I know how John Cena feuds tend to work. He loses one match, then wins the next two or three. Look at
Rusev and Bray Wyatt as examples. These feuds don't really help talent. They're established... as definitively below Cena. This is a running theme in WWE booking. [Kevin] Owensis... worse off than he would have been if he had never had the second and third matches with Cena.

Earn it".[31][330][332] He has a history of returning from both real and scripted injuries much sooner than expected. ESPN reporter David Shoemaker said in April 2016, "Never underestimate Cena's recuperative abilities. He's somewhere on the recovery scale between German platelet-rich plasma therapy and Deadpool."[333] Fellow wrestler Big Show said he felt most stable being lifted by Cena, despite Cena being over 200 lbs lighter and almost a foot shorter—a testament to Cena's functional strength.[334]

When asked if he had taken steroids he was heard to reply, "I can't tell you that I haven't, but you will never prove that I have".[381] The day after the documentary aired, WWE accused CNN of taking Cena's comments out of context to present a biased point of view, backing up their claim by posting an unedited video of Cena answering the same question – filmed by WWE cameras from another angle – in which he is heard beginning the same statement with "absolutely not".[382] A text interview on the website with Cena later had him saying the news outlet should apologize for misrepresenting him,[383] which CNN refused, saying they felt the true answer to the question began with the phrase "my answer to that question".[384] However, they did edit the documentary on subsequent airings to include the "absolutely not".[384]

Notes
- ^ Cena is tied with Ric Flair for the most recognized world championship reigns by WWE, with Flair having won an additional 14 world championships outside WWE
- ^ Although Ric Flair has won more world championships, several of these reigns are unrecognized by WWE, with the number 16 having been called "WWE mythology".[276]
- ^ Both the WWE Championship and the now defunct World Heavyweight Championship were considered world titles in WWE.
