Cena won his first WWE Championship from JBL at WrestleMania 21. A few months later, the former Doctor of Thuganomics was drafted to Raw, taking the spinner belt with him to the red brand. John Cena’s first PPV title defense as a Raw star happened at Vengeance, where Cena defended in a Triple Threat Match.
Chris Jericho and Christian were the challengers, and the three men had an exciting 15-minute match. Despite being one of the best matches of Cena’s first WWE Championship reign, it is rarely talked about today. You should definitely give this one a try if you have some free time.
