Cena went after many of the real-world criticisms thrown at Reigns to add a sense of realism to it. Reigns’ retorts to Cena typically featured him calling out his part-time status. Cena delivered this verbal haymaker by comparing his impact as a part-timer to Roman as a full-time star.

9“Big Brock Lesnar, Here Comes The Pain. God Built Me Strong, Forgot To Give Me Brain.”

John Cena’s early rapping gimmick as the Doctor of Thuganomics saw him cutting promos in the form of freestyle raps before his matches. Brock Lesnar was the target of one such rap when the two future legends had one of their first matchups.

Cena referenced the strength of Lesnar by making fun of his supposed lack of intelligence to back up the obvious brawn. Cena did these promos as a heel to get heat before challenging Brock, who was the top face at the time. In a turn of events, though, Cena eventually turned face due to fans loving his one-liners in the raps.

8“He’s Like A Jar Of Mayonnaise With Eye Balls And A Ketchup Haircut.”

Sheamus received a huge push shortly into his main roster run by winning the WWE Championship. John Cena lost the title to Sheamus in a tables match when falling through a table since pin falls didn’t count in this stipulation.

Sheamus’s unique look was mocked by Cena, with comparisons to being as pale as mayonnaise with the ketchup red hair. Fans loved it since Sheamus was so new to WWE and it provided an obvious joke for the first time.

7“You’ve Been Hot For Six Months. I’ve Held This Place Down For About A Decade.”

AJ Styles became one of the top rivals for John Cena later in their careers back in 2016. Cena put over Styles cleanly in an incredible SummerSlam match that officially made AJ Styles one of the top stars for WWE.

The two were heading into a huge rematch for the WWE Championship when having a heated exchange on the microphone. Cena discussed his longevity as a top WWE star for a decade compared to Styles just starting his WWE career.

6“The Chances Of John Cena Losing To Rey Mysterio? That’s Like Big Show At A Buffet Ordering One Cheerio.”

One of the most memorable quotes from John Cena’s stint as a rapper featured him mocking both Rey Mysterio and Big Show. Cena cut the promo before facing the significantly smaller Mysterio during the early years of SmackDown during the brand split.

Big Show’s eating habits were the punchline to showcase how much confidence Cena had in his match against Mysterio. The entertainment value of Cena before matches made him an over star rising up the rankings.

5“Right Now? Two Bonafide WWE Superstars: Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns. One Guy Still Trying To Figure It Out: Dean Ambrose.”

Dean Ambrose provide one of the most intense rivalries for John Cena in recent years. The two feuded with AJ Styles in a triple threat for the WWE Championship during the first year of the 2016 brand split for SmackDown.

Cena lit up Ambrose on Talking Smack by referencing the elephant in the room, in that Ambrose was significantly behind Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in the pecking order after The Shield ended. It was even more awkward with Ambrose’s wife Renee Young hosting the show just a few feet away from Cena.

4“I Don’t Need My Notes For My Promo On My Wrist. Nice Tattoo.”

The Rock caused John Cena to show a more ruthless side on the microphone building their dream match at WrestleMania 27. Both wrestlers broke the fourth wall with some of their insults, leading to legitimately tense moments.

Cena took it to another level when he called out Rock for having his promo lines written on his arm during their battle. Rock looked visibly upset and walked closer to Cena to show his displeasure at the savage comment that almost broke character.

3“That 300-Pound Gorilla You Tote Around Whenever He Wants To Show Up Has No Passion For Anything But Himself.”

Since The Beast would rather talk with his fists, Paul Heyman often was the one cutting the promos for Brock Lesnar during his biggest rivalries over the past eight years. Brock challenged John Cena for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2014 a few months after ending The Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak.

Cena carried the weight of the build, with Lesnar rarely appearing. This specific quote saw Cena referencing the undeniable reality of Brock having no passion for the wrestling industry. It was clearly all for business, though, as Cena recently called Lesnar the best wrestler he’s ever watched.

2“The Only Movies You’re In Are Crappy Bootlegs Of Movies I Already Made.”

Another personal feud for John Cena came in 2017 when he teamed with his then-girlfriend Nikki Bella to face The Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33. All four performers recently previous real-life heat to add to the build.

Cena delivered his best quote of the program when slapping The Miz back to reality for comments about his part-time status. Miz’s attempts at an acting career were placed in a harsh spotlight when Cena mocked him for only getting direct-to-video roles for The Marine and other movies he already made.

1“It’s Called A Promo, Kid. If You Wanna Be The Big Dog, You’re Going To Have To Learn How To Do It.”

The most memorable moment of the John Cena vs Roman Reigns program came when Reigns lost his train of thought and was struggling to come up with a retort. Cena had already made things personal with some brutal shots sent his way, and things were just about to get worse from this point on.

The silence and awkward expression on Reigns’ face led to Cena calling him out in front of the world. It was one of the most intense moments of one wrestler bringing another wrestler’s mistake to the attention of the audience. However, this moment and others led to the match having a strong appeal.
