As per the report, it’s not Kurt Angle. But alas, hasn’t the WWE Universe heard that before? While that report can’t be dismissed entirely, it’s quite evident that Vince McMahon has something brewing in his lab.

John Cena is the Face of the WWE. He’s a modern day Hulk Hogan. A living breathing Superman if there was one. He is The Champ, and indeed, his storied WWE career has had everything.

He’s a 16 Time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and faced off at WrestleMania against the likes of The Rock, Edge, Big Show, Batista, HHH, The Undertaker and many more at the show of shows.

The WWE fans and John Cena have a love-hate relationship. The Cenanation Leader certainly has proved himself with excellent matches as being a card-carrying member of an Elite group of WrestleMania main-eventers.

So like Superman, what do you get for the man who has everything? Here are 5 Mystery Opponents John Cena could be facing at WrestleMania 35.

#5 The Undertaker

Most of the WWE Universe remember the quick match that John Cena had with the Undertaker at WrestleMania 34. Some would say it was too quick. With Undertaker already have put Roman Reigns over, maybe its time to pass it back to Mr. Hustle, Loyalty and Respect.

John Cena is one of the most decorated WWE champions of all time. While he’s only 41, he’s still relatively young. Could be the man to retire The Phenom at WrestleMania? A recent picture from The Undertaker’s Instagram account suggested that he was in excellent health and shape.

As of right now, The Undertaker doesn’t have an opponent at WrestleMania 35. Neither is he scheduled to be on the card. John Cena lost their last encounter. It’s unknown whether The Undertaker will ever come back to WrestleMania as time may not be on his side.

Perhaps, it’s time to do the right thing.

#4 Mustafa Ali

A recent import from 205 Live, Mustafa Ali has shown the world that he can hang with the best. His matches with Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe were excellent and his high flying manoeuvres thrill the likes of the WWE Universe.

While some WWE fans may be saying that Kofi Kingston stole his thunder, Mustafa Ali will have time going forward. KofiMania is sweeping the WWE and there’s no need for WWE to force an opponent down the throats of the WWE Universe.

While he is scheduled to be part of the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, that doesn’t mean he can’t have a second match. WWE Superstars from the past like Bret Hart, Daniel Bryan, and others have had wrestle twice on the same card on the same night.

John Cena vs Mustafa Ali would be a classic throwback to Braun vs Speed or Veteran vs upstart. Perhaps, Mr. McMahon has something special planned up his sleeve.

#3 Dean Ambrose

Yes, another left-field choice. WWE has made it very clear that Dean Ambrose is leaving WWE after WrestleMania. Despite Roman Reigns returning and a brief reunion with The Shield, Dean Ambrose has decided to move on.

While WWE has made attempts to keep him with the company, it seems like the lunatic fringe has made up his mind. Where’s he off to next? Some pro-wrestling fans would love to say AEW but that is a fantasy in itself at this point.

Considering that there are no concrete WWE storylines for either John Cena or Dean Ambrose, putting them in a match together might be a great way for Dean Ambrose to exit the WWE.

Like some other opponents of John Cena, Dean Ambrose has a much more agile style and could compliment The Champ.

The Ironman of the WWE vs. The Doctor of Thuganomics…I can dig it!

#2 Bobby Lashley

Ever since Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE Universe, he’s had a lacklustre run. While the matches have been good at times, the creative choices didn’t suit him at all. Bobby Lashley was desperate for a match with Brock Lesnar but Vince McMahon seemed to have other plans.

Before you state that he’s already booked in a match with Finn Balor, does anyone actually want to see that? WWE fans would rather Finn Balor’s Demon character take on The Undertaker. Essentially, it would leave Bobby open for a match.

Heck, even the Intercontinental Championship need not be on the line. A week before WrestleMania 35, he could easily drop the belt on Monday Night Raw. Considering the recent treatment of the IC Title, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that might happen.

Like Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley could bring his MMA skills into a match with John Cena. It would offer John Cena a very powerful opponent who could match him inside a WWE ring.

#1 Kurt Angle

I do not care what Triple H or Vince McMahon thinks. Kurt Angle should be John Cena’s opponent at WrestleMania 35. It’s what the WWE Universe wants and what they need for the showcase of the immortals in 2019.

As John Cena made his debut back in 2002 on SmackDown, it’s fitting that the Olympic Gold Medalist would actually have his final match with Mr. Hustle, Loyalty and Respect. Like any good movie, It’s Kurt Angle’s career coming full circle.

With all due respect to Baron Corbin, he’s not the right man for the job. It should be John Cena. While Kurt Angle can’t move the way he once did, he can certainly bring the house down with this match.

While athleticism is required from both parties, it should be noted that this match is going to be running on pure emotion. Whatever drawbacks there may be, it will be negated by the crowd’s response to it.

John Cena vs Kurt Angle, WrestleMania 35. Will it happen? We’ll find out soon.
