5 Dream matches for John Cena before he retires 

John Cena is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. His stay at the top of the company can only be compared to that of Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino. The 16-time World Champion has been the face of the WWE for more than a decade now. But as they say, all good things must come to end and Cena's time as the company's top star is nearing its end with Roman Reigns being propped up as the successor to Cena.

With Cena now moving on to a part-time role and slowly transitioning into a full-time acting career, his days in the WWE are numbered and even the Cenation Leader has alluded to the fact that he won't be wrestling for long.

Over the years, Cena has been the true exemplification of loyalty to one's company. In spite of his various Hollywood commitments, Big Match John has always found time to get back to the ring and has promoted the WWE on every platform he has ever been in.

While we are fully aware of the fact that the man might never leave the WWE and compete for any other wrestling promotion, some of the matches in this list could happen if the other superstar involved in this equation decides to join Vince McMahon & Co.

#5 John Cena Vs Pentagon Jr.

Pentagon Jr(L) and John Cena(R)

Pentagon Jr. Pentagon is one of the top Latin American stars in the business. The former Lucha Underground and Impact World Champion has been a major factor in the recent resurgence of Impact Wrestling. This matches against Austin Aries and Sami Callihan have received unanimous praise from both fans and critics.

With rumors of WWE looking to sign the Mexican Sensation surfacing recently, the odds of this match happening are quite strong if Pentagon does decide to sign with the WWE. He could call Cena out in his first match much like what Kevin Owens did.

With Paul Heyman being free of potentially being freed of his advocating duties after SummerSlam, he could serve as the advocate for Pentagon Jr. And throw a challenge to Cena.

The promos between Heyman and Cena alone will be worth the buck. Given how incredibly talented Pentagon is and Cena's recent track record of putting excellent matches against credible opponents, this one promises to be one heck of a match.

#4 John Cena Vs Zack Sabre Jr.

ZSJ Vs John Cena will be an instant classic

When Zack Sabre Jr. was announced as a participant in the inaugural Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, many thought that the Brit will eventually sign with the company. But Sabre Jr. decided not to sign with the WWE and lost in the semifinals to Gran Metalik. He was one of the standout performers of the tournament.

ZSJ signed with New Japan last year and has gone on a tear ever since. He has made some of the top stars of the company tap out to his array of submission moves. The Kent-native is considered to be the best technical wrestler in the world today and one can't deny that given the fact that he has made stars like Hiroshi Tanahashi and Tetsuya Naito submit.

This match will be a battle of endurance and technical prowess. ZSJ's mat style of wrestling and Cena's orthodox style is a match made in heaven. This match will be along the lines of the great SummerSlam match between Cena and Daniel Bryan from SummerSlam a few years ago as ZSJ is considered to be an heir apparent of the American Dragon. This will no doubt be a technical masterpiece.

#3 Kazuchika Okada

Kazuchika Okada and John Cena's career are a mirror image of one another. Both of them were young upstarts in the business who nobody gave a chance to in the beginning but they eventually went on to become the cornerstone of their respective promotion. They have been on top of the mountain for a long time and have broken and created numerous records along the way.

Okada is one of the best wrestlers on the planet who can put on a classic with any superstar on any given day. Case in point being his legendary matches against the likes of Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tetsuya Naito and most importantly Kenny Omega. His feud with Omega is considered one of the best in wrestling history. Cena has had some of the most intense rivalries in the WWE against Superstars like Edge, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles and CM Punk. His feud with Punk is undoubtedly the greatest WWE feud of this decade.

While the possibility of this match happening is very slim given the booking torture Okada had to endure during his run with TNA/Impact Wrestling, one can never say never. Okada Vs Cena is a dream match for ages which will enthrall fans and keep them on the edge of their seats as both these men are masters of quick counters and false finishes.

#2 Kenny Omega

This is an eagerly awaited Dream match

Can any dream match list in current times be complete without including the Best Bout Machine? The answer is an astounding NO. Kenny Omega has taken over the entire wrestling world by putting on classic matches with almost everyone he has faced this year. Omega made history by becoming the first Canadian Wrestler to ever win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship by defeating Kazuchika Okada in what many are calling the greatest match of all time.

Kenny Omega has been linked to WWE ever since his contract expired with New Japan last year but the Bullet Club Leader has somehow resisted the temptation of moving on to the other side of the Pacific and has stayed put in the land of the rising sun.

With rumors of the WWE interested in signing Omega and The Young Bucks once their contracts expire early next year surfacing for the past few months, Omega moving to the WWE might become a reality by WrestleMania next year.

A match of this caliber deserves a stage like WrestleMania and like Ronda Rousey before him, Omega deserves to have his debut match at a stage like WrestleMania. The icing on the cake will be him facing one of the greatest of all time in John Cena. This one could end up being one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time.

#1 Hiroshi Tanahashi

The Ace Vs The Face that Runs the place is a match that writes itself

Were you expecting anything else? Tanahashi and Cena are perhaps two of the most influential Superstars of this generation. They are the top faces of their respective promotions and are the very definition of what a professional wrestler should be in the 21st Century. They are an inspiration to millions of people around the world and are great ambassadors of the wrestling business.

Both Tanahashi and Cena have a huge fan following among women and children while the adult male audience has been harsh on them.They are respected by their peers and have displayed a strong work ethic during the course of their respective careers.

Seeing the Ace and The Cenation Leader locking horns inside a wrestling rings will be a sight to behold. This is undoubtedly the biggest dream match in wrestling today. This match has the potential to sell out arenas in any part of the world. So, Vince and Harold, Please put your differences aside and make this match happen.
