at WrestleMania 21. After the Elimination Chamber at New Year's Revolution 2006, he cashed in his Money in the Bank clause to face John Cena and speared his way to his first WWE Championship. Since then sports entertainment's quintessential opportunist hasn't looked back.
Throughout his awesome career he's suffered a torn ACL, a torn Achilles tendon, ruptured labra, a broken neck, a fractured skull, and countless stitches. After over a decade in World Wrestling Entertainment, the "Rated-R Superstar" has become recognized as one of the most detested and decorated figures. He has proven over and over again that he will go to any lengths to achieve what he wants, when he wants. He is one of the most talented, ruthless, and resilient competitors WWE has ever known.
