Times Cena has been pinned clean since WM21

[Professor Chaos]

Since becoming the man at WM21 how many times has Cena been pinned cleanly with no shenanigans in a match? I can only think of 3:

The Rock at WM28.
HBK on RAW from the UK, think it was in 08.
HHH on RAW think it was the 08 draft.

Any others? Not gonna count Punk cause of the Big Johnny distraction at MITB. Edge's cash in can't be counted either.

Triple H at Night of Champions in 2008.

I know Khali pinned him clean on a show during their 2007 feud. SNME maybe?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Batista at SummerSlam 2008.

[Cronant]

Trips has got him at least 2-3 times.

[543Y2J]

HHH pinned Cena during the weekly handicap matches build to Backlash 2006 also involving Edge. I think it must be more than 2 or 3 times HHH has pinned him clean.

[BigWill]

Ryback at Payback.

[CH Punk]

Justin Gabriel, of all people, has a clean pin on Cena during the WWE vs Nexus tag match at Raw 900.

Someone did this a while back

10.10.2005 Carlito, Edge & Kurt Angle defeat John Cena, Shawn Michaels & The Big Show (19:49) (John Cena tried applying an ankle lock to Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle reversed it into a victory roll for the clean pinfall)

23.04.2007 Shawn Michaels defeats John Cena (55:49) (After 50 amazing minutes and two Sweet Chin Music's, Shawn Michaels finished Cena off)

28.05.2007 The Great Khali defeats John Cena (6:20) (Great Khali easily squashes Cena)

30.03.2008 WWE Heavyweight Title Triple Threat: Randy Orton (c) defeats John Cena and Triple H (14:06) (Triple H knocked Cena out with the Pedigree, but Orton was the one to steal the pin after doing the Punt on Triple H. This won't be the last time Triple H or Orton beat Cena)

29.06.2008 WWE Heavyweight Title: Triple H (c) defeats John Cena (19:39) (Triple H wins clean via Pedigree, nothing else to it)

17.08.2008 Batista defeats John Cena (14:10) (This was the match where Batista nearly killed Cena by reverseing a top rope move into a Powerbomb. A kick and another Powerbomb later and Batista won the match. Might have not been the planned finish, but kayfabe wise, Batista won impressively)

30.03.2009 The Big Show defeats John Cena (9:22) (Big Show basically kicked Cena's ass for 10 minutes and finished him off)

23.08.2009 WWE Heavyweight Title: Randy Orton (c) defeats John Cena (20:45) (This match was restarted everytime Randy Orton cheated to win, on the final restart, Randy Orton managed to actually beat Cena clean by catching him off-guard as he was frustratingly trying to bring him into the ring)

04.10.2009 WWE Heavyweight Title Hell In A Cell: Randy Orton defeats John Cena (c) (21:24) (Randy Orton choked Cena out using the ropes and then used the punt for the win. It was a Hell in a Cell match, though, so it was fair game)

19.10.2009 Triple H defeats John Cena (20:20) (Triple H beats Cena clean via Pedigree, again)

13.09.2010 Tables: Randy Orton defeats John Cena (16:50) (A lot of interference in this match for both sides, but in the end of the match, Cena tried to FU Randy Orton through a table and Randy Orton reversed it into a RKO for the win)

01.04.2012 The Rock defeats John Cena (30:35) (Clean win, you all know the score)

18.11.2012 WWE Heavyweight Title Triple Threat: CM Punk (c) defeats John Cena and Ryback (17:57) (This one is mind boggling. John Cena goes for the FU, Ryback reverses it into the Shellshock and is attacked by The Shield, 50 seconds later, CM Punk pins the still down John Cena for the win)

17.06.2013 WWE Heavyweight Title Three Stages Of Hell: John Cena (c) [2] defeats Ryback [1] (24:30) (Even though John Cena won the match 2-1, he did lose the first fall (a Lumberjack Match) pretty cleanly. He was going for a STF and Ryback reversed into a shellshock for the win.

[Cronant]

I do remember that Big Show one. He just flat out beat him, like there was nothing to it. Of course it was on TV though, not PPV.

[The Portable Stove]

I don't think you can really consider the Cena/Punk/Ryback finish clean... it would've been clean if Ryback pinned Cena and the Shield hadn't run in.

Yeah but The Shield interfering didn't change anything for Cena. He was out regardless. Shield's interference just made sure it was Punk who pinned him and not Ryback.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

He was pinned clean in a Hell No and Cena vs The Shield match.

Sheamus beat him cleanly in a tables match

[Professor Chaos]

Does Cena hold any clean one on one wins over Triple H aside from WM22? I'd find it humorous if Trips won the series 2-1.

There was a weird period in 2008 when he lost clean to Randy Orton at Wrestlemania and Backlash, Triple H at Night Of Champions, JBL at Great American Bash and Batista at Summerslam 2008. I'm trying to think of a time the top babyface ever lost clean more. The Rock during 2000 or so maybe?

What is kind of strange is that he lost clean to probably every other big main event star of the 2005-present era except the guy he had the biggest long term rivalry with in Edge. The closest I can think of to a CLEAN win for Edge was No Way Out 2009 but he had help from Mysterio and Jericho, so some people might put an asterisk next to that one despite it being within the rules of the match.

Pretty sure it was just to make Big Show look good heading into Mania, since otherwise he was basically only part of that match because there was nothing else for him to do.

Edge did beat Cena clean on Raw once. It was by countout.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

If Cena's tag team partner turns on him, but doesn't actually do anything illegal in the match's rules, does that count?

Because I would really love to add Heath Slater to this list.

Cena was flat out, The Shield didn't touch him, and the only difference is the person who actually got the W.

[RowdyRobbyPiper]

Let me get this straight. In the 8 years that Cena has been the top guys, he has been pinned cleanly more times than Hogan did during his 8 year run at the top of the WWF. That is what I am reading when I look at Andrew's post.
