If we only take their singles matches into account, Cena has six victories while Orton has five, with Cena only scoring the tie-breaker win at Backlash 2025.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cena often had the upper hand when there were more wrestlers involved, getting his hand raised in a Royal Rumble Match (2013), two Elimination Chamber Matches (2010 and 2011), two Fatal Four Way Matches (Backlash &#8217;07 and Battleground &#8217;14), a five-pack challenge (Vengeance: Night of Champions &#8217;07) and an 8-man Ladder Match (Money in the Bank &#8217;14) that also featured The Viper. While Orton also scored notable wins in this feud, we have to give the edge to\u00a0John Cena, all things considered.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on John Cena and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
