WWE Rumors: John Cena to Face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32?
WrestleMania 32 is still a few months away, but the WWE is planning ahead due to a number of injuries on the roster that changed their plans. According to PWInsider via Wrestling News, WWE plans to have John Cena face The Undertaker at the company's biggest event in 2016.
It is noted that Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling News Observer received information from two different sources, with one saying that Cena will indeed face The Undertaker while the other says there are other plans for the two superstars. It is also said that at least two planned WrestleMania matches were changed because of the Seth Rollins injury.
Rollins suffered a torn right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus at a WWE Live Event in Dublin, Ireland in a match against Kane, per WWE.com. He is scheduled to have surgery this week and is expected to miss WrestleMania 32 because the recovery will be about six to nine months.
He adds to the list of main event superstars that will probably miss the big event in Dallas next year. Randy Orton is out for at least six months due to a shoulder injury while Daniel Bryan is still not cleared to wrestle due to concussion symptoms. Their absence forces the WWE to rely on part-time superstars to attract audience at WrestleMania 32, per Inquisitr.
The report noted that WWE wants to have at least 100,000 fans present at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington and bringing in the biggest names and booking dream matches at the event will draw the crowd. The Rock versus Triple H is now one of the matches scheduled for the event, but the original plan was to have Rollins turn face and go head-to-head with "The Game."
Wrestling News added that if the WWE goes on with the plan of Cena against The Undertaker, it would be one of the main event matches along with The Rock-Triple H matchup. As for how they will set up the match, the two superstars are currently in a separate direction.
"The Deadman" is in a feud with The Wyatt Family and is expected to face them along with Kane and two other partners in a four-on-four elimination match at Survivor Series. As for Cena, he is currently taking time off since he lost his U.S. title to Alberto Del Rio at Hell in a Cell.
The 15-time WWE champion is reportedly filming fitness-based reality game show for FOX, per Keith of Scott's Blog of Doom. According to What Culture, he is expected to be back as soon as possible. He is scheduled to return at a WWE live event show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Dec. 26.
