3 Alternative Feuds for the returning Undertaker other than Brock Lesnar
After all those months of waiting and praying for Undertaker to return the moment finally seems to be arriving soon since he literally needs to come back now since there is only days left for WrestleMania.
The excitement of his return will be capped off with the choice of opponent that the WWE decides to put him up against. Several big names have been put into the mix as challengers for the streak but a clear name is yet to be revealed since Taker hasn’t made his return.
Though none has been finalized, Brock Lesnar’s name stands out from the rest as the favorite to face Taker at his own background. Though the two has locked horns in the past, the factors like Taker’s age, the newly found viciousness of Lesnar, Underdog Scenario and Paul Heyman add some more spark into the match if it eventually happens.
But apart from this predictable clash, there is still some talent in the roster that could benefit from being in the ring with Taker and could be a bigger threat to the streak than Lesnar.
So let’s take a look at alternative storylines that Taker could be put into apart from the Beast and his evil manager.
3. John Cena
Now this might be a long shot but it’s one worth taking.
In order for this one to materialize the WWE needs to end what they started at Elimination Chamber and put some sort of cap on the Bray Wyatt- John Cena situation. The best way to do that would be to give Cena a singles match against Bray Wyatt on Raw which could be ruined by Shield setting up a rematch between Wyatt Family and Shield at WrestleMania.
Cena, who will be left without any storyline after this could easily be pushed into a feud with The Undertaker because that’s the only thing that Cena hasn’t achieved after setting foot in the squared circle.
The career of John Cena will not be complete without a match against the Undertaker at WrestleMania and with the Phenom ageing with each second the WWE should clearly think about making it happen fast.
Negative reactions that Cena has been getting from a major portion of the crowd could also work in favor of the creative team as they could easily mask the fact that Taker’s return has been delayed so much.
This could also leave doubts on the streak continuing as well since Cena is a name that is destined to end it.
