5 best John Cena returns to WWE
In early 2002, a new Superstar emerged on SmackDown Live.
Answering Kurt Angle's open challenge, this new rookie aimed to define 'Ruthless Aggression', and despite coming up short against the Olympian, certainly proved himself.
That young nobody, of course, was John Cena.
Since then, Cena's rise to the top of the WWE has been meteoric, winning an astonishing 16 World Championships, and branching out into other projects such as TV and movies.
In fact, due to his branching out (as well as some injuries thrown in there), there have been times where Cena has been absent, and whilst fans often criticise the alleged master of the '5 Moves of Doom', his returns are always shocking, impressive and entertaining.
Here are the five top returns of John Cena, that rocked the WWE Universe.
#5 Survivor Series 2008
After getting injured at SummerSlam 2008, John Cena needed some time off.
In his absence, RAW was left without a top face, after the villainous Chris Jericho had won the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven.
And although the likes of Batista and Shawn Michaels gave entertaining matches, fans couldn't help but notice the John Cena sized hole in the roster.
Returning at Survivor Series 2008, Cena was immediately granted a World title match, which understandably annoyed a lot of the fans.
So they probably were just as equally annoyed when Cena won the title on his first night back, his first reign as World Heavyweight Champion.
Holding the title until February the next year, Cena retained against the likes of Jericho and JBL, proving that no injury can hold back the Doctor of Thuganomics.
