The WWE Universe will roar the names of certain Superstars till the end of eternity. They’re legendary, evergreen, and names that straight-up rule the ring. One such name is John Cena. Every wrestling fan, regardless of their location or the company they support, respects the Cenation leader.

Therefore, when another Superstar claims that Cena doesn’t stand a chance against him, it immediately stirs up rumors of jealousy. Well, that’s exactly what Ryback said when he was asked his opinions on Cena. To be honest, a simple yes or no would have sufficed, but he took it a step too far.

According to Ryback, even though Cena has some good qualities, he suffers from insecurities. Furthermore, he claimed that if put on the same level at the same time, Cena doesn’t stand a chance against him. Now, that’s dreaming big!

There are certain aspects based on which fans decide how good a pro-wrestler is. This works across all companies be it WWE, AEW, or even IMPACT. Some of these factors are charm, performance, promos, entrances, and achievements.

There is no doubt that John Cena has a much better presence in the wrestling universe when compared to Ryback. Moreover, the fans know there is no comparison between the two when it comes to charisma.

Nevertheless, every individual is entitled to their own opinion. Thus, some might believe that Ryback is better than Cena in terms of appeal.

On the other hand, Ryback’s list is also impressive but doesn’t come close to matching Cena. He won the Ohio Valley Wrestling Heavyweight Championship once, the RRW World Championship once, HLW Heavy Weight Championship once, and the WWE Intercontinental Championship once.

The statistics speak for themselves and as per the comments section under his own post, Ryback’s verdict doesn’t stand.
