As he has proven time and again in his 15 years in WWE, John Cena is as dangerous with a microphone as he is between the ropes. Here are his ten best verbal smackdowns.

He's being billed as a 'free agent' despite being drafted by Smackdown last year, meaning he may be able to transfer to RAW or pick his next opponent from the entire WWE roster.

Cena's expected to take a starring role at SummerSlam in August, so it'll be interesting to see whether he targets a rival tonight.
