5 Former WWE John Cena Rivals Left Off the Farewell Tour

#4. Sheamus

John Cena put Sheamus over big time in December 2009. The Celtic Warrior put Cena through a table to win the WWE Championship within only a few months of his debut. The title victory instantly launched Sheamus into the stratosphere of WWE.

Over the next year, both men would cross paths multiple times, often with the WWE Title in the mix. Sheamus was a participant in “The Last Time is Now” tournament and also progressed to the second round. However, an untimely shoulder injury resulted in his withdrawal from the tournament.

Fortunately, the Celtic Warrior teamed with Rey Mysterio and John Cena in Cena’s final RAW against The Judgment Day on November 17 inside Madison Square Garden.
