 What's good Josh, it's your boy Ross back out here with another video. So right here, check out 10 WWE wrestlers who shockingly defeated John Cena clean. We all know that is a rarity. Super Cena as he used to be, John Boy, he does not lose that much. Rarely, and especially clean. So we gotta check out this list. Appreciate all the love and support on the channel. Let's do the damn thing. Throughout his tenuous face of the WWE, John Cena was extremely protected. Just like all faces of the company in WWE, they were reserved in having Cena take losses. And if he was ever gonna lose, WWE would do everything in their power to protect him. Notwithstanding Cena's strong bond, there are a number of times that Cena's loss can completely clean, and this has usually been to a main event talent and not traditionally someone that needed elevating. Although criticism was previously directed at Cena for being unwilling to put talent over, in recent years, Cena seems willing to put anyone over and truly help pave the way for the future of WWE. Join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 WWE wrestlers who defeated John Cena clean. Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling video. Part of that definitely was Vince. Definitely part of that was Vince, part of it John. 10. Kevin Owens In terms of main roster debuts, Kevin Owens' main roster debut in May of 2015 certainly set a high standard. Owens, who was the reigning NXT champion at the time, interrupted the then US champion John Cena. Owens would then lay Cena out, instantly establishing himself as a big deal and consequently assured that fans took him seriously. Owens and Cena would then collide at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view and amazingly Cena put Owens over. Owens and Cena had a fantastic match and it was without a doubt the highlight of a lackluster pay-per-view. Defeating Cena was the right call and it wasn't a move that anyone saw coming, but for those who don't know, this was one of my first times seeing who Kevin Owens was, dead ass. When he came on to Monday Night Raw, I wasn't watching NXT like that. When I saw him, I was like, damn, who is this guy, this champion from NXT. And then when I saw what they were building up to and him actually beating John Cena, I was clean. I was like, oh, shit, I got to check this guy out. I got to check out who he is, like, and that's what got me started into checking out NXT and who Kevin Owens was and stuff like that because of them putting him over, I became a fan of Kevin Owens, dead ass. That's how I became a fan. They put him over. I was like, yo, I got to see more of this guy. The victory cemented Owens as a serious player who was a legitimate threat to anyone on the main roster. Loved it. Thank you for to Cena for doing the right thing on this particular evening and making Owens a household name on the main roster. 9. The Undertaker John Cena and The Undertaker have collided twice on pay-per-view during their decorated WWB careers. But this pay-per-view match came in 2003 just as Cena was ascending to the main event scene in the company. The match which took place at the vengeance event is rather underrated and showed that the two had great chemistry. The dead man would win this match clean as a whistle as it was rare for The Undertaker to lose at all. The mind on a pay-per-view at this stage of his WWB tenure, the two would then collide 15 years later in 2018 at WrestleMania 34. This would be a babyface vs babyface showdown and the match mainly existed so that Undertaker could redeem himself from the year prior to that WrestleMania. That's pretty much all that match was and in the end it was pretty much a squash match, a glorified squash match against John Cena. The dead man was supposed to retire in a match against Roman Reigns but the match was terrible and it was taken to stay active for several more years. The match was a complete squash with Taker just performing all his famous moves on Cena. Going into the match nobody expected a squash as fans had long waited an extended match between the two and even Taker himself expressed disappointment with the lack of match time. Yeah that shit was a squash. I was expecting at least about 10-15 minutes because they've only wrestled each other twice which is crazy to think about. They've only wrestled each other twice so it's one of those type of things where it's like yeah you wanted to see this especially twice on pay-per-view you just wanted to see them actually have this match at WrestleMania and see what they could do but they didn't have much time I guess. The match showed just how selfless Cena had become by 2018 and he made it his mission to make the Undertaker look as good as humanly possible. 8. Triple H The most well-known match which took place between John Cena and Triple H was without a doubt their WrestleMania 22 encounter. This was a main event WWE title match which saw Cena come out victorious. The two collided several more times over the years and Triple H has actually defeated Cena a number of times in completely clean victories. The most famous of these took place at the night of champions pay-per-view in 2008. The two once again faced off for the WWE title but this time the game was victorious. This was a fantastic match and it was about time that Triple H finally got his win back over the multi-time WWE world champion. 