Debut (2002- 04)

AT
Cena made his television debut answering an open challenge by Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002. Inspired by a speech given by WWE Chairman Vince Macmahon to the rising stars of the company, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a place among the legends, Cena took advantage of the opportunity to face Angle. Cena managed to counter the Angle Slam with an ankle-lock submission hold, but ultimately lost to a hard amateur wrestling style pin. Following the near-win, Cena became fan's favourite and started feuding with Chris Jericho, defeating Jericho at Vengence. In October, Cena and Billy Kidman took part in a Tag Team tournament to crown the first WWE Tag Team Champions of the Smackdown brand, losing in the first round.

John Cena as United States Champion-1-
In early 2004, Cena participated in the Royal Rumble match at the 2004 Royal Rumble ,making it to the final six before being eliminated by Big Show and the Match being won by Chris Benoit. The Royal Rumble elimination led to a feud with Big Show, which Cena won the United States Champion from Big Show at WrestleMania XX. During his reign, Cena came into contention with SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle over issues arising with Rene Dupree and Torrie Wilson. The reign ended almost four months later, when he was stripped of the belt on July 8 by Angle after he accidentally knocked him over, thus attacking an official. Cena won the championship back defeating Booker T in a best of five series that culminated at No Mercy, only to lose it to the debuting Carlito the next week. After the loss to Carlito, the duo began a feud, which Cena was stabbed in the kidney while at a Boston-area nightclub by Carlito's bodyguard, Jesus. This work injury was used to keep Cena out of action for a month, while Cena was filming The Marine. Immediately on his return in November, Cena won the United States Championship back from Carlito debuting a "custom made" spinner-style championship belt

After Night of Champions in Sep 16th, in Sep 18, John Cena had broken bone chips in his elbow, his recovery will take 2 months or 6 weeks.
