John Cena is the only big name The Undertaker is yet to face at Wrestlemania. A match between the two has been teased numerous times with sources indicating that they were initially scheduled to face each other at Wrestlemania 32 before Cena suffered a shoulder injury. "The Dead Man" went to face Shane McMahon instead in a Hell in Cell match.

The match-up between these two legends is likely to be set at next week's 25th anniversary of Raw when The Undertaker returns. He is likely to ponder giving a retirement speech only to be interrupted and challenged by the leader of the Cenation. Cena vs Undertaker is a match the WWE universe has anticipated for in a long time and it is about time the WWE granted the fans their wishes. This is a dream match with years in the making.

Besides the Cena vs Undertaker match-up, there is another rumoured main event match for Wrestlemania pitting Roman Reigns against Brock Lesnar. This is the rumoured contest for the Universal Championship. Here are the 5 reasons why Cena vs Undertaker should instead be the main event at Wrestlemania 34.


#5 Cena vs Undertaker would be a first at Wrestlemania

The Undertaker began his Wrestlemania streak at Wrestlemania 7 in 1991 when he beat Jimmy Snuka. Overall, "The Dead Man" defeated 18 men during The Streak, which included three bouts with Triple H and two each against Kane and Shawn Michaels, as well as a handicap match against A-Train and Big Show at WrestleMania 19.

The one big name The Undertaker is yet to face at the show of shows is John Cena. Speculations of Cena facing the Undertaker began in 2011 before The Rock forced creative back to the drawing board after he challenged the leader of the Cenation to a match, a year in advance. Five years later, Cena was scheduled to face the Phenom at Wrestlemania 32 only for him to suffer a shoulder injury that saw him sidelined. The Cena-Taker match-up was therefore scrapped and The Undertaker faced the returning Shane McMahon instead. Last year, Cena was again pencilled to collide with the dead man at Wrestlemania 33 but Vince changed his minds as he wanted his new golden boy, Roman Reigns, to have the honour of defeating The Dead Man. This year, however, the match will most likely happen and the fans will be elated to finally see the dream match they have yearned for a long time. The main event spot for this huge encounter is therefore inevitable.

#4 It will be Undertaker's final match

The Undertaker is a renowned WWE legend with a career that spans almost three decades. He has been part of various pivotal storylines and matches within WWE history and is one of the most respected WWE superstars of all time. He has also been involved in some of the most memorable and defining moments and has achieved everything that there is to accomplish in the world of wrestling.

Everything that has a beginning must have an end. The Undertaker's career is coming to an end and nobody expects him to wrestle anymore after Wrestlemania this year. Rumours of his retirement have been rife for the past few years and many strongly believe that this is the year that he finally hangs his boots. The WWE should, therefore, pay tribute to The Undertaker by having his final match go last at Wrestlemania. This will be the ideal way to close Wrestlemania in honour of a man who has dominated the industry for almost three decades.

#3 It will be a great match

The Undertaker has recently been reported to be in good shape. This is wonderful news for the fans as they would love to see the man billed to hail from Death Valley perform at his absolute best in the show he has dominated for over two decades. Last year at the Royal Rumble, The Undertaker appeared out of shape and fumbled a lot in the ring. At Wrestlemania 33 in his match against Roman Reigns, he was clearly not at his best. This year, however, The Dead Man, who seems to be in an awesome shape, will most certainly face Cena, a man he wanted to face last year but did not since Vince had a different vision.

Cena has the ability to put on great matches and the same can be said of The Undertaker who has had a number of 5-star contests including both his bouts with Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 25 and 26. His match with Cena has the potential of being a match of the year candidate provided he is in good shape. A lot of power moves and near-falls would define this big match and so the WWE universe would expect such a once in a lifetime contest to be the main event of Wrestlemania.

#2 Roman Reigns has been in 3 consecutive Wrestlemania main events

Roman Reigns has been in the main event of Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania 31. He faced Brock Lesnar, Triple H, and The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 31, 32 and 33 respectively. He is rumoured to face Lesnar once again at this year's Wrestlemania for the Universal Championship in a match many expect him to win and further cement himself as the new face of the WWE.

As much as the WWE has such big plans for Reigns, the vocal wrestling fans are not so excited to see the show end with Reigns hoisting the title high above his head. That is a scene the WWE universe is not looking forward to at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 8th. The Reigns vs Lesnar contest should instead co-main event the Cena - Taker match which should end the biggest show of the year on a high note. The sound of the gong should end the show to signify the end of an illustrious career for the man who has dominated Wrestlemania for over two decades.

#1 The Undertaker and Cena are the biggest stars in WWE today

Wrestlemania is WWE's biggest show of the year and as such, it is every wrestler's dream to compete at the event. It is even a bigger achievement for a wrestler to be in the main event of the show. Being in the last match at Wrestlemania is a coronation to being the top star of the company. Also, the stars who compete in the main event should be able to put on an incredible match and must also have the ability to sell out the arena.

The biggest names in wrestling have always sold out arenas in the past with names such as Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, The Rock and John Cena coming to mind. The main event match at Wrestlemania is normally the selling point of the show. It is what helps sell the tickets and draw record-breaking crowds from all over the globe. Currently, John Cena and The Undertaker, who are expected to go toe to toe at Wrestlemania this year, are the most accomplished stars on the entire roster. Therefore, it would make the most sense to have these two icons headline the biggest show of the year.
