John Cena Will Make or Break Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 30

Sunday night at WrestleMania, the fate of one of WWE's brightest young stars will be in the hands of its top dog when Bray Wyatt takes on John Cena in one of the event's most anticipated bouts. Both performers have brought their very best to a story that has been one of the best on the road to WrestleMania, and they are now tasked with delivering a match that backs up the hype.

Wyatt's promo work has been exceptional. The conviction with which he delivers his words is what sets him apart from others. He believes the words he says, and it shines through every time he talks. The quality of the promos has made him one of the most intriguing and captivating speakers since 2014 Hall of Famer Jake "the Snake" Roberts.

His in-ring work over the last year has improved rapidly, leading to an outstanding match with Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble, a couple of candidates for match of the year against The Shield and a series of fun squash matches with Kofi Kingston. He has exhibited an explosive offense in those matches, and it has seriously improved the quality of his ring work.

Wyatt is red-hot heading into WrestleMania 30. Luckily for him, he has a dance partner who has a history of taking young, talented individuals with a ton of momentum and putting them over on big stages.

Over the last three years, Cena has been the measuring stick for determining just how far a Superstar will climb in WWE. He helped elevate CM Punk via a five-star classic in front of Punk's hometown crowd in Chicago and did the same with Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam last August. In both cases, he put them over via pinfall, and in both cases, they became significantly bigger stars as a result.

His name, his star power alone would be enough to elevate the talent, but Cena always seems to put his working boots on when he works with guys that are in a position to join him at the top of the card.

How he approaches the match on April 6 will determine not only the success of the bout itself but also the entire angle.

Contrary to popular belief, Wyatt does not have to win the match. In today's world of professional wrestling, whether one wins or loses has very little impact on anything. What matters is the perception fans have of a Superstar. If Superstars are treated like stars, fans will treat them like stars. Case in point: Dolph Ziggler's seemingly endless string of losses compared to the reception he receives from the audience.

If Cena leans heavily on the "Five Moves of Doom" and dispatches of Wyatt easily, displaying the same Superman-like tendencies that earned him the scorn of fans across the globe some eight years ago, the entire program would have been for naught. Cena would still be in the same position he was heading into the match, and Wyatt would lose a tremendous amount of heat and momentum.

A competitive loss for Wyatt in which he shines, hitting his signature offense and really putting Cena in jeopardy, would go a long way in showing that he was on the level of the top star in the sport on the grandest stage wrestling has to offer.

Of course, a win over Cena in which Wyatt shines immediately elevates him to headliner status. Though, again, a win is not absolutely necessary.

Sunday night at WrestleMania 30, Bray Wyatt will take to the biggest stage he has ever performed on. He will be joined by one of the best big-match performers in recent history, a Superstar who laughs in the face of criticism, delivers above and beyond expectations more times than not and has a history of putting over young stars for the betterment of the industry.

Wyatt should be in good hands against Cena on Sunday night. If he does his part, expect the leader of the terrifying, twisted Wyatt Family to be one of the most talked-about Superstars on the WrestleMania broadcast.
