#10 John Cena vs JBL I Quit Match for the WWE Championship - Judgement Day 2005
Cena's big WrestleMania coronation at WrestleMania 21 fell flat. It was a dull and uninspired effort by Cena against the heel 'Wrestling God' JBL. However, Cena probably had the most memorable title defence of all time.
JBL had stolen the original WWE Championship belt design which debuted in 2002 after Cena debuted a new spinner championship.
JBL resented the young up-and-comer's lifestyle compared to his more traditional approach. To teach him a lesson, JBL was to try and reclaim his belt in an I Quit match at Judgement Day 2005.
Cena and JBL went to war. Hatred spilled over in the arena in the form of buckets of blood that were shed by both men. The Cenation Leader bled profusely and fought the match as an underdog. JBL was put through an announce table, but Cena was put through hell.
Chair shots and brutality inflicted on Cena put him over as a resilient and tough wrestler. Cena picked up the win after threatening to pummel JBL with an exhaust pipe, and the celebrated with both belts.
