Starting in mid-2004, big bucks heel John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) came out of practically nowhere to keep an iron grip on the WWE Championship for over nine months. Finally, John Cena emerged as the conquering hero atWrestleMania 21, taking down JBL and ending his reign of terror. This would officially kick off Cena's time at the top of WWE.
Edge memorably took the WWE Championship from Cena at New Year's Revolution 2006, becoming the first man to cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase for an instant title shot after Cena had just survived the Elimination Chamber. Cena took the title back only a few weeks later at Royal Rumble, in a decision many fans hated, as Edge's first reign had ...
By this point in his career, Cena's honeymoon period had ended, and half the crowd - mostly men - had turned on his clean-cut good guy act.

Cena would next recapture the WWE Championship at Breaking Point from another long-term rival, Randy Orton. The pair would trade the title back and forth over the fall of 2009, and this particular title change would occur as part of an I Quit match. Orton had won the title in June after it was relinquished by an injured Batista (Dave Bautista).
Cena's next WWE Championship win came at Bragging Rights in October 2009, after losing the title to Orton earlier that month at Hell in a Cell. Cena effectively ended their feud, at least for the time being, by triumphing in a 60-minute, no-rules Iron Man Match. While the pair did have some good matches, WWE's attempts to push Cena vs. Orton as the...
Thankfully for Cena, Batista's reign was short-lived, as he was about to take his first extended break from WWE and try to make it in Hollywood, in a move that would eventually see him play Drax in the MCU. Cena and Batista clashed at WrestleMania 26, with Cena coming out on top, resulting in him picking up his third world title win at a WrestleMan...
Before The Miz was a popular fan casting for Johnny Cage in the Mortal Kombat sequel, he cashed in Money in the Bank on Randy Orton in 2010 to pick up his first WWE Championship. This came after Cena had dropped the belt to Sheamus in June, and Sheamus dropped it to Orton in September. Miz held the gold for 160 days, even retaining against Cena at ...
After taking the WWE Championship from The Miz, Cena was feuding with an exceedingly popular CM Punk, with the two battling for the title at Money in the Bank.
