Cena vs Balor would be an amazing match for Wrestlemania 33

The first Smackdown Live superstar on this list, John Cena vs Finn Balor has been a dream match for fans since Balor first joined NXT. Now that Balor has the chance to return to either brand, he could easily show up on Smackdown Live and challenge Cena to a Wrestlemania 33 match.

Sure, Cena should probably be facing the Undertaker or competing for a world title at Wrestlemania 33, but if WWE decide to go a different direction with Cena, why not pit him against the Demon King?

Much like Cena vs Styles at Summerslam, Cena could put over an up and coming star on a big stage, and Balor would arguably become a top star once again on the main roster without the need for another world title win straight away, as some fans may reject Balor if he gets another quick rise to the gold.

Considering Cena’s proven ability to steal the show with indy stars (Punk, Styles, Rollins), Balor and Cena would most likely tear the house down on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Whether WWE would turn Balor heel to face Cena or whether they would keep it face vs face, either way Cena vs Balor would be an amazing feud for the Demon King when he returns.
