John Cena is undoubtedly one of the greatest performers to ever grace the squared circle with his powerful presence. The Cenation Leader has always been advertised as one of the major highlights of WrestleMania, and this year will be no different.

The Franchise Player is rumored to lock horns with Lars Sullivan at this year's WrestleMania 35, but Sullivan's apparent health condition has put the bout under serious concern.

Since WWE already are feeling the wrath of Roman Reigns's absence for the biggest event of the year, Vince McMahon could be looking to push John Cena in a marquee big fight feel bout in April.

While the company vicariously teased us that Drew McIntyre could be the one tussling with the Cenation Leader at the Showcase of the Immortals, the Scottish Terminator is still settling some business with the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.

Considering that this year's WrestleMania will be live from the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey where Cena defeated the Rock to claim the WWE Championship, will the 16-time World Champion do something epic this time around? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 epic matches WWE could plan for John Cena at WrestleMania 35.


#1 John Cena Vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the United States Championship

If there's any WWE superstar who deserves to have his hand raised at the Grandest Stage of Them All besides Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, it's Andrade 'Cien' Almas.

The Mexican Sensation has run riot on SmackDown Live and while he has not been provided with the screen time he deserves, he has managed to make the most of his opportunities on the blue brand.

His recent matches with Rey Mysterio have already cemented their position in SmackDown Live history as one of the finest, and Andrade is only beginning to thrive.

Considering that the Cenation Leader is essaying a role of pushing younger talent to the frame, he could use a platform like WrestleMania to introduce the former NXT Champion as a legitimate superstar.

A potential match between the two involving the United States Championship could be awesome and could see the Mexican finally getting the WrestleMania moment he rightfully deserves.

#2 John Cena Vs. Samoa Joe in a No Holds Barred Match

Another match that the WWE Universe has been dying to see for a long, long time is Samoa Joe in a one-on-one clash with the 16-time World Champion, John Cena.

Both the popular superstars share a lot of history together which could pan out perfectly with Joe working as a dominating antagonist throughout.

Since Joe had been influential in pushing Cena to join the WWE, Vince McMahon definitely has a money feud on his hands which could finally ascend Joe to the top of the mountain.

There's no denying that the former NXT Champion possesses all the credentials to become the most dangerous heel in the business, and with Cena playing a perfect protagonist, Joe could really shine as a villain in this one.

A potential No Holds Barred match would be incredible, with the Destroyer making things more heated and personal with the 16-time World Champion at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

#3 John Cena Vs. Drew McIntyre in a Singles Match

Who is more ruthless?

If their last meeting was anything to take into consideration, then Vince McMahon definitely has an already established feud in his hands with Drew McIntyre and John Cena.

The Scottish Terminator has completely ridiculed John Cena's 'Greatest of all time' moniker and is only a WrestleMania away from proving his critics wrong.

The Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon definitely sees McIntyre as one of the most talented individuals on the main roster, and the former NXT Champion ticks all boxes that are required to become a huge name in the business.

Facing John Cena at WrestleMania 35 could be a big deal and would be a perfect way for the WWE to maximize their investment in the Scottish Sensation as the next big thing.

It's about time that Drew McIntyre becomes the most dominant superstar in the entire company and his ruthless aggression is all the proof you'll ever need to understand that he absolutely deserves it.

#4 John Cena Vs. Randy Orton Vs. 'The New' Daniel Bryan Vs. A.J. Styles for the WWE Championship

Who wants to see John make history?

While it's highly unlikely that the company would book a Fatal 4-way match for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35, these four competitors fighting for the most coveted prize in sports entertainment does make a lot of sense.

'The New' Daniel Bryan has been highly successful in garnering nuclear heat for his provocative antics on the blue brand, with the WWE Champion constantly demeaning the WWE and legions of its fans for being destroyers of the environment.

Since Daniel Bryan has now introduced an eco-friendly belt to the blue brand, there's no way he would be dropping the belt so soon before WrestleMania 35.

John Cena, A.J. Styles, and Randy Orton are three competitors who genuinely deserve a shot at the gold, with the latter two making the headlines lately after being rumored to join All Elite Wrestling.

In such a situation, Vince could use them in a marquee bout such as this one and insert John Cena to make this even bigger for the casual audience.

The 16-time World Champion wanting to make history at the MetLife Stadium is compelling enough for the viewers to be excited.

#5 John Cena Vs. The Undertaker in a Career Vs. Career match

Will John seek redemption?

After being heavily criticised for the way they booked the entire Undertaker Vs. John Cena feud for WrestleMania 34, the WWE have a legitimate chance of righting the wrongs this time around.

With both the icons following a strict part-time schedule, it makes absolute sense to bring these two together and have them collide at the biggest event of the year.

John Cena has always been the man who brings his best in big matches, and 'Big Match John' could take the fight to the Phenom once again; this time putting his career on the line.

Since the Undertaker deserves to retire in style, the fans won't have a problem seeing the Cenation Leader retire the Deadman for good at the Showcase of the Immortals.

The story is already there. The company definitely needs to execute this one properly and we will have an absolutely stunning match happening in New Jersey this April.
