8 WWE Superstars Forced to Vacate Their Title 3

3. John Cena — Vacated Due To Injury

                                 

                                                     

John Cena was on top of the world, with one of the longest title reigns in recent history and the longest of his career. It lasted 380 days, from Unforgiven 2006 to October of 2007.

On an episode of RAW, Cena suffered a torn pectoral tendon, which put him out of action for nearly four months. As a result, he was forced to surrender the WWE championship.

It was a shame that it ended the way it did, but it set up a dramatic return at the 2008 Royal Rumble for Cena.

Meanwhile, the vacated championship would be awarded to Randy Orton, who was the no.1 contender for Cena’s title at the time of his injury.
