Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I hoki mai a Cena hei kaiuru whakamutunga o te Royal Rumble, i wikitoria ai, me te taitara taitara WrestleMania XXIV tuku iho, ma te whakakore i a Triple H. Engari ki te tatari tae noa ki te WrestleMania, i utua te taitara taitara ki a WWE Champion Randy Orton i te 2008 No Way Out i roto i te tukinga i wikitoria e Cena ma te whakakore, na reira, kaore i whakawhiwhia ki te taitara. I te po i muri mai i runga i te "Raw", i whakauruhia a Cena ki te whakataetae WWE Championship o WrestleMania e patu ana i a Orton i roto i te tukinga kore-taitara me Triple H hei kaiwhakawa manuhiri motuhake, na reira he tukinga whakawehi tuatoru i waenga i nga tangata tokotoru, i te wa i whakaekehia ai ia e Orton. I Backlash, kaore i taea e Cena te whakahoki mai i te taitara i roto i te tukinga whakamate e wha-ara, i whakakorea ai ia e Orton. I taua tukinga, i whakakorea e Cena a JBL, ka whakahou i to raatau riri mai i te 2005. I hinga a Cena i a JBL i te
Te Rā Whakatau, kātahi ki One Night Stand i te whakataetae Toto Tuatahi. Kaore ano a Cena i riro i te WWE Championship mai i a Triple H i te Po o nga Toa. I muri mai, i hinga a JBL i a Cena i te New York City Parking Lot Brawl i te The Great American Bash i te Hurae ki te whakamutu i te riri. I te wahanga o Akuhata 4 o "Raw", ka riro a Cena hei Toa Toa Toa o te Ao mo te wa tuarua, ka mahi tahi me Batista ki te patu i a Cody Rhodes me Ted DiBiase engari kaore i taea te pupuri i te toa i te wiki e whai ake nei ki nga toa o mua. I hinga a Cena ki a Batista i SummerSlam. I muri tata mai, i whakaingoatia a Cena hei tetahi o nga kaitono e wha mo te CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship i te whakataetae Championship Scramble i te Unforgiven, engari i whakakapihia ia e Rey Mysterio i muri i te mamae o te kopu kopu i tona kaki i tana tukinga i SummerSlam, i hiahiatia he pokanga. I angitu a Cena i te pokanga ki te whakatika i te whara.
