5 reasons why John Cena versus The Fiend at WrestleMania 36 is best for business 

The Fiend versus John Cena has been rumored for WrestleMania 36 and while some fans find the idea completely out of left field, it actually would be best for business in a lot of ways. In fact, between the booking freedom it allows the company heading into the biggest event of the year and how they can subvert expectations, this match seems like a perfect choice!

With that being said and Fiend versus Cena being one of the leading rumors for WrestleMania 36, here are five reasons why the match would be best for business.

As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think about the possible dream match.

#5 Resentment factor

John Cena is still a very controversial figure in WWE

While John Cena is one of the most decorated WWE competitors in the company's history, he is also one of the most resented as well. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the fact that Cena has had the same gimmick for his entire career, but also by how long that The Cenation Leader has managed to stay on top.

If nothing else, Cena will return to cheers, but they will quickly turn to boos if he crosses paths with The Fiend. In fact, between Cena practically burying Wyatt at WrestleMania 30 and The Eater of Worlds never really getting his momentum back afterwards, one could argue that there would be some resentment there.

In the end, it's beyond obvious that the WWE wants The Fiend to win at WrestleMania and bringing in Cena is only going to amplify that feeling. It might even be enough to put The Fiend in a similar situation to what Bray Wyatt was back at WrestleMania 34, which would be a nice factor to play with.

#4 Avoids Roman Reigns taking a loss

Roman Reigns should not take a loss at WrestleMania 36

Roman Reigns is one of the biggest things in WWE right now and while one would assume that a feud with The Fiend would be on the horizon, why does it have to be? Furthermore, wouldn't putting WWE's two biggest personalities on a collision course eventually force them to make a very difficult decision?

In all honesty, that seems like a situation that WWE can't afford to put themselves in, which is why the idea of John Cena versus The Fiend becomes much more appealing. Not only does that create a situation where the company isn't forced to make a decision between The Fiend or Roman Reigns, it also helps Reigns not have to take a crucial loss.

With that being said and Reigns versus The Fiend creating obvious problems, Cena versus The Fiend would be a much easier decision. It would also give Reigns a chance to have a dream match of his own with Goldberg or someone else, which could be very lucrative for his championship chances moving forward.

#3 Allows WWE to play up their history

WWE should really capitalize on the history of these two!

Believe it or not, John Cena and Bray Wyatt have quite the history with each other and it would great if the company had a chance to play that up again. It might even be what makes the eventual dream match between the two must-watch television and really leave fans wondering who will come out on top.

Although Wyatt would go on to take a multitude of other losses throughout his time as the cult character, one of his biggest was against John Cena at WrestleMania 30. In fact, that is probably the moment that revealed the company wasn't going to take Wyatt seriously and that it was time to give up on him.

With that being said and the feeling of resentment still clearly in the mind of the WWE Universe over that incident, why not play it up and do it right this time? At least this way, Cena can retire after the biggest match of his career, The Fiend gets his defining moment, and the fans are enraptured from beginning to end with the storytelling.

#2 Passing of the torch moment

WrestleMania 36 would serve as the ultimate passing of the torch moment

The Fiend has done it all in WWE, but he has yet to have that pivotal passing of the torch moment that will solidify his career. Fortunately for The Fiend, a dream match with John Cena would offer the company a chance to pass the torch to their new character and do so at the expense of the biggest name in pro wrestling.

Think about it! No one in WWE has been on top of the mountain as much as John Cena and he has quite the record when it comes to WrestleMania. Of course, that record has taken some hits over the past couple of years, especially after a loss to The Undertaker, The Miz and The Rock, but beating him at WrestleMania still would mean a lot.

In fact, if The Fiend was somehow able to beat John Cena at WrestleMania 36 it would probably serve as the de facto moment that fans knew The Fiend was for real. It would also signal only the beginning of what the company could do with the character and keeps the lore alive for the foreseeable future.

#1 The Fiend's streak doesn't have to end

What if The Fiend's streak didn't have to end?

It's no secret that no one wants The Fiend's undefeated streak to end at WrestleMania 36 and WWE shouldn't allow it to. Either that or face resentment from a fanbase that is completely enthralled in the character, which is why a match with John Cena is such a great idea.

Think about it this way: Cena versus The Fiend at WrestleMania allows the company to have the best of both worlds and start to blur the lines in the process. For example, in a storyline, everyone always expects good to overcome evil, which is why the opposite happening would be an absolute shocker to fans.

Secondly, not ending The Fiend's undefeated streak allows for the company to keep the lore going past WrestleMania and keeping the character on top. If nothing else, that seems to be what the WWE Universe wants right now and anything less would just feel like a disservice to everything the company has achieved with The Fiend.
