I have always wondered why John Cena and the Undertaker never happened at Wrestlemania. When I was looking back at the Undertakers streak, I always just assumed these guys had a match. Considering that John Cena has been the biggest star in the WWE for the past decade, and the 'Streak' was one of the top draws of WrestleMania every year, it’s amazing that this never happened. But how come this never happened? It would seem like the easiest booking decision ever to start a feud with 2 of the top guys in the industry and main event WrestleMania. It was also teased a bit back in 2009 when the Undertaker turned on Cena (SKIP TO AROUND 13:00 IN).
How great of a moment would it have been if John Cena cheated to win and turned heel at WrestleMania to end the Undertakers undefeated streak. The internet would explode! The wrestling world would have exploded. This would have been probably the greatest thing ever (as I myself am on the turn Cena Heel team).
A theory of why this never happened is because both guys were simply booked to never lose at WrestleMania. Undertaker owns the longest undefeated streak in WrestleMania history which we all know! John Cena also holds an impressive record of 9 wins 3 losses at the event. There is a reason why fans over the age of 12 years old boo John Cena, because he rarely loses. I guess the WWE felt that Cena losing clean would hurt his status and it never really happened.
The stars never really aligned for this match I guess and the WWE simply chose to go in another direction. I just always assumed that this was an easy booking decision on WWE’s part. Now that the streak is over and both are in the twilights of their careers, would anyone have any interest in a match between them now? Or is it past the point of meaning anything? I am not sure how I feel about it as I think Cena and ‘Taker should both be used to give young guys the rub and welcome the next generation of WWE talent. Comment with your opinion on why this match never happened or if you would like to see it now!
