Now in his record-breaking 17th world championship reign, John Cena can easily make a case that he is the greatest professional wrestler of all time.
While Cena is definitely talented and has earned this status, no pro wrestler reaches the pinnacles of the business without worthy opponents and iconic feuds.

During a recent appearance at Philadelphia Fan Expo, Cena was asked what his top three feuds in his career were.
“I guess our goal as performers are to try and get you guys interested,” Cena said, per Jeremy Lambert of Fightful. “Some of the most interesting ones over the years might have been The Rock, CM Punk, the third one I’ll leave up to the fans.”
After the fan mentioned Randy Orton, Cena quickly replied, “You know what, Randy Orton.”

Given all the excellent feuds he’s been a part of, Cena isn’t wrong with these three choices.
Cena’s feud with The Rock remains one off the most high-profile rivalries in the history of professional wrestling, main eventing two WrestleManias and creating some of the biggest buzz in the industry.
Meanwhile, Cena’s rivalry with CM Punk featured some of the greatest matches in both wrestler’s careers. This includes their incredible match at Money in the Bank 2011 where CM Punk left the stadium with the WWE Championship.
Finally, Cena’s feud with Orton dates back to when they were in Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE’s old developmental system. Because of this, its hard to think of either Superstar without mentioning the other.
While these are three excellent choices for Cena’s greatest rivalries, there are others that truly brought out the best out of him, including Bryan Danielson, AJ Styles, John Bradshaw Layfield, Shawn Michaels, and, of course, Edge.
