Evolving
Wrestling fans can hate on Cena all they want but I have to give him massive credit for the ability to make transitions effortless. Cena can go from being a mid card wrestler carrying the US Title to being a main event player and challenging for gold. Fans often criticize Cena because he has a limited amount of offense. However, you can make that case for the majority of wrestlers as they only have a select few moves.
