WWE News: John Cena Vs The Undertaker WrestleMania Match Still Rumored

WWE RAW will turn 25 years old soon, with the anniversary of the show coming up in a few weeks. WWE is pulling out everything they can think of with this event. That’s including adding title matches to the card and bringing back legends. Of course top names still active in the industry in John Cena, Triple H, Kurt Angle, etc. will also be in attendance and most likely on the show in some capacity. However, one of the biggest names who will be on the show is The Undertaker.

There are a number of things that people are discussing regarding his role at the show. He will not be wrestling on the event, but he will appear and at least take to the mic to address his loss to Roman Reigns last year at WrestleMania 33. As of now, there are a number of things that are claimed here. The theory is that Undertaker will announce his official retirement from the ring or set up a match for WrestleMania.

It’s really kind of crazy that it is so wide-open, but those are the only two plans in place for him. However, one of these has John Cena factored in. This makes sense as Cena is seen as one of the biggest stars The Undertaker has never faced on the grandest stage of them all. He’s taken on some of the best in this era there from Edge and Randy Orton to CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. Let’s not forget the series of matches he had with Kane, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels either.

What Is The Ultimate Plan For John Cena At WrestleMania?

The plan for John Cena is kind of up in the air for news writers, but we know a number of things right now. While he is a favorite by fans and betting odds areas, he is not expected to win the Royal Rumble. The Wrestling Observer noted that his match is set to be much bigger than the title, which means he’ll have to take on a major name at the event.

This is really what led to The Undertaker being speculated. However, this news has continued to grow on this since the original reporting on it. The Observer claimed yet again recently that the set-up for the match will happen at The RAW 25 show if the two are set to square off. However, there has been a lot of speculation that if John Cena does not take on the Deadman, he’ll take on either Batista or Goldberg.

Goldberg has been interested in coming back after his run last year and said as much to the WWE fans on his last RAW event earlier in the year. Meanwhile Batista has claimed he wants to return for one final full-time run soon and has even been in talks with Vince McMahon and Triple H on the return as well. So that means if we don’t see John Cena take on The Undertaker, he’s still getting a major name to work against.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
