Who all thinks at WrestleMania XXVII: John Cena vs. The Undertaker MUST HAPPEN & WWE can't try to avoid it?

Favorite Answer

Agree.

Let's face it, using the current roster in WWE, what singles match has the possibility to draw more than 93,173 attendance? IMO, it's only Taker vs Cena at WM 27 if Taker can defeat HBK and Cena can defeat Batista this year. Being held in Georgia Dome with Cena (as we knew it) booked as an irresistible force ever since his run as an icon against Taker who is booked as an immovable object at Wrestlemania for nearly 2 decades in the second largest domed structure in this world?

The attention this match could garner is unimaginable, and the hype would be out of this planet. WWE would be an idiot to avoid booking this match again if Taker goes 18-0 and Cena defeats Batista this year. Let's face it, no other matches come close. Not Taker vs Sheamus or Taker vs Jericho. And of course not another Cena vs Orton or Cena vs HHH for the millionth time. Even IWC virgins & WWE No Balls Board Directors have to admit Cena is the biggest draw and threat for The Streak, more so than Jericho, Punk, Sheamus, or Ted DiBiase Jr all combined.

The Undertaker vs John Cena at Wrestlemania XXVII IS the match that needs to happen in order to capitalize this era, regardless who wins. Taker vs Triple H CANNOT capitalize this era, but Taker vs Cena CAN. Sure, there are big man wrestlers type mid-carders (i.e: Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Ezekiel Jackson, and Vance Archer) in WWE currently. But let's face it, The Undertaker could never carry giants into a legendary match at Wrestlemania. Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, Big Show, A-Train, and Mark Henry proved that.

Sure, Masked Kane, Diesel, Sid, and Batista proved otherwise. But look at the record, 4 out of 10 giants? Less than half right? Why would throw another 50:50 chance with a no name? You want to witness another bad match for The Streak after five failures?

What is the reason WWE doesn't want to book Taker vs Cena at WM? "Because we don't want Cena to receive a heel reaction".

OMG, he has been receiving a heel reaction against anyone he faced for four years. WWE Board Directors must have been living under a rock. Cena has been getting booed for many years now, ever since the classic One Night stand against RVD. He got booed against a heel Orton, booed against a heel Edge booed against many people. The simple fact is people do not like his superhero gimmick

So yes, a match against Undertaker can not hurt his rep any more then it currently is. also Cena being booked would actually have people on edge because people know the WWE might book him to win. more surprising then Henry vs Taker anyway

If Undertaker can hang around for one more year, it is highly possible the match will happen. who else is their to face? Sure, Jericho is a good choice, but he has faced Taker at least five times on the last four months. Who wants to see Taker going against someone he defeats on daily basis?

Believe me, Undertaker vs Sheamus or Undertaker vs Goldberg (which won't happen) alone can never draw even half of 93,173 attendance. But with Undertaker vs Cena next year, it's a different story. Atalanta was WCW's base, and since this year's crowd was a funeral one WWE would be killed without booking the match of a lifetime.

Besides, Taker vs HHH won't be able to top their match at WM 17. I noticed Taker vs HHH at WM X-7 was a classic cause it was during the swansong of The Attitude Era, so the match was brutal (much like a street fight than a normal match) which saw both men brawling throughout the arena using weapons. The match turned out great because both men were brawlers and Attitude Era, whether you like it or not, bring the best out of the brawlers like Stone Cold, Triple H, and Undertaker.

Now, in PG, everything has been watered down. They couldn't use weapons anymore, they couldn't brawl inside the crowd anymore. Undertaker is injured as we knew it. HHH isn't a technical masterpiece so the match wouldn't be a technical classic like Edge vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXIV. And not taking anything from him, but Hunter is nowhere near Shawn Michaels or Undertaker in terms of in ring psychology. So, if the match happens it will surely not touch Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XXV & XXVI which witnessed the crowds greatly contributed to the match. Long story short, Undertaker vs Triple H at WM X-7 was the best the two could provide when they were paired. Their latter matches together in King Of The Ring 2002, Insurextion 2002, Smackdown!, and Elimination Chamber didn't even come close to their Wrestlemania X-7 performance.

That's why I can't understand why people fancy this possible match-up. And the way I see it, this possible rematch, career vs streak or not, is futile. Not to mention HHH can't possibly give new name or new credibility for The Streak. His name is already written on it. New face like Chris Jericho or John Cena is more welcomed and would give fresher match for The Streak next year....Show more

I think this is a feud and storyline that WWE and the IWC is not noticing, imagine John Cena the face of WWE, the guy who almost always comes out on top at Wrestlemania, then you have The Undertaker ''The Phenom who has the Wrestlemania streak, I think the real question is, is WWE brave enough to book this match, there on doubt about WWE possibly making this match happen, but my biggest doubt is The Finish, think about it would WWE have The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak broken, or will WWE have there poster boy lose at Wrestlemania, I know that John Cena has lost before, but that was before he became the superman or in his words ''Aquaman'' of the WWE

Nothing, was official but I read a rumor that WWE wanted The Undertaker's streak to end, and the guys who could possibly do it were Vince McMahon, John Cena, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre, since WWE is throwing out ideas for Wrestlemania, why wont book The Undertaker vs. John Cena, that match would scream Pay Per View buys, and I sure as hell would by the Pay Per View just to see that match. And I am sure everyone would buy this too, this match could actually be unpredictable, I mean John Cena doesn’t have too actually win, although many people may get pissed if they wanted Cena to end it (which I doubt since most people of the IWC hate Cena) the streak.

But I am sure that everyone would want to see this match, could this be a five star match, but the only way that would happen is if, Cena carried The Undertaker through most of the match, which is going to be another thing that may doubt this match from happening, but Cena isn’t that bad or is he....Show more

I wouldn't say it NEEDS to happen. Nothing ever NEEDS to happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing it. I don't think there are many people that are worth the Undertaker's time at WrestleMania, but I would say John Cena is one of those people. The biggest legend in the WWE, the Undertaker, vs. the star of the WWE, John Cena, would be a money-making match. Time will tell whether WWE goes that route or not, but it's not something that NEEDS to happen....Show more

I hope it'a gonna happen, i just hope Undertaker wins....Show more

It MUST happen, because it's like David VS Goliath, like Cena has rarely faced off against Taker in the last 3 years and Taker is undefeated.. Even if Cena loses I still want to see this match....Show more
