The debate around John Cena has been around for as long as he's been a wrestler. For the most part, Cena has a rightful claim to the title of "Greatest of all Time", even if he might not outright admit it. He has unparalleled accomplishments both in and out of the wrestling ring.
However, the question is no longer a matter of personal fandom or merely opinion; the sentiment is endorsed by WWE.
John Cena, the 16-Time World Champion in WWE, has had a Hall of Fame-worthy career that has been a subject of fan contention, especially when measured against legends like Ric Flair, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and The Rock. He is tied with Ric Flair for the most World Championship victories. However, an essential distinction is that all of Cena's title wins occurred solely within WWE. If Cena continues on his trajectory, he might even surpass Flair's record.
His journey in WWE hasn't been all smooth sailing. It's somewhat ironic to consider Cena as one of the all-time greats, especially recalling the polarized fan reactions during his full-time wrestling tenure. Fans, in their passion, had a love-hate relationship with him. But this didn't deter Cena from carving out a legacy.
