I'd love for it to be Cena in an I Quit Match, but I just don't think that's where they're heading. Not with Cena having the WHC unless they decide to give Undertaker another "Thank You" title reign, or if they want to build the belt up even more.
I think Lesnar will fight Punk at the Rumble, then regardless of the outcome there he'll fight Undertaker at Wrestlemania. I could buy Brock beating Undertaker, there by giving Brock even more credibility as a monster and having Undertaker retire now that it isn't his yard anymore. I'm fine with that outcome, as I could see them deciding to retire the Streak at Wrestlemania XXX.

I THINK it will be Brock/Taker. I hope it will be Cena/Taker.

I'm going to go with Fella on this one.
As of right now, he doesn't have anything set in stone for when he returns, actually wants the match, and can match strength and agility with the Undertaker. Fella also won't take a hit in credibility from losing to Taker. He can come back from a valiant effort and move on to other things.
I think Sheamus could also give Taker a great potential last Mania match. I'd still like to see Taker vs D-Bry just cause of Taker's history with his mentor, but if that can't and probably won't happen, I'm on the Fella bandwagon.

It should be Cena. It'll probably be Sheamus, or some equally boring match up. I wouldn't be too upset over this. WWE needs to start putting their current stars over. Since the general consensus is that no one should break the streak, the best course of action would be to put some new guys over by having them look strong in a loss. Taker has been built up as such a legend that the prospect of hitting a single offensive move on him or being in the ring with him for 10 seconds and still be standing would be considered a rub.

I HOPE it's Cena. I mean, think about it, would anybody think that Brock has even the slightest chance at ending the Streak. There is no way WWE is going to give the Streak to a guy who's not a full-time wrestler and obviously has no passion for wrestling. Not to mention he walked out on them years ago and bad mouthed pro-wrestling multiple times while in UFC.
With Cena though, there's a huge chance they could give him the Streak. Yes, he's been the guy for 8 years and yes, he's already a full-fledged main eventer. But, all the more reason to gvie him the Streak to add to his legacy. There is no way they would give the Streak to a up and comer, or someone like Sheamus. Their going to give it to someone who they can trust, someone who they know will be around for awhile. Cena is that guy. After the matches he had with Shawn and Triple H (two other potential Streka-enders) who else can possibility do it? John Cena has proved time and time again that when it comes to the big one, he will manage to win. Well, that is probably the biggest match in his career that hasn't happened. And it's the only time (since Triple H is done) that I can see them ending the Streak. And I know there will be many people who are going to be against Cena, and there will be people who will think that "holy shit, Cena might win," even before the match starts. This is John Cena, the guy who's done it all, he always defies the odds, he always comes out of top.
And I can't think an end-game for Cena's World Title reign. Either they do a unification match, or they use it in a Cena/Taker match. Just imagine John Cena vs. Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship. There's no way WWE is giving the Undertaker a belt, considering he only works one match a year. And Taker is definitely not a man to vacant a belt, he'll lose it in a fight. So, that adds even more doubt in the fans mind, that this could very well be Taker's last Wrestlemania.
But than there's Lesnar, which I have no clue what they'll do with. On one hand, I want Cena/Taker at WM 30. But, if you do that what's Lesnar going to do. What they could do, and thisi s just me fantasy-booking, it put the WWE Championship on Lesnar. Yeah, I know he's a part-timer. But hear me out. Have him be in the WWE Championship Chamber match, and he wins the WWE Championship. Before that, have Daniel Bryan win the Royal Rumble. So now, you have Daniel Bryan a the Rumble winner challnged the "best incarnate" Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. Just imagine, there is no way that Bryan could win and beat someone like Brock Lesnar. That match would be fantastic.

That's true, but at this point, I'm more interested in the spectacle, rather than any rub someone can get from challenging the streak. If the superstar can't make me believe he stands a chance at breaking it, I have no interest in seeing him wrestle Undertaker at WrestleMania.

It just has to be Cena for Wrestlemania 30.
I have no desire for an Undertaker/ Lesnar match.

I would hope we'd get Cena vs Taker. I fear we'll get Taker/Brock and Cena fighting for Vince, rematching Bryan, or taking on a newly heel Sheamus.

I'd like it to be Cena too. Simply the biggest match for what could be his last one. I'd be prefer Taker win but I wouldn't mind Cena winning so long as he cheats to do it and it's the catalyst for a heel turn.

Cena is probably the biggest name, but I doubt they can resist the urge to have Cena end the streak.

As far as I know, Taker's never beaten Lesnar, so that story writes itself. The problem is that their previous matches were during the BikerTaker years, and WWE might no want to bring them up. Taker's beaten Cena, but during the afore mentioned BikerTaker period, so it might not count either in WWE's mind.

Cena.
I saw Taker/Brock in 2002, and they had better matches then than they can do now.

Cena can easily lose the WHC before Mania either in an Elimination Chamber, and the Royal Rumble, or at TLC. Sheamus, Ryback, Cesaro, Sandow, Miz, Mysterio, Christian, Ziggler, Bryan... lots of people around at the WHC level. In fact it might be the main reason Miz turned heel! Ok maybe not. But a man can dream.
Point is, Cena/Taker doesn't need the WHC. A submission or I Quit match would seem to be 100% in Cena's favor.

Brock all the way.
Cena/Taker would be one of those things where half of it is good. Either the match is good and promos suck or vice versa. Plus, I honestly don't see how you could build Cena/Taker to be good outside of 'I'm John Cena and I want to break the Streak', which what everyone says going up against him. With Brock, there's some back story with those two you could easily play into the feud and honestly, WWE wouldn't need to put as much work into it because hardcore fans already know of their beef.

I will say that if it can't be Cena or Lesnar, Sheamus would be a great third option. Assuming he doesn't turn heel by joining The Authority when he comes back, they could use his loss to Undertaker as the basis for a heel turn. As Daniel Bryan, if HE fought the Undertaker in his last match, the universe would be cut in half.

Lesnar would make more sense. Taker could then theoretically and realistically spend much of the match getting beat-down making it easier for him. I don't think Cena would gain anything through ending Taker's streak as he's undoubtedly beyond that now.

But a man can dream. Point is, Cena/Taker doesn't need the WHC. A submission or I Quit match would seem to be 100% in Cena's favor. In that case I really don't want Cena/Taker because Cena losing the WHC is bad for business. Cena should not lose the belt unless the titles are unified. Some of those talents are good enough to challenge for the WWE Title, while some of them might only end up further solidifying the WHC as A glorified midcard belt. Bad thing about this is that the WHC will possibly go back to being irrelevant once Cena is out of the title picture. And that does nothing for whoever wins the belt off of him. If someone like Miz were to win it, his match would be way down in importance behind Cena/Taker, the WWE Title match, Whatever Brock is doing, whatever Punk is doing and whatever HHH is doing (if he wrestles). The next WHC would just end up with another paper midcard reign and that does nothing for a guy like Miz, shiny new heel turn or not. This is why I've always said that Cena should keep the belt forever so that he and the WHC keep each other out of the way and everyone else can get a shot at the big boy belt.
