What are some WrestleMania matches that are you surprised haven't happened? I'm not really talking about dream matches, but ones that could have easily happened but never did? I know there have been permutations of some of these matches, but here are a few I was thinking of today to get this thing started:
Cena vs. Randy Orton Cena vs. Edge Cena vs. CM Punk Cena vs. Angle Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels Triple H vs. Ric Flair

The Rock vs. Shawn Michaels The Rock vs. Undertaker Stone Cold vs. Undertaker Chris Jericho vs. Undertaker
I suppose Rock vs. Shawn wouldn't have been as easy as some others due to HBK's injury, but given who they are I've always found it surprising that they've never gone at it.

It was promoted on TV but in the end they went with Sid/Hogan and Savage/Flair(which was a classic). Shame though we never got Hogan/Flair in a Mania setting.

I personally don't feel a certain match has to take place at WrestleMania for it to be special, or to add to a WrestleMania card. Some of the greatest matches people would want to see happen at this event took place at other events, and were just as good, if not, better than if they would have taken place at this event. For example, AJ Styles vs. Finn Balor happened on whatever PPV it happened on as a last minute change, and it was great. No made-up story to go into it, no "injuries" for the announcers to beat us over the head about, it was just a great match. And I saw people on the YouTube video of it commenting it should have happened at WrestleMania. For what? It's just another venue with pyro. So for me, I don't think about what matches haven't happened at WrestleMania that should or surprised haven't, because that's not the only show I watch, I watch all the shows. So while I do want to see great matches at this event, I also want to see great matches at Backlash, at Fast Lane, Elimination Chamber, Hell In The Cell, etc.

Cena vs Punk should have been the main event of WM29 and Rock should have faced Taker.

Should have done Sting vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania 31.
I can't fathom that Undertaker and Sting worked the same event and didn't face each other. Sting/Triple H and Taker/Bray were both not necessary.

LOL I was at Mania 8 and I also saw Flair vs Hogan at a house show in the Rosemont in Chicago, it might have been their third or fourth match with each other. It was horrible! What did people think? Hogan wouldn't job out to Flair in the WWF back then and Flair wouldn't job to Hogan. The matches were due to have crappy chemistry.

Curt Hawkins vs The Undertaker
But honestly, i don't know how they missed the opportunity to do Goldust vs Cody Rhodes, few others i can think of are: - Randy Orton vs Edge - Bray Wyatt vs Luke Harper vs Erick Rowan - Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton vs Luke Harper. Because WHY THE HELL WASN'T HARPER IN THAT DAMN MATCH.

Was it ever explained why Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust didn’t end up happening at WrestleMania XXX?
Clearly the rumors were there from the dirtsheets and they dropped the titles at the Rumble, but went with the Stardust character instead.

Taker never facing Austin, Rock, Foley, Angle or Jericho at Mania.
I legitimately can’t think of anything else. Maybe HHH/HBK in a singles match?

Don’t know but Stardust vs. Goldust at Fastlane absolutely sucked so we lucked out not having it waste a spot on a Mania card.

It is genuinely the last great match from The Streak. If Rocks showing against Cena that year was any indication Rock/Taker would have been a disaster.

Cena vs The Undertaker when the streak was intact. The intrigue around that match would've been incredible....
Cena would have instilled fear like no other about breaking the streak.

*Cena/Taker at WM XXX would have been the biggest match of all time. *Flair/Hogan *HHH/HBK (One-on-One) *Edge/Christian *Orton/Edge (WM 23) *Hogan/Austin *Cena/Austin *Austin/Lesnar

Cena-Punk is the only one that comes to mind.
