These are the WWE wrestlers who won a title on their first try. Part 3. In January 2007, John Cena had his first shot at the World Tag Titles, teaming up with Shawn Michaels against Edge and Randy Orton. Michaels countered the RKO, tagged in Cena, who then hit Randy with the FU to win the titles. At Bragging Rights 2010, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre defended the WWE Tag Titles against David Otunga and Cena, which was his first shot. Cody went for the Cross Rhodes, Cena countered him, caught him with the STF and tapped him out to win the titles. Hey guys, Maven’s first shot at the Hardcore Title here, when he faced The Undertaker in February 2002. Maven was about to pass out, The Rock appeared with a chair and hit Taker with it. The Rock hit Taker with the Rock Bottom and Maven pinned him to win the title. At NXT Takeover Portland 2020, Matt Riddle teamed up with Pete Dunne against Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly for his first shot at the NXT Tag Titles. Riddle took out Fish, they double teamed Kyle and kicked him in the head. Then they double teamed Fish to win the titles.
