His promos against the Rock were really impressive. He ran circles around him, to be honest.
Promo against AJ Styles before they fought at Wrestlemania.
His promo in 2006 was where he ran down HBK, Carlito, and a few others. Was his final rap promo of the rapper gimmick.

Any of the promos when the crowd started out booing him then were cheering by the end. It must be difficult to sell people something they don't want to buy but he had the skill to pull it off. I think he was so good at it that WWE took the wrong lesson from it though and assumed it was easy and anyone (namely Roman Reigns) could do it. Roman though as much as I like him isn't on Cena's level as a talent, not now and especially not during his babyface run.
There were a few with Rock around 2011-12 when the crowd was 90% pro-Rock and anti-Cena then Cena would cut a promo and by the end it had become like 80% for Cena and 20% for Rock.
There was one in Chicago not long after CM Punk left where fans were just chanting for Punk and determined to hijack the segment but Cena acknowledged his history with Punk, let them have their fun then moved on to whatever he was supposed to be doing and had them eating out of the palm of his hand.

The old school RAW promo before Survivor Series where he was forced to be the ref for Orton vs. Wade. The “I never won the world title” Piper’s Pit? That was a great segment but I remember it more for Hot Rod’s amazing speech than anything Cena said.

I personally liked this one: You could argue this is Cena’s best promo. When he says the real change Punk wages was to be a bigger deal, he’s right both in and out of storyline. I’ll also second the AJ Styles stuff, and Rock was funny but Cena had more salient points to make, Peacemaker or no Peacemaker.

I know people hate the burial style or the comedic style, but when it comes to good ones, which one were your favorites? I personally liked this one: Wow, Punk was one funny face away from being Karrion Kross there.

There's a promo on Raw after Survivor Series 2008 which had that fake Jeff Hardy hotel and absence debacle leading to the poorly received Triple H-Kozlov match until an unrecognizable Edge returned that really soured people on WWE.
Cena' promo wasn't so much important storyline-wise of character-wise, but was one of those pep rally "Thank you for watching" promos that actually legitimately worked really, really well and made people appreciate at the moment being a WWE fan.

That was the one where he came through the crowd after Jericho became #1 contender, I believe. “Well, I like this place!” Then Y2J calls him a worm and John lays him out. I love that segment.

Some people loved this promo. I still go back and watch it sometimes. Roman’s come a long way, and I wonder if getting murdered like this was part of that.
