I consider the top 3 Cena rivalries to be
1. Cena vs. Edge 2. Cena vs. Punk 3. Cena vs. Wade Barrett
I think right now I would AJ Styles vs. Cena as #4 ahead of Cena vs. The Rock but after The Rumble I could see this feud being in the top 3.

I agree with your 1 and 2, but I think AJ has already overtaken the third place spot. Barrett never got to have such a dominant, decisive record over Cena as AJ has. I'd say from the Summerslam moment, where Cena did the "why won't he stay down" post-pin reaction that seems like the very same thing everyone's done for ten years in response to Cena, AJ stole third easily.

Probably behind Punk and Edge.
I was wondering the same thing during their promo tonight. A.J very much feels like the spiritual successor to Punk.

I'm a little torn, they have a ton of promo chemistry and I liked the Money in the Bank match a lot, but the SummerSlam spotfest did nothing for me. Even though there's a lot I like about Cena / Styles kind of hard to say I love it when I dislike 50% of the singles matches they've had.

Easily the top 3, I don't see how Barrett is that high.

Easily the top 3, I don't see how Barrett is that high. Barrett was the first heel in a freaskishly long time to get Cena Universally Cheered and get Universally Booed. Hell he's one of the last people to do it and I think he's certainly the last on a monthly basis. Also Nexus vs. Cena was a damn damn good feud until they had Cena no selling being fired. But at least they ended the feud right away after that.

Well in a bizarro land where he'd win his match at RR, It put him in the top 3 for sure

Solid 3rd already behind Punk & Edge no doubt.
The question is can he break into the Top 2? I doubt it....but it'll be fun to watch.

Best rival since Punk. Doubt he'll be higher than that.

He has easily taken the Third Spot, I HATED the Barrett Rivalry because it was Cena at his dirt worst in terms of putting a new star over, that whole Nexus rivalry left a bad taste in my mouth for the longest time.

Well for starters, my list before AJ was:
1. Cena vs. Edge 2. Cena vs. Punk 3. Cena vs. Rock (when you make as money as these two did together, it's kinda hard to justify not putting him in the top 3, imo)
Right now, AJ is #4. They've done great work but hasn't been going long enough (and I haven't been blown away by any of their matches) to put him in the top 3. He's got the potential to get there though.

Don't think he's top 3 yet.
Edge, Punk, Orton are all higher and right now Id rank Rock and Brock above him, but I'd say he'll be top 4 depending on the Rumble. Barrett's not even top 10.
1. Edge 2. Punk 3. Orton 4. Rock 5. Brock 6. AJ 7. Batista 8. JBL 9. HHH 10. Angle

I'm saying though if they ever let Ambrose and Cena feud, Ambrose would crack #1.

I think the Edge stuff is overrated, honestly Cena/JBL was more entertaining for me.
But Cena/AJ is better than Y2Cheap and Batista forsure. Not as good *yet* as Punk or Rock but only due to AJ's relative newness to the WWE. And the lack of 'Mania bouts.

This is hogan vs flair for me, so it's easily #2 behind his unfortunately most definitive rival Orton.
1. Orton 2. Styles 3. Edge 4. Punk 5. Rock

I hate AJ with a passion (for non-wrestling reasons) but this feud has been great.
You know it's working well when you have a smark favorite going against Cena and the segments are getting non-duelling pro-Cena chants.
They've chosen the perfect feud for Cena's 16th title win.

This stuff is a lot easier to rate in hindsight than as it happens, but it's been going well so far.

Cena's greatest rivalry has been with the fans.
