The Game and The Deadman have been on the shelf for quite some time now. Wrestlemania season is upon us, and these two should be making a return pretty soon. Both of these men are two of WWE's biggest stars ever, and their returns should be worth looking forward to, because they both have some unfinished business to take care of:
Triple H: At the Extreme Rules pay per view last year, HHH was destroyed by Sheamus, and he's been on the shelf ever since. Now of course we all know The Game is recovering from surgery, and he did wrestle Alberto Del Rio at a WWE Fan Appreciation show not to long ago, but he hasn't made his full-time return to TV yet.
We all know Triple H will be gunning for Sheamus when he returns. Sheamus has enjoyed a lot of success during HHH's absence. He's had another WWE Championship run, and he won the King Of The King. King Sheamus has been on role, but I'm very interested to see how the inevitable feud with Triple H and Sheamus will play out when The Game returns.
I think Triple H will return at the Royal Rumble. Sheamus could be on a role, as he tosses out every wrestler in his path, and then HHH's music hits. The Game could be the roadblock that prevents Sheamus from main eventing Wrestlemania, and the feud between these two will resume. It's hard to tell when a one on one match between these two will take place. I'm sure both of these men will be in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber, so seeing these two lock up in a one on one match at this pay per view doesn't seem like a realistic possibility. Then there's Wrestlemania. Will these two go at it again on the grandest stage of them all? If this does happen again, then I think Sheamus would need to pick up the win. Going against The Game at Wrestlemania last year was a great opportunity for Sheamus, but I don't think just wrestling HHH is going to be enough this time. If Sheamus is going to be established as one of WWE's top future heels, then a win against Triple H at Wrestlemania could do wonders for him. To tell you the truth, HHH is a 13 time world champion. He really doesn't NEED to come out on top in this feud.
As far as Triple H's status after the feud goes, it's kind of hard to tell what might happen. I'm sure HHH will be involved in some WWE Championship feuds, and I think there's a good chance he could get number 14 in 2011. Triple H is getting older, and his body might not be able hold up much longer, so it'll be interesting to see how Triple H's tenure on Raw 2011 will go.
The Undertaker: The last time we saw The Deadman, he was being buried alive by Kane(with the help of Nexus). The feud with Kane wasn't that great, but you can be sure these two will resume their heated rivalry when Taker returns.
The Deadman's streak has become THE main attraction at Wrestlemania over the past couple of years, and I don't think Taker is going to miss Mania 27. There's just no way it can happen. But if the Taker/Kane feud is to resume, then there's the possibility of a third Wrestlemania match between these two. Would you really want to see Taker VS Kane part III at the big show? I know I wouldn't. It's been done before, and I don't think these two are capable of putting on a classic at their age.
If Taker returns after the Rumble, then there's a strong possibility that he will be in the Smackdown World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber, and I'm sure Kane will be in there with him. So when can the match or matches between these two occur? As I said before, I wouldn't want to see these two wrestle at Wrestlemania again. Taker's streak is something special, and seeing him defeat Kane at the big show AGAIN would be such a letdown. Maybe WWE should put this feud off until after Wrestlemania? It's not the late 90's or 2004. All of the luster and mystique for a Taker/Kane feud isn't there anymore, so I don't think it would hurt to wait. Taker could stalk Kane for a while, and then kane would eventually have to agree to face him in a match.
As far as Taker's future goes, it's hard to tell what could happen in 2011. Taker has been VERY injury prone over the past couple of years, and he's not getting any younger. Sure, he might have a couple more World Heavyweight Championship reigns, but we probably won't see him on Smackdown that much, especially when it comes to wrestling.
With all that said, I have two big questions for everyone:
Who's return are you anticipating more? The Undertaker or Triple H?
Who will have the bigger impact in 2011?
I have to say I'm more excited about Triple H's return. The feud with Sheamus can be something to look forward to, because their Wrestlemania 26 match was very good, and seeing someone kayfabe put Triple H on the shelf is very rare, so it'll be interesting to see how this upcoming feud will unfold. When it comes to Taker, the only thing to look forward to as of now is his Wrestlemania match. The thought of seeing another kane VS Taker match doesn't excite me at all.
I also think Triple H will have the bigger impact, because there are so many questions that need to answered as far him being a Raw superstar goes. Will he be involved with the Nexus storyline? Will he feud with CM Punk at some point? Now that Randy Orton is a face/tweener, will he bury the hatchet with his number one rival? Triple H might not be what he used to be in the ring, but he can still go, and he can surprise us with a good match every now and then.
Taker will most likely skyrocket to the top of the Smackdown's food chain when he returns, and yeah, he probably will become World Heavyweight Champion again at some point, but how long will he stick around this year? Taker is pretty banged up, and his age is catching up with him, so I'm sure he's going to be taking a lot of time off this year. I love The Deadman, but there's a good chance we won't see that much of him this year.
