John Cena vs. Undertaker WrestleMania Feud Must Start at WWE Raw 25

There are many former Superstars and legends returning for Monday's 25th anniversary episode of WWE Raw, but many wrestling fans are focused on a possible confrontation between John Cena and The Undertaker.

Both Cena and Undertaker are scheduled for Raw 25, and the historic broadcast would be the perfect place to start their WrestleMania 34 feud.

While rumors and speculation via Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t WrestlingInc) have run rampant for weeks regarding a possible Cena vs. Undertaker feud, WWE Creative shouldn't waste any more time and must start subtly hinting at the blockbuster bout.

Cena will likely be given the stage during Raw 25 to cut a longer promo talking about what WWE means to him. During that segment, Undertaker should return for the first time since his loss to Roman Reigns and steal The Champ's spotlight.

Seeing Cena and Undertaker come face-to-face will generate a serious buzz around WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans. The company doesn't have to announce a Dream Match of this magnitude; the subtle tease is more than enough for wrestling fans to understand.

For Cena, the program would be the perfect opportunity for him to show an edge people aren't accustomed to seeing from him.

With many fans cheering Undertaker over Cena regardless of the backstory, the 16-time champion can start to make comments about The Deadman's age and inability to beat Reigns last year.

On the other hand, the 52-year-old has so much to prove. After taking the loss at WrestleMania 33 and leaving his hat, coat and gloves in the ring, he will be squaring off against Cena to show he still has what it takes to win on the biggest stage.

From a storytelling perspective, a feud between the two-part time legends makes sense, as neither will be at many episodes of Raw on the Road to WrestleMania. At a time in WWE where overkill and burnout are common, the WWE Universe will be thankful to have only a few segments during this long-term feud.

The first marquee segment between the men following Raw 25 should be Cena entering the Royal Rumble and looking strong. Eventually, the lights should dim, and as they come back on, Undertaker is standing in the ring.

Before he eliminates Cena, Undertaker should point to the WrestleMania sign and make his intentions clear.

The lights should dim again, and when they come back on, Undertaker is gone and all that's left is a sour-faced Cena. The WWE Universe would then be ready for one of the most important feuds of the year.
