggression Era.

It started with the first-ever Money in the Bank cash-in and weaved its way through a litany of World Championship and gimmick matches. Their issues leaked into every part of World Wrestling Entertainment and will hopefully be wonderfully bookended in December.

With 180 matches between the two men, it’s hard to focus on just a few, but there are some important ones. Edge’s Money in the Bank cash-in was a short yet incredibly impactful contest that led to a summer of bangers between the two men.

Culminating in one of the best singles TLC matches in WWE history. Outside of that, there wasn’t a time in either man’s career when they were put across from one another. Edge and John Cena will always be a huge part of one another’s stories.
