John Cena has faced plenty of big names over his illustrious career. He's beaten them before, after and while they were champions. In fact, every single World Champion that John Cena has faced off against has fallen to the Champ. Sure, Cena has lost plenty of matches too, but at the end of the day, he's beaten those guys at least once.
Here's a definitive list of every World Champion John Cena has beaten:
Now, there are also 11 Champions who have been with WWE at the same time as John Cena, but for some reason, they were never booked against each other. Those are: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Goldberg, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, Justin Credible, Ezekiel Jackson & Matt Hardy. John got to pin Foley in a 5-way-match though, but I'm only counting singles victories here.
There's one man that doesn't appear on any of those lists. And that's the one guy who's been able to escape a singles loss to John Cena.:
Cena has beaten him in 3-ways and tag team matches, but Cena has never been able to beat him 1-on-1. The only time they faced off, it ended in a No Contest due to some shenanigans with Alberto and Punk at ringside. That means that when Christian officially retires, he'll be the only World Champion in WWE history to have faced off against John Cena and not lose. That's a pretty big deal all things considered.
So to answer the question from the title: Who's left? Well, anyone who debuts on Raw for the first time is automatically a new opponent for Cena. So I guess we can get excited for some match-ups with Bo Dallas and Adam Rose, but those matches won't be "big" unless these guys get some notoriety first. We already know that the only World Champion Cena hasn't beaten is Christian, but there are also other decorated champions that have yet to lose to John Cena.
Here's a list of every MitB/Tag/IC/US/CW champ that John has beaten in 1-on-1 bouts:
Of course, there have been plenty of guys who have avoided squaring off against John Cena. It's a pretty sizable list, but here are the ones that were on the roster as the same time with John Cena, but disappeared without ever facing off: Animal, Bubba Ray, Bull Buchanan, Charlie Haas, Chuck Palumbo, Curt Hawkins, Danny Basham, David Hart Smith, Deuce, Domino, Doug Basham, Drew McIntyre, Eugene, Evan Bourne, Gregory Helms, Heidenreich, Jamie Noble, Joey Mercury, Johnny, Juventud, Kid Kash, Lance Storm, Micky, Mitch, Montel Vontavious Porter, Paul London, Road Dogg, Rob Conway, Rosey, Scotty 2 Hotty, Sylvain Greneir, Tajiri, Trevor Murdoch, Val Venis & Vladimir Kozlov.
With them out of the way, now it's time to focus on the guys that are left for John Cena to beat. The decorated champions that are still on the main roster and have yet to lose to John Cena: Big E, Dean Ambrose, Diego, Fernando, Goldust, Hornswoggle, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kofi Kingston, Roman Reigns, Tyson Kidd & William Regal.
You might have noticed that there's one guy who hasn't been mentioned...
That's because Curtis Axel is undefeated 2-0 against John Cena!! Cena has beaten him in handicap matches and tag matches, but when it comes to 1-on-1, Curtis Axel has beaten John via DQ and Count Out, making him the only guy on the main roster to have baten John Cena and never lost!
That distinction is only shared by two other guys: Billy Gunn and D-Von Dudley. All 3 will be able to boast about how they've beaten John 1-on-1 and never gave their heat back.
So while we can all picture Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose as possible milestones for John to take down, I think it's Curtis Axel and Christian who John should be setting his sights on.
I Fresh matchups against Sin Cara, Fandango and Rusev are fine, but they're not going to improve Cena's personal record. Once he beats Axel and Christian, he would have beaten anybody who is anybody in WWE.
Side-note: Although a pinfall/submission victory over Sheamus would also be nice, considering both his wins have been via DQ.
