John Cena controversially snubbed The Undertaker when picking the four best WWE superstars of all-time.

Cena is a 16-time world champion and undoubtedly one of the greatest ever to step inside the ring.

Until he made it in big in Hollywood, Cena was on top as the face of the company for more than a decade and was involved in some of the biggest and best moments in WWE history.

In a recent interview, the 46-year-old was asked to select his Mount Rushmore of WWE legends and humbly refrained from selecting himself.

But he also left out former opponent The Undertaker despite 30 years of his incredible character and a memorable 21-0 WrestleMania streak.

Cena instead went for Hulk Hogan, Attitude Era stars Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, before finishing up with current kingpin and undisputed WWE universal champion Roman Reigns.

'This is just my perspective, and again, we're talking objectivity. So, of course, it's only opinion,' Cena said, speaking to Chris Van Vliet.

"Hulk Hogan would have to be in there. Steve Austin, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, and Roman Reigns.

"Roman has done a fantastic job of taking the business to heights it's never been to before."

Cena signed with WWE in 2001 and debuted on the main roster in 2002. He was full-time until 2018 when his career in movies really took off but has still made sporadic appearances.

Cena competed against Austin Theory at last year's WrestleMania before featuring at premium live events Payback and Crown Jewel - losing to Solo Sikoa in his most recent match.

The Suicide Squad actor's schedule is filled with film commitments for the foreseeable and only last month, Cena admitted that retirement is on the horizon. Speaking on Entertainment Tonight, Cena said: "I'm gonna be 47 this year. I feel great. So inside I feel great, but I know what it takes to be a WWE performer night in and night out, and I don't ever wanna just go out there and do it to do i.

"I wanna have the passion - the same passion as the fanbase - and I wanna give them exactly what they give me. The miles on the speedometer say, 'Hey, that's gotta be done before 50.'"
