John Cena and The Undertaker are probably the biggest names in WWE history. Imagining a WrestleMania without them is extremely difficult as the two hold records of 10-3 and 23-2 respectively.

The WWE Universe has been waiting for a match between The Cenation Leader and The Deadman at The Show of Shows. Cena has called out Taker for weeks now but has got no response. It is still unknown if Taker would show up at the grandest stage or not.

John Cena has already declared that he's anyway attending WrestleMania as a fan.

If WWE decides on not having The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34 (which I hope doesn't happen), here are five roles which The Franchise may play instead of sitting in the audience.


#5 Beat up AJ Styles after his match

A heel turn please?
A heel turn, please?

Okay, let's get the least possible outcome out of the way first.

Shinsuke Nakamura may be the favorite to win the WWE Championship, considering this year being his first WrestleMania.

What if, Cena comes out after the match to try and console the sulking AJ Styles, but hits him with an AA instead? The crowd will go nuts, as a heel John Cena is something which no one has ever seen before (barring his debut run).

Styles and Cena have produced phenomenal performances in the past, and their rivalry has money written all over it.

#4 Surprise entrant for the Andre the Giant Battle Royal

The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has been established as a yearly tradition at WWE's marquee event. Every year, a multitude of superstars battle it out to continue the legacy that the great man created.

This year is a little different as HBO has made a documentary on Andre the Giant, so the WWE Officials are going to make the match a grand affair.

Some big names like Dolph Ziggler and Matt Hardy have already been added to the match, but the addition of John Cena can take it to a whole another level. Cena need not win the match, but mere his inclusion is enough to garner attention and make the Battle Royal a huge success.

#3 Braun Strowman's Tag team partner

How's that for a mystery partner?

Braun Strowman shocked everyone when he won the Tag-Team Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the Raw Tag-Team Championship. The match is set for WrestleMania, but the catch is - Strowman needs a partner.

Many huge names are being speculated for his partner, but one name that has never come up is John Cena. He is technically not booked for any match and has not held a tag-team title in over seven years. So, it's a win-win situation.

As much as Strowman doesn't even need a partner, the inclusion of John Cena will make this match a talking point. The two can manhandle Sheamus and Cesaro and go all the way at The Show of Immortals.

#2 Impromptu match with Elias

Elias is expected to perform live at WrestleMania 34. In the WrestleMania go-home show of Monday Night Raw, Elias declared that a performance of a lifetime is in store for everyone.

An interruption by John Cena during the performance will be a huge swerve moment for the WWE Universe. The agitated Elias can challenge The Franchise for an impromptu match and even create a bigger upset by pinning him clean.

Elias going over Cena will have a huge impact on the former's status in WWE. At just 30, The Drifter is surely the future of the company.

Elias is one of the top fan favorite wrestlers today. Be it his insulting promos with his guitar or his in-ring abilities, Elias has everything that is needed to become a top guy in WWE. A win over Cena at the grandest stage will give him a much-needed boost, and be a great push for his singles career.

#1 WrestleMania Host

A big name for the host? You got it.

There's no doubt about John Cena's mic skills. His promos are completely natural and second to none. From his time free-styling to his mantra of Hustle, Loyalty, Respect, Cena has never failed to grab the attention of the fans.

The New Day did a great job as hosts of WrestleMania 33, and if anyone can top that, there is no bigger name than John Cena. The guest host has the ability to make an impact by introducing a returning superstar or getting involved in some match.

With Cena's impeccable mic skills and star power, WWE will have an awesome host who can keep the crowd entertained throughout the show.
