Why did John Cena refuse to lose the WWE title to this wrestler?

John Cena is one of the most recognizable wrestlers in the world and is a household name for fans, both young and old. He is almost universally loved by the fans now that he is away from the wrestling ring and people are seeing how crucial he was to the business for the last two decades.

A lot of wrestlers have immense respect for Cena and even he does too but there was a time when Cena refused to lose his WWE title to a certain wrestler and that wrestler was Jack Swagger. Swagger won the Money in the Bank match in 2010 and had the opportunity to cash in his contract against either John Cena who was the WWE champion or Chris Jericho, who was the world champion.

One night after winning the briefcase, Swagger performed a sneak attack on Cena on Raw and attempted to cash in his contract but Cena would come back up and that meant that Swagger was unsuccessful. Swagger then went on to cash in his contract on Chris Jericho to become the World Heavyweight Champion.

Years later, Swagger shared what had happened and revealed that John Cena refused to lose the title to him as was evidenced when the two wrestlers came face to face in the same ring with Cena saying, “You’re not championship material.”

While the reason why Cena thought like this is not known, it can be assumed that it was because Swagger was a bit clumsy in the ring and was not the finished product at the time.
