John Cena has competed in countless matches under the bright lights of the main event, but that does not mean he always flourishes under their harsh glow. Although his in-ring effort and out-of-ring commercial appeal have never been in question, Cena’s history of getting the job done in crunch time is uneven.

From his war of attrition with Booker T, to his many trips into enemy territory (ECW and the Hammerstein Ballroom, anybody?), to his main event clashes on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Cena has spent plenty of time in the pressure cooker.
