12/15 Question of the Day: Should The Undertaker face John Cena or Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 26? VOTE IN THE POLL

-- At 6:30 p.m., Torch readers were voting 50 percent in favor of Cena, 45 percent for Shawn Michaels, and 5 percent for the green party's "Other" vote.

-- Michael McGivern, Torch reader: I voted for John Cena to face Taker at WM26. The only reason why I truly believe that is because I just don't know how you can top last year's battle. Cena-Taker in a big match environment is something we truly haven't seen before. Sequels are almost never as good as the original. Whether it's a wrestling match, a blockbuster movie, or new Coke, it's tried and true.

I think it's obvious after last night's Raw that they know where they're headed. There was plenty of intrigue over "could Michaels end the streak last year?" and certainly that would only increase this year, but how can they top the story told in that match? They left everything, every bag of tricks, out there in Houston. Maybe they want to do it as the penultimate challenge to see how they can truly top perfection.

They teased a Cena match at the big MSG show, and now Cena vows not to lose until he regains the title. Is this a quest that goes on until Mania to face the champ Taker? Does Cena get the belt back in an Elimination Chamber in February? What about Michaels? The general thought is a match against Hunter, while I still don't rule that out, I think they might want to save that for Shawn's final match.

-- Alex Mobley of Louisville, Ky.: I didn't write a Reax for Raw, but I just want to say the only thing good from that night was Shawn Michaels challenging The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. I am one of the many who do not like John Cena's character and I know that if he faces The Undertaker, he will break his streak and I do not want John Cena to be the man to break the streak. I think that with the history between Michaels and Taker, it's only fitting to have Michaels face him and break the streak.

-- Spencer Parente of Boston, Mass.: Cena should be the one to face Taker at WrestleMania if only for the fact it would be a guaranteed Cena loss. A half-brained writer may be able to craft a decent feud with Cena not being able to regain the title against Shamus and the only way he feels he can redeem himself is by breaking Undertaker's streak. Also, HBK vs. Undertaker Round 2 may spoil the perfect match they had the year before. Shawn should be spending his time - and what WrestleManias he has left - elevating young stars.
