Hulk Hogan and John Cena never had the opportunity to square-off

#8 Hulk Hogan vs John Cena

Imagine Cena defending the WWE Title against Hogan

Hulk Hogan and John Cena are arguably two of the biggest superstars from two different generations in WWE history and if WWE had ever booked the two men in a singles contest, then it would’ve definitely been historic and groundbreaking and would’ve also made the company a lot of money as well.

Back in 2006, WWE indeed had the opportunity of booking a potential dream match between Hulk Hogan and John Cena for SummerSlam, instead, Hogan went on to face-off against Randy Orton in what was his final WWE match, whereas, Cena competed in the main event of the evening later on in the night against Edge.

If Cena and Hogan had the opportunity of locking horns against each other then it would’ve replicated the Icon vs Icon match that took place between The Rock and Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X8.
