John Cena is one of the most famous wrestlers of all time. For the past two decades, he has been one of the most prominent WWE Superstars and has managed to make the top of the WWE roster his home.
In WWE, Cena was indomitable, so much so that the fact that he never lost became a joke among fans. Always one of the more controversial superstars who attracted love as much as hate, Cena made himself an indisputable part of the conversation when talking about dream matches in the wrestling scene.
Over the last five years, John Cena has taken a step back from actively participating in wrestling. While the superstar has achieved a lot in WWE, there's still a lot that he is yet to achieve in the wrestling world.
Now that he is no longer an active part of WWE, he could explore the indie wrestling scene, where he could look to emulate his achievements in WWE. Seeing Cena outside WWE would also be a unique experience for fans, and there are quite a few wrestlers with whom he could have dream matches.

The following are five dream matches for John Cena outside WWE.
#5 Zack Sabre Jr. vs. John Cena
John Cena is one of the best wrestlers in the world, and over the years he has developed his technical ability in the ring. However, if there's one wrestler that could put Cena's technical abilities to the test, it would be Zack Sabre Jr.
The British Master is thought to be one of the best technical wrestlers in the world thanks to his incredible arsenal of submission offense. At the same time, the fact that he does not really look like a dangerous superstar, adds to his image.
He is thought to be a master of tying up his opponents in the ring and can counter anything that they throw at him. Sabre Jr. is also an amazing heel, and a match between him and Cena would be a sight to behold.
#4 Will Ospreay vs John Cena
John Cena was not known for being a high-flying wrestler. His wrestling style was not always the most exciting, but he knew how to get a crowd riled up. Cena, in the later stages of his WWE career, was not averse to learning and using new moves as well, including the Springboard Stunner.
Will Ospreay is considered to be one of the best high-flying wrestlers of all time. Every time he brought his unique offense to the ring, it usually saw him try out anything that he could to take out his opponents.
Unfortunately, due to injuries early in his career, he had to slow down his offense a little, but he was still prone to bringing out the craziest moves even in some of his more recent matches.
Ospreay is currently out of action thanks to a neck injury, while John Cena is busy in Hollywood. The two are the best at what they do, and should they meet in the ring, it would be an experience that no fan would forget.
The two stars could put on one of the best matches of all time, if allowed to do so.
#3 Cody Rhodes vs John Cena
Cody Rhodes and John Cena are no strangers to each other. The two superstars have faced one another multiple times in the past. However, the Cody Rhodes of today is very different from the Cody Rhodes who was once a part of WWE.
The American Nightmare has evolved into one of the best superstars of all time and has managed to improve his work on the mic and in the ring.
John Cena was the face of WWE for the better part of two decades. Cody Rhodes has been the face of AEW for as long as the promotion has existed.
The two superstars in the ring would be the best example of a former legend meeting the star who appears to have taken up his mantle - even if it is outside WWE.
If the two superstars were ever to meet in the ring outside WWE, the match between the two would be a must-watch event.
It would also be interesting to see how John Cena and Cody Rhodes would react to each other after all that has happened since both took a step away from WWE.
#2 Kazuchika Okada vs John Cena
Kazuchika Okada is often referred to as the John Cena of New Japan Pro Wrestling. The superstar was pushed to the moon and was indomitable when he was at the top of the roster. No matter who he faced, it seemed like he could never lose the title.
This happened so long that some fans even turned on him, quite similar to what happened to Cena when he was in WWE. The two stars looked incredible in the ring and seemed to ooze charisma in spades.
Okada is still a force in NJPW. If he were to enter the ring with John Cena, the match that they would put on would be a meeting of two cultures. In a sense, it's one of the biggest dream matches possible in the world of wrestling right now.
Were the match to happen, it would attract the attention of the global fans that Cena always brings, while the hardcore fanbase would back Okada.
It would be a dream match in the truest sense of the term, and no matter who won, it would likely be something that no one could ever forget.
#1 Kenny Omega vs John Cena
Kenny Omega and John Cena are two wrestlers that should have met in the ring a long time ago. Omega has risen through the ranks of professional wrestlers, battling everyone that he has come across, and is hailed by some as one of the best wrestlers in the world today.
John Cena would never hold the position of being the best wrestler in the world, but there may not be a better performer out there. What Cena does with fans is an art that not many wrestlers can replicate.
Cena and Omega are polar opposites in every sense of the word, but in the ring, they give everything to entertain the fans. Omega has often talked about wanting a match with Cena, while the WWE legend has poked fun at Omega on social media.
The two superstars would be able to match each other in the ring, as Cena can match anyone's pace inside the squared circle. A match between the two would likely be the stuff of legend.
Cena facing Omega is a dream match that would be the personification of WWE vs Indie Wrestling.
