- Many WWE fans would include John Cena in the conversation for the greatest of all time
- But the 46-year-old star has only included four names on his WWE list of GOATs
- The Undertaker was another top athlete who was dropped from Cena’s distinguished list
John Cena has named the four wrestlers he considers the GOATS of WWE, leaving himself and The Undertaker off his distinguished list.
Several fans would put Cena at the forefront of WWE’s biggest conversation of all time, but the 16-time world champion believes there are four stars more deserving of the title.
Cena, 46, who in January revealed his plans to retire from WWE before he turns 50, was asked to name his GOAT during an interview with Chris van Vliet this week.
“This is just my perspective, and again, we’re talking about objectivity. So of course it’s just an opinion,” the WWE superstar said.
“Hulk Hogan should be in there. Steve Austin, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson and Roman Reigns.

“Roman has done a fantastic job taking the company to unprecedented heights.”
Placing Reigns, 38, in the company of three historic superstars is a testament to the wrestler’s sensational career in the WWE.
The American is the current and longest reigning WWE Universal Champion and also holds the WWE Champion title for the fourth time.
The Undertaker is perhaps a surprising exclusion from Cena’s illustrious list, given the longevity of his iconic career.
While he may not have the same accolades in terms of titles and titles, The Undertaker will always be remembered for his historic WrestleMania winning streak of 8,415 days, during which he was victorious in 21 consecutive matches.

Fans are hopeful that Cena, who hasn’t fought in the WWE ring since Crown Jewel in November 2023, will appear at WrestleMania 40 in April.
However, the veteran’s inclusion will largely depend on his acting schedule, with Cena set to begin filming for the second season of Peacemaker very soon.
