2. John Cena

Twenty-one victories at WrestleMania and not one came against the biggest star of the past 12 years. It would seem like such an obvious move to have John Cena challenge the streak, but WWE never pulled the trigger.

We all saw the reaction Lesnar got for his win. There could have been a reluctance on WWE’s part to have Cena go over. The negativity he continues to get from a majority of the audience would have gone into hyperdrive had it happened.

Would that have been such a bad thing, though? Cena’s act is becoming stale and predictable, if it hasn’t reached that stage already. A heel turn would likely come from a win over Undertaker, so at least it would liven things up and make for some compelling television months down the road.

Cena isn’t going anywhere. He’s a WWE lifer who doesn’t come off as someone who continuously fights the urge to branch off and explore outside interests.

He’s the Hulk Hogan of his generation, overcoming adversity as much as he breathes in air.

“Rise Above Hate” would become “Rise Above The Dead.”

1. Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker would have been the ultimate passing-of-the-torch. One of the most successful gimmicks of all-time would die while the other would be strapped to a jet pack and sent soaring into the stratosphere.

“The Eater of Worlds” standing toe-to-toe with “The Lord of Darkness” has the feel of a WrestleMania moment. Undertaker loves to play mind games, but against Wyatt, he’d be getting a taste of his own medicine.

The element of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan being ringside would further add to the drama. Undertaker has rarely had to deal with multiple threats, so the dynamic of the match would be far different than anything he’s encountered in quite some time.

A kiss on the forehead and a visit from Sister Abigail signifies the end of one era and the beginning of a new one.

Night-night, Undertaker. Sayonara, Streak.

What could have been.
