07:15Can you believe that power from John Cena?
07:25John Cena has said that WWE is his life, his passion.
07:29It's all that he has.
07:39And he crumbles down in the corner.
07:41Attack right to the back.

07:56John Cena evokes more emotion out of our fans than anybody in WWE history.
08:02You know, I think the entire WWE Universe likes Cena.

08:07He hits the dropkick from an incredible vertical leap.
08:16There's press.
08:17And the fists come raining down.
08:23Look at this.

08:27Targeting the ribs and the lower back.
08:29That just takes all of the power.
