WrestleMania 33: 10 WWE Booking Steps To John Cena Vs The Undertaker
4. The Stakes Are Raised
The next week, Cena kicks off the show, dropping another promo about why he's not mad at Taker for blindsiding him - he's excited! This is gonna be a match for the ages, and if you know anything about John Cena (JACK!) then you know that he's going out there to win, he's going out there to do his legacy proud, and he will not rest until his hand is raised and he can get back to the business of landing his 16th world title.
Suddenly, out comes none other than Vince McMahon! "Good to see you, boss..." smirks Cena uncertainly, before Vince says he's here to make a statement himself. He's sick of hearing about John Cena's mission to break Ric Flair's title. He thinks this match needs an added impetus. "Cena, if you are serious, prove it to me! If you can't beat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, you will never get another shot at a world title in this company."
Vince's theme hits, he does his cocky little swagger-walk away, Cena looks serious and the crowd does a big 'OOOOOH!' The stakes have just been raised, ladies and gentlemen.
