WrestleMania 35: 4 reasons John Cena should retire Kurt Angle 

Kurt Angle appeared on the March 11 episode of RAW, that coincidentally was in his hometown of Pittsburgh. And, when he held the microphone in his hand, we all could predict what was about to come. The Olympic gold medalist announced his retirement after WrestleMania 35. He let everyone know that his match on the Show of Immortals will be his last.

Angle even went on to have a short match in his hometown, defeating Apollo Crews with his trademark suplexes and an Angle slam. However, the match on April 7 would require a worthier opponent. And, we think it could be none other than WWE's 'Greatest of all time' John Cena.

In this article, we present four cool reasons why the 16-time World Champion should retire the WWE Hall of Famer at WrestleMania 35.

#1 Cena is the best high-profile option

Fact: Cena inducted Angle at the WWE HOF 2019

It may come across as a shock but WWE hasn't yet planned Samoa Joe's opponent for the grand show. All of us had our hopes skyrocket for a potential John Cena vs. Samoa Joe match at the Show of Shows. However, WWE could have Joe be involved in a rivalry with a full-time star, rather than Cena who wouldn't be available until WrestleMania week.

The bottom line is that rumours of Samoa Joe vs. John Cena may have been false after all. Also, Cena's other rumored opponent Drew McIntyre looks set for a rivalry with Roman Reigns. And, Lars Sullivan vs. John Cena has no real chances of happening, and most probably The Undertaker will not compete at the grand show this year, at least not against Cena for sure.

It makes sense for John Cena to show up and fight Kurt Angle. The reasons are pretty simple. First, that they already have a history between them for the match to make sense. Second, there's no buildup required for this match. It's one that'd be special whatever the two men do in the ring.

#2 John Cena will push Angle to a decent match.

It should be a great watch.

Kurt Angle is now only a shade of what he once was. We can't expect him to put on a technical masterpiece or a really athletic bout. In fact, his physical condition and worsening fitness is the reason for Angle's retirement.

John Cena is an underrated in-ring worker. Almost always, the other guy in his matches runs away with the credit for the matches if they turn out to be great, but very few in the WWE could add drama and stakes to a match as Cena does. He is a fantastic storyteller. So, he will definitely help Kurt Angle tell a great farewell story, possibly of Angle desperately wanting to retire on a winning note.

The Undertaker is another megastar who has nothing booked for the event yet. However, he is well past his prime, and these two bruised and broken veterans will struggle to put on anything substantial together.

#3 The debut thing

About 16 years ago, Kurt Angle stood in the middle of a WWE ring looking for some competition. A young man answered with some ruthless aggression, needing recognition. His name was John Cena.

In his very first match, Cena showed some fight, almost taking down the Olympic gold medalist. In a really good showing, with some excellent selling by Kurt Angle, Cena made an instant impact.

It's 2019 and Kurt Angle has announced that WrestleMania 35 will be his final wrestling match. He doesn't have an opponent yet. And, if life has to come full circle, it'd be just heart-melting to have John Cena retire Kurt Angle. Especially, considering that it was John Cena who inducted Kurt Angle to the WWE Hall of Fame. There is immense mutual respect between the two superstars.

Kurt Angle had beaten the young John Cena in his first match, it'd definitely be cool to have Cena beat Angle in his last; a man who Cena would have learned so much from during his initial days in the WWE, much before he became the ‘face that runs the place.'

#4 A nostalgic trip down the memory lane

We all love nostalgia, don't we? John Cena and Kurt Angle in the same ring at the grandest stage is an appealing prospect for all the fans (such as me) who used to watch WWE during the Ruthless Aggression Era.

We'd recommend you to google a 'rap-battle between John Cena and Kurt Angle.' They had stolen the show on an episode of SmackDown, purely because of their desire to have fun and entertain the audience. It's almost certain Kurt Angle's rap in the segment will leave you with a smile. Above is a video of Kurt singing his greatest hits at the Hall of Fame in 2017.

it's just not about a great WrestleMania segment, but it's about celebrating a legend's career. And besides the Undertaker, there's no one else besides John Cena who can take us through that ride. Hence, John Cena vs. Kurt Angle is the way to go.

Finally, Kurt Angle - YOU SUCK! It's weird, but readers, drop the same in the comments to pay a tribute to this retiring 'once in a lifetime' legend just the way he likes it.
