10 Incredible Wrestling Storylines That Will NEVER Happen

There was a time when the undisputed figureheads of the world's biggest wrestling promotions were John Cena (WWE) and Hiroshi Tanahashi (NJPW). Nowadays, that prestige is still present in both wrestlers.

Cena is semi-retired, but his appearances always spark excitement. In contrast, Tanahashi is, while no longer at the top of the card, still an active part of New Japan and one-third of the Never Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

Both stars have had a litany of dream matches, with Cena battling against the likes of The Rock, Triple H, and Randy Orton, while Tanahashi has battled with folk like Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Kenny Omega.

With them being such big names and the former faces of their respective companies, you know a story between them would be massive. Still, while the idea of these icons clashing is awesome, there's close to no chance that it will ever happen.

Cena only wrestles on rare occasions and always with WWE (naturally). While Tanahashi is still very active, he's never had any attention from the US-based company, and it's unlikely that he will get it anytime soon.
