WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reason AJ Styles Should Defeat John Cena
By Dean Siemon
4. WWE Should Book Cena vs Undertaker
It’s been a big discussion point for a few years now. The Undertaker possibly facing John Cena at WrestleMania. The stars haven’t quite aligned perfectly for this kind of feud. Regardless of whether fans think they have this year, it might be the last opportunity. The Undertaker is now 51 years old and there were pictures circulating online of him holding crutches.
The health of the aging Phenom have been a concern among wrestling fans for years. But as time continues, one has to imagine that it’s going to be sooner rather than later. If this is indeed going to be the Undertaker’s final dance in the WWE ring, Cena is really the best opponent for a WrestleMania match.
While many would argue that a younger superstar would benefit more from being in Undertaker’s final match, this isn’t for the undefeated WrestleMania streak. Therefore, there isn’t anything much for an up-and-comer to gain. You can thank Brock Lesnar for ruining that option.
But Cena has a special history with the Deadman. After his “ruthless aggression” debut against Kurt Angle in 2002, Undertaker approached Cena to shake his hand. This could set up a feud where Undertaker said he saw something in Cena nearly 15 years ago. That something was the sense that Cena would be the one to end his WWE career. No championship is needed to make this one a big match.
