John Cena vs The Undertaker. The undisputed king of the WWE vs the company's very conscience (shout out JR). Superman vs Batman. Day vs night. You get the picture. Whichever way you stroke it, this match is the very definition of a Big Deal, and if WWE books this right, it'll be a massive money-maker for them at their biggest event.

Here're ten simple but vital booking steps to making John Cena vs The Undertaker the knock-out, year-stealing feud it should be.

10. Taker For The Rumble

We know that Undertaker has been publicly advertised for this coming Monday's Raw in Los Angeles (presumably as a legend he's exempt from any brand exclusivity), so what better time to get the slow build rolling? While there doesn't need to be any kind of interaction between Cena and Taker yet, the seeds can most definitely be sown here, and the ignition point is simple: get Undertaker to announce his participation in the 2017 Royal Rumble match.

Taker hasn't been in a Rumble match for years now, and with his career finally looking likely to draw to an end soon, this would be a real headline-grabber that'd add even more star power to a Rumble that is shaping up to be absolutely stacked with names. So, on Monday night, Undertaker comes out, waxes lyrical about his career being in its twilight years, but stating that he wants one more shot at the Big One and that he'll be entering the Rumble in Dallas at the end of this month.
