10 Predictions For John Cena Returning To WWE

2. A Long Term Build With The Undertaker

In addition to foreshadowing the Reigns feud when Cena returns, WWE should also put down the ground work for an Undertaker feud.

A long build towards WrestleMania 33 makes sense. Just look at what it did for business when WWE promoted Rock-Cena a year out. A match with Taker is similar in magnitude. It is a dream match and it deserves an epic narrative.

The original expectation had been the two men meeting at WrestleMania 32. What now seems likely is doing the match at 'Mania 33. Surely there's no way Taker retires on a Shane McMahon match? And Taker is the one big name remaining for Cena to do business with.

Cena's return should include a mission statement on WrestleMania 33. He should say how much it hurt to miss 'Mania 32. As part of that, he can tease something with the Deadman for next year - a subtle statement on wanting the biggest star in the history of the event for 2017. The narrative can then unfold further through the rest of 2016, culminating in what should be one of the biggest Mania main events of all time.
