One of WWE’s biggest Wrestlemania’s biggest matches in 2018 is one that it apparently doesn’t plan to formally announce before the event. The company has been building to a confrontation between John Cena and The Undertaker for some time, yet with Wrestlemania 34 less than a day away, their matchup still isn’t officially on the card.
Undertaker and Cena are both Wrestlemania mainstays, although their roles in the company–particularly Undertaker–have been reduced from years past. Undertaker shared a cryptic message on Raw back in January, during which he rambled and listed off opponents he faced. He hasn’t been seen on TV since.
Cena, meanwhile, has had to take up the mantle of carrying the entire promotion of the match. With nothing else going on, he challenged Undertaker to a Wrestlemania match back in February. Since then, he’s routinely come out to cut one-sided promos which have gone nowhere, due to the lack of any response from his desired opponent.
WWE is a scripted business, and Cena hasn’t been spending time on TV for no reason. WWE’s own website has covered the possibility of such a match. With the company not as reliant on advanced pay-per-views buys as it once was, and Wrestlemania not needing any additional star power to attract viewers, it seems this will manifest itself as a “surprise” match during the event. It could potentially be Undertaker’s final match, so we expect him to win.
Wrestlemania takes place on April 8 at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on PPV and the WWE Network, live from New Orleans’ Superdome. It’ll be preceded by a Kickoff Show, making for a jam-packed evening of wrestling action.
