3. 2nd WWE Championship Reign (1/26/06 – 6/11/06)
2006 saw the beginning of the legendary rivalry between John Cena and Edge. Cena toppled his rival at the 2006 Royal Rumble to become a two-time WWE Champion. Cena’s second WWE Championship reign was excellent, and he walked into WrestleMania as the defending WWE Champion for the first time.
Fans started to turn their backs on Cena, evidently, in his WWE Title match with Triple H at WrestleMania 22. Cena’s 133-day reign as WWE Champion was brought to a halt by Rob Van Dam at ECW One Night Stand 2006.
