14. Why Has John Cena Never Challenged The Streak?
via: ytimg.com
There’s something very odd about The Undertaker’s legendary WrestleMania winning streak, and it revolves around John Cena. For whatever reason, John Cena – the top dog in the business and one of the biggest draws WWE has ever had – has never had a shot at breaking The Streak! Why is that? It may just seem like a matter of timing… but John Cena has been on several non-headline matches at WrestleMania, which would have given WWE the perfect opportunity to schedule him into a match with the Deadman. Not to mention, The Undertaker faced Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, and Roman Reigns… all while Cena was participating in mid-card matches at the Grandest Stage. This is where some insider speculation comes in. There have been rumors that John Cena was kept away from The Undertaker at WrestleMania for a number of reasons… one of them being that either one or both of these massive superstars had problems facing each other. But surely a couple of professionals like Taker and Cena would have understood the kind of money that match would have made, right?
There have been several times when The Undertaker has physically provoked Cena, too; Taker even gave Cena the Tombstone Piledriver once on Raw even though they were teammates, yet none of these altercations amounted to a proper feud. Apart from rumors of a backstage mandate against them having a feud, no one seems to know why this match has never been booked, even though it’s a dream match just waiting to happen. It would have been the marquee feud. So what’s the real story behind John Cena never facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania? Are those whispers in the wind truer than we tend to believe?
