3 reasons John Cena should be Kurt Angle's final opponent at WrestleMania 35

Last night on Monday Night Raw, the former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle made a thunderous announcement, stating that he will be having his retirement match at WrestleMania 35.

For some, this didn't come as a shock, as Angle is way past his prime. He is on the verge of hanging up his boots and there couldn't be a better place for him to end his career than at WrestleMania 35.

Rumors are running rampant that John Cena will be Kurt Angle's opponent in his final match at WrestleMania. Let's see why WWE should book this match for the Show of Shows.

#3 There's no other credible opponent for Angle

One look at the Raw roster and one would realize that there's not a single credible Superstar who deserves to be Angle's final opponent. The ones who are credible enough are already in major Mania matches.

Kurt Angle shouldn't wrestle his final match in WWE against the likes of Baron Corbin or Bobby Lashley. In comes John Cena! Cena has been on the sidelines for months now. He can easily come back for a one-off match against Angle at WrestleMania.

#2 The duo could still pull off a Mania-level bout

These two have given us multiple classics in the past

Angle's ring rust is not a secret at this point. He was dubbed as the greatest s\Superstar of his generation during the Ruthless Aggression Era, but it's been more than a decade since then. But with proper pre-match choreography, Angle and Cena could still produce a good enough match that deserves to be on a WrestleMania card.

Although Cena is infamous for his five moves of doom, he has proven on multiple occasions that he is capable of wrestling five-star classics. There's no reason why these two couldn't prepare a good match before Mania. They still have three weeks left to fully prepare for Angle's final match. The match doesn't even need to be a technical slugfest. A 5-minute match would do, followed by a heartfelt farewell by Cena to Kurt Angle, with the sea of 80,000 fans roaring in unison for one of the greatest athletes WWE has ever come across.

#1 It all comes full circle for Angle

It all comes full circle

Back in 2002, Kurt Angle issued a challenge to any Superstar to come down to the ring and face him. Out came John Cena, in his in-ring debut. The match ended up impressing the higher-ups and the rest is history.

Angle defeated Cena, but it didn't come easy for the Olympic gold medallist. Post-match, Cena offered to shake Angle's hand, but Angle smirked at him and left the ring.

17 years later, WWE has an opportunity to end Angle's career by paying homage to that incredible moment when Angle and Cena met for the first time. Angle defeated Cena in his first match. Cena should pin Angle in his last match for this journey to come full circle and give Angle one of the greatest sendoffs in WrestleMania history. The following night on Raw, Angle can give a final speech, thanking the fans for always supporting him and ride off into the sunset.
