WrestleMania 33: 10 Matches That Should Have Happened

5. The Undertaker Vs John Cena

Time is running out for one of WWE's few remaining 'dream' WrestleMania matches, and with both men fit and (just about) healthy for this years show, there is a sense that a golden opportunity has been missed.

Allegedly an edict direct from Vince McMahon himself, the mega match between two company icons was scrubbed from the whiteboard at the start of this year as the company moved both men in completely different directions.

Once upon a time, the eventual contest between John Cena and The Undertaker would have been reliant on the gravitas of the fabled undefeated streak, but without the stipulation, Undertaker's very career could have been fair capital up against 'The Champ' in order to add unthinkable emotion to the blockbuster clash.

Had WWE elected to keep the championship on Cena at Elimination Chamber, the title would have provided an additional stipulation, though it would only be icing on the cake for the duo.

With Cena's decreasing schedule and Undertaker's deteriorating health, there are limited opportunities to promote the match, especially if it is to occur at the 'Showcase of the Immortals', where it rightfully belongs.
