There's no denying that WWE is in a very exemplary position, especially after the startling returns made by Roman Reigns and a villainous Batista.

Vince McMahon has always been successful in presenting some of the biggest box-office bouts to the WWE Universe at WrestleMania, and this year's show would be no different.

Considering that this article will prominently feature Roman Reigns, the Big Dog's blockbuster return to the squared circle has garnered tremendous adulation for the former Universal Champion.

The timing for his return is perfect, as the company prepares for the biggest event of the year. However, there are rumors that the company is still deciding on who will tussle it out with the Big Dog at the Show of Shows.

A very reliable source from Twitter, 'Wrestle Votes' also opined on the fact that Vince McMahon's billion dollar company have not yet locked any bout for Roman Reigns and John Cena for WrestleMania 35.

With both Reigns and Cena still without a confirmed opponent for the Show of Shows, there's a possibility that the company could be looking to push these two against one another in a high-profile encounter.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 5 reasons why WWE could be seriously booking Roman Reigns Vs. John Cena for WrestleMania 35.


#1. Their first feud was extremely personal and perfectly booked

While the legions of WWE fans were skeptical when WWE decided to push the idea of Roman Reigns Vs. John Cena at No Mercy 2017, nobody expected the feud to be filled with such an element of realism.

The Cenation Leader literally ripped Reigns apart in their contract signing for No Mercy and broke the fourth wall, whilst addressing the issues that have made the fans detest the Big Dog.

The feud felt realistic. Despite the fact that Vince wanted Cena to pass the torch to the former Universal Champion, the feud was effectively booked and presented to perfection on our screens.

With WrestleMania 35 just around the corner, the company could easily book a fantastic rematch between the two whilst keeping things intense and extremely personal.

#2. Roman Reigns deserves a big singles match at WrestleMania 35

After making his much-anticipated return, Roman Reigns now looks set to be involved in a fantastic tag-team match against the forces of Drew Mcintyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin.

Since Vince McMahon could be looking to reunite the Shield once again, there's no denying that the 33-year old Samoan deserves a big singles match of his own at this year's WrestleMania.

While many in the WWE Universe want to see Dean Ambrose lock horns with Roman Reigns in New Jersey, the Lunatic Fringe's derailed momentum could coerce the company to think otherwise.

In such a situation, the Cenation Leader can come across as a more marquee opponent for the Samoan who would not only elevate the stature of this high-profile match but would bring more mainstream attention to it.

Booking Roman in a six-man tag-team match at WrestleMania 35 seems like an absurd idea and with the Big Dog returning in such strong fashion, the fans would really want to see him in a match of main event caliber.

#3. This could perfectly pave the way for a Roman Reigns Vs. Rock clash at WrestleMania 36

The casual audience that is gravitated towards the WWE during WrestleMania season is always enticed with such dream matches taking center stage.

Considering that the initial WrestleMania 35 plan was to have Roman Reigns slug it out with The Rock for the Universal Championship, the alterations made throughout 2018 forced the company to eventually drop the idea.

With Reigns now in a prime position to take that top spot again, defeating John Cena at the Grandest Stage of Them All could genuinely pave the way for a fantastic bout with The Rock for next year's WrestleMania.

Since MetLife Stadium was the place where The Cenation Leader outshined The Great One at WrestleMania 29, this could work as an incredible way for Cena to do the same with Reigns at the biggest event of the year.

With Roman Reigns being in such an ideal position at the moment, it's about time that the company capitalizes on his momentum and organically impels him to the top of the industry.

An opponent like John Cena could do wonders here. Since the 16-time World Champion has achieved almost everything in this business, this could be a perfect bout for him to bring down the curtains on an incredible career.

Cena has been following a part-time schedule and despite being squashed against the Undertaker at last year's WrestleMania, he still remains a relevant figure in the sports entertainment industry.

While the fans may have divided opinions on this blockbuster bout, Roman Reigns would be the ideal choice for Vince McMahon to retire John Cena.

And with WrestleMania 35 already advertising some of the most compelling matches in recent memory, Roman Reigns vs. John Cena would only be the icing on the cake.

#5. Avoiding matches where the fans could turn on The Big Dog

There's no denying that Roman deserves all the love and respect in the world for battling Leukemia for setting an example to the thousands amongst the WWE Universe who look up to him.

Considering that The Rock and Dean Ambrose were the two names who were supposed to lock horns with The Big Dog at WrestleMania 35, the company definitely needs to avoid a situation where the fans turn on the former Universal Champion again.

Instantly pushing him into the main event scene or over endorsing his superheroic prowess could force the WWE Universe to divert their attention from the 33-year old Samoan.

Since Cena is an equally pushed character in the eyes of the fans, Roman's current position could benefit by being in a riveting feud with the 16-time WWE Champion.

Vince McMahon's global juggernaut definitely needs to avoid another situation where the fans turn their backs on the Big Dog, and with Cena also returning in time for a match at WrestleMania 35, this could really be the start of something huge.