7. Albert Del Rio The John Cena US title open challenge is one of the most acclaimed time periods of Cena's career. Every week Cena would come out on Raw and declare an open challenge to anyone at the roster. Cena had tremendous matches with the likes of Sami Zayn and Cesaro. This exciting run came to an end at Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in 2015 as Cena dropped the title to a then returning Albert Del Rio. Del Rio returned to the company and cleanly defeated Cena with a kick to the face to win the title. This decision received widespread criticism as fans believed that the individual that defeated Cena should have been a brand new talent and someone who needed a huge win and not somebody that had already been pushed to the moon. Which is understandable. 6. Daniel Bryan By the time WWE arrived at the SummerSlam pay-per-view in 2013, Daniel Bryan's popularity had skyrocketed. It was clear that WWE needed to give Bryan the WWE title and they were gonna have him defeat John Cena in the main event. The biggest pay-per-view of the month was going into the match Cena had an established injury, but with Bryan not cheating or using any illegal tactics in the match, his victory was still classed as a completely clean win. This was the match that saw Bryan debut the running knee finisher, while some fans claimed that Bryan debuted the finisher so Cena wouldn't have to tap out. It was great to see Bryan secure a huge victory over him. Yeah, cuz he was, at that time Daniel was known for just tapping people out with the yes lock or what not. He was known for tapping people out. John was definitely not about to tap out to John Cena, I mean to Daniel Bryan, cuz that would have been in fucking sane. That would have been ridiculous if he would have tapped him out. So he, you know, they decided to use the running knee. Oh, this, watching that live, I was so happy. I was like, yes, they did the right thing. He beat him clean. They had to confede it. The crowd was going crazy. And then triple H screws him over. Oh, this was so good. Such a great way to end SummerSlam. Over him, the match itself delivered, even with Cena's injury, and it was a shame that they didn't revisit the feud and do another match between the two of the all-time WWE greats. This was good. Number five, AJ Styles. One of the most memorable rivals in John Cena's career was his feud with AJ Styles. Cena and AJ had phenomenal chemistry inside the ring, and the matches between the two helped take AJ to the next level. They were great. SummerSlam match in 2016 is perhaps their most appreciated, and it saw Cena do the right thing and put AJ over clean in the middle of the ring. Going into the match, there was some concern that WWE were going to have Cena win and officially end AJ's push, but to everyone's surprise, AJ was victorious. Number four, Kerran. Which is great. Great move. Kerran Angle has been synonymous with John Cena's career from the very beginning. Cena first made his main roster debut in 2000. Angle was his first opponent, and he was also the first person to defeat Cena. The two had several notable and high-profile matches, and most of the time Cena was a victorious, but earlier on in Cena's career, Cena struggled to attain a victory over the Olympic gold medalist. Take, for instance, their match at No Mercy pay-per-view in 2003. This was a clean submission win for Angle as Cena tapped out from the ankle lock. That's crazy, bro. Angle would pin Cena several more times, but these were in multi-matches rather than traditional singles matches. There was a- I believe that's one of the last times John Cena ever tapped. I believe, I could correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that was one of the only and the last time he ever tapped after that. I could be wrong, correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that was the only and last time he tapped, like, to lose the match. Push from fans to see Cena as Angle's final opponent in WWE, and sort of seeing the two arch rivals face off one more time at WrestleMania 35. Which I would love. Certainly, WWE had other ideas and instead opted to have Angle retire against Baron Corbin. Number three, Brock Lesnar. The Beast Brock Lesnar's always seemed to have John Cena's number. The two would wrestle for the first time on SmackDown in 2002, and this would see Lesnar defeat Cena cleanly. Fast forward to 2003, and Lesnar would soundly defeat Cena at the backlash pay-per-view in a match which marks Cena's first time in a pay-per-view world title match. In 2014, WWE booked Cena vs. Lesnar for the world title as the main event of SummerSlam, and WWE decided to book Lesnar to legitimately switch Cena. My God. This was unbelievable to witness as never before had the face of WWE have been sacrificed in this manner. He was sacrificed. It was truly memorable, but it was the right call as Lesnar was on the run of his career after ending the Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania Street just a few months prior. Number two, The Rock. The WrestleMania 28 match between The Rock and John Cena was marketed as once-in-a-lifetime match. Which it wasn't. But the full fans expected Cena to be victorious. Cena was the full-time WWE guy, and if there was gonna be a rematch, it made little sense for The Rock to win. However, The Rock ended up defeating Cena and it quickly surfaced that they planned on doing another match between the two at the following year's event. The WrestleMania 28 match was well received by fans and The Rock was a great match. It was a pleasant surprise to those critical of Cena's strong booking. It was a great match. The question of if a rematch was needed has continued to be raised since, and the common consensus with the WWE should have left the feud alone after their initial WrestleMania 28 encounter. Yeah, this shouldn't have been a rematch. The story should have always been. I get it. If they were gonna do a rematch, John needed to be a heel. But they never, the story was there. He couldn't beat The Rock. The guy that he looked up to and emulated at some point, he couldn't beat him. Then he just can't win matches. And finally he snaps, he goes rogue. Like, cuz after this, this is when he faced Brock. And then he beat Brock, which was stupid. He should have lost to Brock. Then he should have just kept losing to finally he snapped. He went heel, he called out The Rock again. And then you have him beat him as a heel. I think that would have been much better. Counter, and number one, Roman Reigns. And following John Cena taking on a part-time role in WWE, WWE needed a new top guy and their default choice was Roman Reigns. Reigns struggled to get over in the manner WWE wanted as his connection. I don't think John has ever beaten, beat Roman Reigns. One of the ways WWE would try to pass the torch from Cena to Reigns was by having them wrestle in a dream match at No Mercy in 2017. Reigns naturally won this match, but it did a little to help Reigns's maybe face, as most fans worked out what WWE were trying to do. Thankfully, they would eventually turn Reigns heel in 2020, and this was a smart move, and the character work that Reigns had delivered since has been exceptional. Reigns and Cena would collide in a rematch at Summer Slam 2021. And Cena once again put Reigns over. Cena had seemingly returned just to put Reigns over, and this was a decision which was applauded by fans. As in recent years, Cena has successfully turned once negative perceptions around, and has consequently become one of the most universally beloved and respected superstars. That's so crazy. How time has changed everything. Now that you don't see John as much, now that he's not in the main event like that, he's doing his own thing in Hollywood. When he comes back, and he usually puts somebody over. That is so amazing to see. And people love John now. John, when John Cena returns, he's usually a huge baby face. There's rarely any booze. If they do boo, it's just they do the John Cena suck song, like they do the Kurt Angle song. And it's so crazy seeing that all these years later, he's putting people over and people don't see him as much. They want to see him more. He's like a huge baby face, bro. This is the reaction Vince always really wanted for him for a long time. You know, so it's just crazy how time changes everything. And you know, when you don't see someone as much, you yearn for them more, and that's really what's happened here. And he's putting people over, so I'm off for it. I know someone asked what they want me to see. John Cena get one more title run. Would it be cool? Yes. Do I think it needs to happen? No, I just don't think it needs to happen. Because obviously he can't even really do that. He can't really give his obligations to WWE like that anymore because of his filming schedule and what he has going on in Hollywood. So that probably won't happen. But I would love to see him have one go around with somebody. A nice little feud for his send off, you know, in Hollywood. For good because at some point John is going to hang it up when it comes to this wrestling stuff. So at some point it's going to happen. But yeah, man, this was a great video, man. I forgot some of these people beat John Cena. Comment down below. Let me know. What was your favorite favorite? I guess you could say moment when someone beat John Cena. What was your favorite moment? One of my favorite moments I can remember off the top of my head is when Bray Wyatt eliminated John Cena in Elimination Chamber, bro. Do you guys remember that? Do you guys remember Bray Wyatt eliminating John Cena in Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship? That was such a great moment. Because it was like, oh my God, I think they're going to give it to Bray Wyatt here. Oh, it was so, so good. That was such a great moment. And they dropped the ball with Bray. But that moment right there, I was like, holy shit, there's change. Oh, that was so good, man. But comment down below. Let me know. But I appreciate all love and support. Road to 100K. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace.
