1. John Cena

The dream match. The match that must happen before The Deadman hangs up his boots. 'Taker missed facing many legends at WrestleMania before the streak hit its stride (Stone Cold, The Rock, Sting, and Hulk Hogan were all possible at one time or another) but there has to be a reason why in the modern era he has not crossed paths with big match John.

It has almost seemed an inevitability since a fresh faced Cena bumped into 'Taker backstage after his debut match ('Taker was Undisputed Champion at the time) that the roles would reverse one day and Cena would be there for the Phenom’s last stand. Many believe WrestleMania 32 in Texas was scheduled to be the night, until Cena’s unfortunate injury ruled that out. Cena has been a polarizing figure for years but this is the appropriate spectacle match that would see 'Taker go out as he deserves to: On top.

The match does not need the WWE title’s involvement but it would not be a shock to see Undertaker become champion prior to Orlando and throw the gauntlet down to Cena. If he wants to tie Ric Flair as a 16 time champion, he will have to do it by retiring one of the greatest that ever lived. Undertaker entering one last time, as WWE Champion, and retiring in defeat to Cena, would be a true WrestleMania moment - and would mark a perfect ending to a spectacular career.
