Assuming Taker's legitimately not an option... I'd have Cena extend his storyline search to NXT. Ultimately ending in a Cena vs. Richochet match at Mania. They'd set it up like: After visiting other brands, Cena issues an open challenge, to be answered at WM 34. Ricochet comes out and challenges him at the event...just as Cena did to Kurt Angle back in 2002. No matter the ending, Ricochet goes back to NXT with notoriety, if not moved up to the main roster altogether. Alternatively, they could do the same thing with Adam Cole, if they wanted to do straight face vs. heel. We don't need selfish john burying NXT. Yeah, well, at this point they might as well reveal Taker sooner rather than later, if he was indeed the plan all along. Otherwise, they've gotten themselves in quite a corner.

Nothing on here about him being rumored for a mania match, or full time return?
Are we as a forum slipping?
Or was that bit BS just to make his injury more noteworthy?

Cena is facing taker at mania. I cant believe anyone thought this mysterio match was going to happen. They are just stretching the storyline out to get past fastlane and to give smackdown something interesting leading up to wrestlemania.

Johnny Gargano could be a possibility or maybe in my dreams, Neville returns and becomes Cena's opponent.

If 'Takers truly not an option and Mysterio is out, why not just up the program with Elias? Or have Cena inadvertently cost someone like Rollins or Balor a match and start a feud? Or just send in Braun? There's always Ziggler too. Point is there's a whole slew of options. Obviously Dean's gonna be there somehow regardless of what ridiculous desperation he's playing up. As if I e of the GMs wouldn't put a 6 time world champion on the WrestleMania card. Audiences might not be as savvy as the once were, but they aren't that dumb.

Good Lord dude, the mind may be willing, but the body is obviously not. Hang it up.

Why not the wrestling machine Shane Macmahaan. The build that would need definitely isn't gonna materialize, but that'd be one the biggest names over on SD I would support, outside of Jinder. They've had Taker and Styles carry his behind at Mania, why not have Cena do it?

Rey Mysterio has real bad luck when it comes to injuries these past couple of years

Why is everyone saying taker isn't an option for cena?

Damn. I wonder what they'll do with Cena now? Most people wouldn't want to see it, but I'd love Cena vs Goldberg. I'd never considered that but I'm intrigued by the idea. That would depend on money, Goldberg's schedule and whether or not he's kept himself in good shape.

In all seriousness, this is disappointing. Rey looks amazing at the RR and I for one was excited about him returning. I was bored with him during his last run. But absence made the heart grow fonder. But I guess this is why we can't have nice things.

Sucks that Rey is hurt and more then likely will push back his return but with that said still believe that Cena/Taker is a LOCK to happen at Mania,no way would they have Cena name drop Taker a week ago if that wasn't the plan.
If for some odd reason Taker really can't go I like as someone else pointed out earlier of Cena having and open challenge at Mania and having a surprise opponent like maybe Goldberg,Jeff Hardy or a fresh talent from NXT like Cole,Black,Almas,Gargano..ect

I personally have no desire to see Cena vs Rey. Or even Cena vs Taker for that matter.
The only way I'd want to see Taker return is if he dropped the Deadman gimmick and they played off the fact that he is aging. Have a top heel call him out. He doesn't respond because he's retired and has no interest in coming back. But the heel who called him out doesn't take "no" for an answer. So they show up at his house. He threatens them but it doesn't get physical. Then said heel confronts Michelle at the gym. She's frightened. Then the next week on RAW or SD, the heel is walking to the ring and Taker runs out and they fight. Heel gets the upper hand. This causes Taker to accept the challenge.
Then at WM Taker fights till he can't fight no more. And just when it looks like he has nothing left, he pulls out one last move for the win. Sorta like WWE's version of Logan, but without the clone and dying.

It sucks that he got hurt, but I can’t say I’m upset in the least that he won’t be coming back.

Why is everyone saying taker isn't an option for cena? I read that’s he’s not working Mania. Not saying what I read is true. I find it hard to believe they’d even have Cena challenge taker if that wasn’t the match.

I banded a similar idea around when the rumour he wasnt done started, I had Undertaker return as the ABA Undertaker as its more human but we dont get the weirdness of calling him Mark Calloway. I think by leaving the hat and coat in the ring was the death of the deadman character rather than the departure of the Undertaker, then he went and turned up at raw as deadman 'Taker so I dont know anymore...
