vs. Brock Lesnar @ Extreme Rules
vs. Rob Van Dam @ One Night Stand
Both matches had this unique atmosphere that I really like'd.

The HBK match in London in 2007 that went an hour or just under an hour whatever it was has to be my favourite really. Best live match I’ve seen.
CM Punk at MITB & the Styles match at Summerslam have to be up there also.

Loved that one he had with Umaga at the Rumble '07. The ring looked like a warzone afterwards, & there were some great calls by JR ("even a monster's got to breath!")

AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble, gotta give him his due the way he reacted when AJ kicked out towards the end just before AJ won, it was a really fun match anyway but that was the icing on the cake for me personally, so I'll go with that.

The July 2015 match he had with Cesaro is insane.
Others high up for me would be the HBK match in London, Batista at WM26, vs. Punk in 2013, all Cena/AJ Styles matches, Sami Zayn, Neville/PAC, the I Quit with Orton, Umaga at the Royal Rumble, and the 2012 Brock fight at Extreme Rules.

It's not my favorite, exactly, but his matches with Umaga and Great Khali were so much better than they had any right to be, and I want to point them out for that reason.
That isn't to say Umaga couldn't have a good match, obviously, but they could be kind of routine. Khali would get better later with the vice grip at least broadening his movepool, but at this stage, Khali was so limited.
John Cena played expertly off of those two. I know it was the tried and true Hogan formula, but he meshed fantastically with them.

Cena vs. RVD-One Night Stand 2006-He knew how the ECW fans would receive him and he leaned into it, didn't bitch or complain and did very well for himself with RVD.
Cena vs. Umaga-Royal Rumble 2007-I remember not looking forward to this match as the "SuperCena" gimmick was in full swing here but both guys told a great story and made Umaga look like a monster at the end.
Royal Rumble 2008 Match-I was just shocked that he came back so quickly from that injury and got the crowd at MSG to pop even if it was a short while for his return.
Cena vs. Orton-Bragging Rights 2009 Iron Man Match-really enjoyed this one as they definitely went outside the box with Randy trying to blow up Cena but I found it very entertaining.
Cena vs. HBK vs. HHH-Survivor Series 2009, great way to start the match showing that there are no friends when it comes to the WWE title and enjoyed the near falls and hope spots.
Cena vs. CM Punk-MITB 2011, I know Punk felt that he never got his WM moment but this was like a Wrestlemania show to me as the tension was there and glad Punk got the win.
Cena vs. Brock Lesnar-Extreme Rules 2012-I found myself rooting for Cena in this one as Brock was out for blood and got most of Cena's all over him.

Cena vs. Lashley doesn't get enough love. In his whole title run up to that point, he never met a babyface as dominant as him. This really felt like a big match and I thought Lashley was going to go over. A shame he got hurt and then left. That theme song from Bob was amazing.

Vs. JBL (I Quit Match): Judgment Day 2005. Forgot about that one. Say what you will about John Layfield, as JBL he could cut good heel promos and brawl. Him and Cena basically had a W*ING main event that night. |

VS CM Punk on Raw (Not sure the date, but it was to determine who would face The Rock at WM). Their MITB match always get praise (and for good reason), but this match was a perfect way to end their rivalry. They pulled out all the stops in this, digging deep into their arsenal to put each other away. Seriously, listen to the reaction the piledriver got.
It's crazy to think they could have had this match at WM, but they had to do a repeat of the previous years snorefest with The Rock.

I can easily say it was one of the best matches of either man's career. |
