My Favorite WWE Superstars: #6

My 6th favorite WWE superstar is John Cena. He is probably the most popular current WWE wrestler. In college, he was a division 3 football All-American center. In 2002, after a few years of independent wrestling, John made his WWE debut. Kurt Angle gave an open challenge for a match to everyone in the locker room. John Cena came out, and made his debut. He is also an actor. He was in the popular Fred movies as Fred's imaginary dad. Along with being a popular wrestler and actor, he is a great person. He does a lot of charity work, mostly for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

    • UPW Heavyweight Championship (1 time)[24]

    Summerslam 2013

    On August 18th, I went to the annual Summerslam WWE pay-per-view (The 2nd biggest WWE pay-per-view of the year) at Staples Center. My two favorite wrestlers are Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton. Dolph Ziggler was scheduled to wrestle, but Randy Orton wasn't. I was sad about that. Correction: I was sad about that until the end of the night. The last match was Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship. Daniel Bryan defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship. Then, Randy Orton came out. Randy Orton was going to cash in his Money in the Bank contract (a contract where you can get a championship match whenever you want to), but then he turned around. Triple H then gave Daniel Bryan his finisher, and Randy Orton cashed in his contract. He pinned Daniel Bryan, and the night ended with him holding up the WWE Championship. Then, we saw someone selling Randy Orton's autograph! I got it!

    Here are the results for Summerslam:
