5 matches John Cena needs to have before he retires

#5 The Undertaker

One last ride?

While most might argue that Sting vs. The Undertaker is the biggest professional wrestling match to never happen, the same could easily be said for John Cena vs The Undertaker, and unless the WWE get their skates on, neither of these marquee events will ever be allowed to happen - at least not on the biggest stage possible.

The most unfortunate aspect of the Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak coming to such an unceremonious end at Wrestlemania 30 was that it happened before Cena had his turn at ending it. Imagine the intrigue and spectacle that would have come with the leader of the Cenation attempting to bring the Phenom's era of dominance to a close.

With the streak gone, and the Undertaker on the very brink of retirement, the match might not bring with it quite as much drama or excitement as it could have done, but this doesn't mean fans aren't still desperate to see it. After all, it is two of the WWE's biggest and most loyal products going at it for a shot at ultimate bragging rights.

While Cena has managed to define an era in the way Hogan and Austin did before him, the Phenom has been the company's go-to guy for the past 25 years. In much the same way as new talents need to go through John Cena to be thought of as an all-time great, guys like Cena and Austin similarly need to share a stage with the Deadman to cement their own legacies.

Plus, with the streak gone, Mark Calloway will probably not feel as pressured to put Cena over, meaning the result of the match would be far less predictable and therefore far more exciting.
