The Undertaker vs. John Cena Rumored as a WWE WrestleMania 32 Main Event

The injury to Seth Rollins gives WWE an opportunity to think outside of the box and give a young star or two a serious run in one of the main event slots. Or WWE could choose the path of least resistance and tentatively pencil in John Cena vs. The Undertaker for WrestleMania 32 in April. 

Citing a report from PWInsider.com, Marc Middleton of WrestlingInc.com wrote the two Superstars are—at least for the time being—options for one of the main events of the biggest show of the year.

According to Middleton, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer also questioned whether a WWE source was trying to throw him off the scent when telling him Cena and The Undertaker have other angles lined up for WrestleMania. Meltzer labeled the tip a possible "red herring."

First, Randy Orton suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out for months. Then, Rollins tore his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus, thus ruling him out for WrestleMania as well. Those are two potential headliners out of the equation, leaving WWE scrambling to find alternatives.

Cena currently remains off for an extended break as well but is advertised for a live event on Dec. 26 at Madison Square Garden. Depending on when or if he chooses to avenge his United States Championship defeat to Alberto Del Rio, Cena would be open for a major WrestleMania storyline.

For his part, The Undertaker appears to be locked in a feud with Bray Wyatt after Wyatt's promo, in which he claimed to have absorbed the powers of both the Deadman and Kane:

That rivalry could be wrapped up by Survivor Series or Royal Rumble, however.

When The Undertaker was still wrestling on a regular basis, he was often vying for the World Heavyweight Championship on SmackDown, while Cena was battling for the WWE title on Raw, which kept the two separated.

The last time Cena and The Undertaker faced off in a singles match at a pay-per-view was Vengeance in 2003, so in that respect, a head-to-head clash between the two would be somewhat fresh.

Cena vs. The Undertaker wouldn't be a bad option at WrestleMania so long as it's not used as the main event, which should be reserved for the current generation of Superstars in order to showcase the future of the company.
