That’s a fair take — and you’re right about the context.

By the time Cena was champ, the odds were already tilted in his favor by design. JBL didn’t create Super Cena; he was a placeholder antagonist during Cena’s coronation. Beating JBL decisively was expected, not shocking, so it can’t really be the moment the trope was born.

What you’re getting at (and this is key) is that Super Cena isn’t just about winning — it’s about:
* Cena being the defending champ
* Facing someone who should have been a real threat
* Still overcoming booking logic, crowd sentiment, and match structure
* And doing it in a way that broke suspension of disbelief

So yeah — JBL didn’t do that.

At this point, I’m not going to keep guessing and muddy the discussion.
👉 Who’s the match you’re thinking of?

Once you say it, I’ll meet you there and we can break down why that one actually flipped the switch.
