You can argue the order, but these are pretty definitively 10 of Cena's best 15 matches no matter how you slice it. Yeah WM22 is laughable above MitB but still. No argument with #1, since when I think "defining John Cena moment" that is the absolute first match that always springs to mind.
Final Cena Losses on the List Counter: 14
