10 Openers That Would Start WrestleMania 31 With A Bang

10. John Cena vs. Rusev

Unless Daniel Bryan is able to defeat Roman Reigns at Fast Lane, we know that the main event of WrestleMania 31 will see Reigns challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This means John Cena, the perceived top dog in the company, will not be headlining the biggest show of the year, so it's important to put his match in the right spot so he still draws the right amount of attention. Rusev and Cena are set to square off in a couple of weeks at Fast Lane, but there's a good chance their feud will continue for another month, especially if Cena ends up being the first person to pin or submit Rusev in a match. It would be even more exciting if they were fighting for the United States Championship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbRqq2pURxg Fans always complain about the midcard title not feeling important anymore, so what better way to give the belt a little boost than to have one of the biggest stars in the company pursue it? Cena doesn't have to win the title, but if he was fighting Rusev with the US Championship on the line in the first match of the night, it would definitely make people pay attention.
