John Cena was introduced as the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) at WWE Payback, Is Cena a Goat?

Cena has always been a real face in WWE.

John Cena returned to WWE on the September 1 episode of SmackDown and introduced himself as the special guest host of Payback. After pursuing a career in Hollywood, Cena became a part timer and had one or two appearances a year and rarely had a match. But this time things seem to be different, instead of appearing for one or two occasions, Cena is scheduled to appear consistently for the next few months on SmackDown. He hosted the Payback live event, was a referee for a match and as a backstage anchor. Before he was introduced as the host, Mike Rome boldly mentioned Cena as the "Greatest of All Time".

Is John Cena GOAT?

Yes, it is undeniable that Cena is the greatest of all time. He is the greatest asset of professional wrestling and is the most popular professional wrestler. If you disagree with this, here are some of the reasons why Cena is the GOAT.

16 Time World Champion

Cena has the highest number of world championship wins in WWE with a 16 championship reign. He is one amongst the two to achieve this monumental landmark equalling Ric Flair. He is a 13 time WWE Champion and a 3 time World Heavyweight Champion. 

Face of WWE

John Cena is the default face of the company and has carried the wrestling promotion on his shoulders for over a decade, when all other big wrestlers left the company. He turned non-wrestling fans to watch WWE and positioned the company globally. With his charismatic personality, great in-ring talent and incredible microphone skills he pulled the attention towards wrestling.

Real life Hero

John Cena is a real life hero, who has been involved in various social works. He is one of the best human beings beyond wrestling. Cena has fulfilled the wishes of many children who are suffering from life threatening illness through association with "Make-A-Wish" foundation. He has been associated with the foundation since 2002 and has fulfilled more than 650 wishes so far. He is also involved in many other philanthropic works that support the needy and create awareness among people about critical illness.

Greatest matches & feuds

Cena has been involved in some of the greatest matches and feuds in WWE history. His feud with Randy Orton, The Rock, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Undertaker, Batista, Umaga and many others were always iconic. He has defeated almost all the greats of his generation.

Hustle, Loyalty, Respect

From wrestlers leaving the company after a Hollywood career, Cena manages to return to the company whenever he gets the time. He appears for matches, backstage interviews, microphone segments and in so many ways. Whatever he does, he gives his best for the fans and for the company. He is one of the few wrestlers, who is loyal to his fans and the company, always hustles to give his best, and earns respect among fans and co-wrestlers.

You may or may not be a fan of Cena, but you cannot deny the fact, that Cena is the greatest of all time.
