Mic Skills
Both these guys are both very confident and competent on the mic. Cena's earlier stuff was really quite great, but he has gone off and become boring. His promos almost literally consist exclusively of some kind of action hero cliche, or a bad joke.
Edge's promos are often missing something, but he hits the mark far more often than not, and he can hold interest and build with his promos. Cena passes the time at best. If you go back over Edge's career, too, his stuff with Christian easily out-awesomes anything great John Cena did.
Winner: Edge
Ability to Play Face/Heel
Let's see: John Cena cannot get a crowd to cheer him when he is meant to. Edge could, with a brief rusty period where he faltered in 2005. When Edge is playing a heel, he is booed out of arenas; when Cena is playing a heel, he is cheered. Yeah, Cena was awesome as a heel, but he didn't really do his job.
Winner: Edge
Ring Work
John Cena is actually a good wrestler. Anyone who denies that is just being ignorant. That being said, Edge is just so much better. If not only in pure talent, but in the way he gets to work. Cena very rarely is allowed to have a classic match. I'm just trying to think of some classics he's had, and the best I can come up with is his marathon with Shawn Michaels.
Winner: Edge
Accomplishments
Edge has won every single championship in the WWE save one. Yeah, he wins this one.
Winner: Edge
A clean sweep for Edge, in my opinion. So, my vote would go to him deserving to retain the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. Maybe a double-turn would do both men some good, though.
