WWE superstar John Cena touched immortality on Sunday when he defeated Cody Rhodes to claim the undisputed WWE Championship for the 17th time in his illustrious career. Cena accomplished the feat at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 41. Becoming a World Champion for the 17th time is an unprecedented mark, and the WWE Universe waited an eternity to witness the champ rising to the pinnacle again. He was tied with Ric Flair at 16 for a considerable period.
John Cena Has Won 26 Titles in WWE
Having stayed in WWE for over two decades, John Cena has always remained in the title scene. His stature grew from the United States Championship to the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship. He has incessantly reigned as a tag team champion as well with different partners. To put further light on his glory, the leader of Cenation is a two-time Royal Rumble winner and has won the Elimination Chamber match four times in his career. But has he won everything inside the squared circle of the WWE? Is John Cena a Grand Slam Champion? Surprisingly, the answer to that is no.
One Mainstream Championship Missing from John Cena's Cabinet
The 17-time World Champion has remained elusive of one championship in his career in the WWE. Till now he has held 26 titles in his long WWE stint- 17 times World Champion, 5 times US Title winner, and he is a 4-time Tag Team Champion. An ardent follower of WWE and John Cena might have guessed the championship which is missing from his eminent cabinet. Yes! John Cena has never raised the Intercontinental Title in his career.
While he is on his farewell tour, there is still some time left before John Cena hangs up his boots. He has achieved the biggest feat, which may remain his forever, but can he divert his attention to the Intercontinental title as well and finish his career having lifted all the possible titles? Unlikely right?
Nevertheless, John Cena will go down as arguably the Greatest of All Time, and a remarkable figure of WWE's Then, Now, and Forever.
