JOHN CENA
Recent eBay Sales
John Cena challenges for the WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing match against Alberto Del Rio at Vengeance, October 23, 2011, inside the AT&T Center in San Antonio -- the longest bout on that card at 26:59, ending when Cena couldn't beat referee's ten-count and Del Rio walked out still champion. Mattel's Elite 17 sculpt puts him back in the jean shorts and arm bands he wore into that fight, a straightforward 2012 read on Cena's baseline franchise-face gear rather than a flashier variant.
