Would you be down for AJ/Cena/Taker at Mania

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

It was a discussion I was having with my boy at work and I told him if I could make a match at Mania it would be this.

It would be the closest thing we get to a Cena vs Taker match at Mania and one of the big high profile matches you can make.

Having these 3 in the match for the title would be a good hook and helps kill 2 birds with one stone in regards to annual Taker match and championship match.

Eh...I'd prefer Taker/Cena in singles. That three way sounds awesome, don't get me wrong, but I want a high profile Cena/Taker match.

Taker v Cena 1v1 with Styles getting his own marquee matchup with someone else

[mrbananagrabber]

Taker vs Cena is THE money match. No need to dilute it.

They have to do Undertaker/Cena 1 on 1 at Wrestlemania while they still can. It's too big of a match to miss out on.

That triple threat would be great for one of the post-Wrestlemania pay-per-views though if Undertaker is around for them.

[Deleted]

I don't want to ever see Taker wrestle again.

[bootytea]

Yeah, no more Taker would be much better.

If I had to have the old man come back, I would just keep it AJ Styles versus Undertaker..

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

AJ doesn't need to be in this match, regardless if he's the champ or not.

If he's taking the WWE title to WrestleMania, he can defend it against someone like Joe or Nakamura while Cena and Undertaker square off.

But I'd rather Taker/Cena be for the world title. Maybe if Styles retains at the Rumble then Undertaker can win it at Fastlane. Mania is a better venue for Cena to tie Ric Flair.

[berlynwright]

can be done, but singles matches are the ones that draw

AJ deserves a top match though, like Punk/Taker in 2013

[MAD TITAN]

No. Because it means Taker isn't getting pinned.

Plus, I've wanted Cena vs. Taker at Mania for a while now.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

It'd be a shame if they wasted AJ Styles in a 3 way like that. They;d simultaneously make a big money match people have been asking for in Cena v Taker and a guy whos wrestling better than anybody in the world right now and toss him in there for no reason.


they'll probably do it then

[Allie Kitsune]

No.

I want Cena/Taker.

Give me Miz/AJ in a ladder match at Mania.

If they do it right, Miz/AJ in a ladder match is an easy 5 Stars.

[RIHT]

I kind of wish Cena was interrupted by Undertaker and they did this at Royal Rumble. I'm fine with Cena vs. Taker for the title at WM, but also want AJ to put over a younger face for the belt at WM (can't really think of anyone else besides maybe Sami?).

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Hmm surprised at some of the responses. Especially the ones saying this would "waste AJ"

[cabbageboy]

SD is a bit light on top guys at the moment, especially with Ambrose essentially demoted to the IC title division. Given that Joe is basically out of NXT storylines at this point I would put him against AJ at WM, hopefully for the WWE title. I don't think Cena/Taker needs a belt involved. Oh and gee wouldn't that be the epic of all time had WWE not idiotically ended the streak? Imagine this one with Cena going for #16 and UT's streak on the line. With no streak at stake there's also no real need for a title.

Samoa Joe is one guy WWE could debut and have him be an immediate top guy. He has all sorts of history with Styles, and he is already known to most fans.

[Deleted]

I'd do Ambrose / Cena and Styles / Taker. No interest in Taker / Cena in any incarnation, especially with the title involved.

[Deleted]

AJ is great but Cena/Taker needs to be a single's match. They can do a triple threat with Styles on a major ppv. For WM? Just give me Cena/Taker.

[Rican]

I'm kind of torn on it. I would honestly prefer that it be a 1-1 match featuring any combination of the three, be it Taker/Cena, Taker/Styles or Styles/Cena. Any of those three would be a great match and a great story.

The problem I keep coming back to is that I just don't know what you logically build up to for the third man out to do at Wrestlemania. They are not gonna call up Joe or Nakamura this close to Mania and have them in a high profile Wrestlemania match when the majority of the audience has only gotten a short amount of time to get used to them. I kind of like the idea of Cena/Ambrose since it was teased and would also give Dean (who I can't figure out what he's doing this year) something to do, but I feel like they're not going to do a big face vs. face match at Wrestlemania unless it's for the title.

So I think the triple threat is the best way to feature all three guys in a logical way even if it dilutes it a little.

[Deleted]

I'm in the minority in that I have zero interest in Cena/Taker; since the Streak is over, it seems inevitable that the result is Taker putting over Cena as The Greatest Of All Time Ever Ever before riding off into the sunset. At least if the Streak were still around there'd be the whole "they're not seriously going to give this rub to Cena?" intrigue.

I'd love to think this, but when you start visualizing the show card, and you realize that Taker vs. Cena, Brock vs. Goldberg, Seth vs. Hunter, Big Show vs. Shaq, Jericho vs. Owens, whatever Roman ends up doing (probably either Finn or Braun), and at least one hyped Womens match, and you realize that you're already running out of marquee slots, and that AJ not being in this match means he's likely stuck in some multiman match, lucky to be on the show.

And yes, I do think Styles being the mix is more compelling in 2017 than Cena vs. a streak-less Undertaker.
