Who Has John Cena Wrestled The Most On WWE PLE/PPV?

2. Kane

Unlike the other names on this list, Kane is not someone who feuded with John Cena on and off over the years. In fact, Cena and Kane never feuded with each other outside of that brief (and really f- weird) “Rise Above Hate” program in early 2012.

Kane joins this list at number two because he often competed in the annual Royal Rumble Match alongside Cena and occasionally shared the ring with The Champ in other multi-person gimmick matches, such as the Elimination Chamber or Money in the Bank.

Much like Big Show earlier, Kane never scored a PPV win over John Cena. Meanwhile, the 17-time WWE world champion had his hand raised in 8 of their 15 interactions on pay-per-view, including in one of their two singles matches (the other one saw them fight to a double count-out). So, of course, John Cena had the upper hand against The Big Red Machine.
