Every WWE Wrestler John Cena Defeated For A WWE World Championship Ranked

4. The Rock

“Once in a Lifetime” between John Cena and The Rock was enough. However, it became clear in the summer of 2012 that Cena and Rock would close out WrestleMania 29 in a rematch for the WWE Championship, especially when Rock announced that he’d be competing for the WWE Championship at the 2013 Royal Rumble. Rock won the WWE Championship from CM Punk, whilst Cena won the 2013 Royal Rumble match at the same event.

Unfortunately, Cena and Rock were unable to recreate the magic in the main event of WrestleMania 29. Furthermore, the reigning WWE Champion sustained an injury that hampered his performance. Inevitably, Cena reclaimed the WWE Championship by avenging his loss to Rock from a year prior.
