Will WrestleMania 34 finally be the time we see John Cena vs. The Undertaker? WWE must have something huge in mind, that's for sure, because they're giving away Cena vs. Roman Reigns (a match that could headline 'Mania itself) at No Mercy. Yes, the so-called 'B' pay-per-view is getting the big one.

Cena vs. Reigns is one of the bigger matches WWE were yet to pull the trigger on, so it's fascinating they're choosing to do so on an event predicted to be throwaway. This is exactly the kind of match that could have headlined SummerSlam, but it's happening at No Mercy instead. It's just a bit better than Cena vs. Baron Corbin, isn't it?

Cena opened SummerSlam against Corbin and Reigns was a bit-part in the main event Fatal-4-Way for the Universal Title. Going up against one another represents a step in the right direction for both. The hype is real, because this is genuinely one of the biggest matches WWE could present right now.
