The Undertaker reveals reason behind not working more with 'good guy' John Cena in the WWE
The Undertaker said that around the 2000s both he and John Cena were babyfaces (good guys), so, a feud between them would not have made any sense.
Even though The Undertaker and John Cena were two of the biggest names in the Ruthless Aggression era, they rarely crossed paths. As the Phenom pointed out in his ‘Undertaker: The Last Ride’ documentary series, the two have fought each other only twice in singles matches in major WWE PPVs. The duo faced each other for the first time at Vengeance 2003 when John Cena was a middle card superstar and lost the match. The two crossed paths again at WrestleMania 34, where Undertaker once again came out victorious. However, in the documentary series, The Undertaker said that he didn’t like his WrestleMania 34 match as it was too short.
