5 Matches that must happen on Raw in 2018

#3 John Cena competing for the IC Title

The one title that has eluded Cena his entire career.

John Cena's 2017/2018 WWE run has been the most disappointing in his legendary career. From participating in throwaway pay-per-view matches to losing to the Undertaker in a dream match gone wrong, WWE has struggled to find a way to utilize the 16-time World Champion.

Furthermore, recent rumors suggest that Cena could shockingly make his way down to Full Sail Arena to compete in a dream match with the hottest talent NXT has to offer, but if one must be realistic, it is unlikely that Cena would compete in an NXT ring, but as they say, expect the unexpected in wrestling.

Therefore, the one match that Cena needs to have to round off a perfect career is a match for the IC Championship. The IC Title is the one championship that has eluded the leader of the Cenation his entire career and thus making him is one the few active legends that are not a grand slam champion.

While world wants to see Cena take on the Undertaker one more time or Cena returning to face the World Champion, it makes the most sense in a storytelling perspective for Cena to return to Raw for one reason only, and that is the quest to become IC Champion.

Cena could receive his shot via an open challenge or directly challenging the champion for the match, either way, Cena's presence on Raw would garner more interest in the wider WWE fanbase, as the star power, prestigious and significance Cena brings to the table would immensely benefit the evolution of the IC Title. Matches against the likes of Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler and even Drew Mcintyre for the IC title would be classics written in Raw's history books.
