The Undertaker vs John Cena had become a dream match following the latter’s rise to the top of the roster. The duo had wrestled a bunch of matches back when Cena was a mid-card guy on SmackDown in 2003. As WrestleMania 34 loomed closer in early 2018, John Cena challenged The Undertaker to a match at The Show of Shows.

Cena grew frustrated when The Deadman didn’t respond and began berating him as the show came closer. Cena also made it clear he was mad at The Undertaker for not answering the challenge. The match did happen at WrestleMania though. John Cena had lost all hope when The Undertaker suddenly appeared and the match finally kicked off.

The Undertaker defeated John Cena in less than three minutes in what was a quick squash. Fans were aware The Undertaker wasn’t in the best shape of his life but no one had imagined that The Phenom would dispose of John Cena in such quick fashion. The Undertaker was 53-years-old at the time of the match.
