When the Undertaker returns....

[L@RISANO]

He got knocked out by the Shield earlier this year and has not been seen since then.
Will WWE forget that the attack ever happened and have Undertaker not acknowledge the occurence?
or Will Undertaker return and take them out like Kane did to the Wyatts after filming See No Evil 2 and move on?
or Are the Shield the Undertaker's next Wrestlemania opponents?

 

[BaconBits]

I highly doubt the Shield and Undertaker will be anywhere near each other when he returns. They only put the beatdown to him as a convenient way to write him off television while building the Shield as a dominant heel faction.

Now that faction is clearly in the process of splitting up. There is no need to revisit a minor event to build a feud that doesn't really make sense.

 

[Mongoose McQueen]

Well The whole Shield is dead IMO. I have NO interest in seeing them reignite this feud.

 

[MizisAwesome]

They could revisit it by having Roman win the Rumble and choose to cash in his contract for a match against Taker at Mania and end the streak.

 

[WarroBODFan]

They could revisit it by having Roman win the Rumble and choose to cash in his contract for a match against Taker at Mania and end the streak.

Doesn't really fit in with the planned Roman Reigns face turn though. I don't see Reigns carrying on any sort of heel role when his singles career begins, especially if he begins feuding with Ambrose.

 

[Gavschenko]

It will just be like when the nexus took out taker, when he comes back they will never mention it, lol why would reigns beat the streak, Taker has to feud with some that people actually care about imo he should face cena.

 

[bioshock]

They already said on Raw the Rumble winner will face the WWE champion at Wrestlemania.

The rate WWE has been going I don't see Undertaker facing the Shield, after Punk beat the Shield in a 3 vs 1 match, how does that make it a big challenge for Undertaker now? WWE kinda screwed that up with Punk winning.

 

[Slash-LN]

WWE logic generally dictates that we are supposed to forget anything that has happened in the past unless they tell us to remember it.

I have a feeling that's the route they will take when The Undertaker returns. He'll probably just return and focus on whoever his Wrestlemania opponent is going to be. No one in the Shield is a big enough name to face him at Wrestlmania so they probably won't go down the route of that match happening.

 

[King_of_Swing1520]

im thinking that cena will move out of the title picture for mania and face taker and challenge the streak, hopefully losing. god knows cena doesnt need to the win but knowing the wwe i wouldnt be surprised if they went that way.

 

[Aquaman6686]

As others have said, nobody in The Shield is anywhere remotely close to a big enough name to have the honor of facing Undertaker at WrestleMania. The Shield as a group isn't even big enough for that. Undertaker should come back and focus soley on whoever his WrestleMania opponent will be. The names John Cena and Brock Lesnar keep getting thrown around, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying to the wrestling gods above that it will be Chris Jericho. Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho would immediately make WrestleMania 30 a must-see show in my book. We've seen Lesnar vs. Taker half a dozen times already, and I could never see Lesnar as a legitimate threat to The Streak. Cena, I'd be terrified that Vince would actually have him end it, but his matches with Taker have never been that good. Undertaker and Jericho have never had a one-on-one match to my knowledge, and the promos leading into WrestleMania would be epic.

 

[jessejanzures]

No its like saying big show would attck kurt angle if he returned. Angle shaved his head and show said he will keep it shaved to remember what he did. But if angle returned they wouldnt be near each otther or maybe even tag together

 

[Blade]

Eh. As much as I'd quite like to see Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose in a real feud build up over a couple of months, I don't think it's going to happen. The only way I can see this feud being resurrected and resolved is if Undertaker is a surprise participant in the Royal Rumble, and proceeds to massacre and eliminate the Shield. They could maybe follow up with a 6 man tag match on Raw where Taker doesn't have to wrestle, but his team wins clean. But I would be shocked if 'Taker returned before Elimination Chamber.

So, yeah, it's probably going to be dropped. Which is a shame, really, but understandable when Taker can't really put much time into a feud these days. I'd rather see one Undertaker match a year than have him around more often, but have to retire sooner.

 

[Pedigree1]

Wow i agree with Aquaman Taker vs Jericho would indeed be epic.. Jericho makes an awesome heel always has always will.. Im trying to remember when Jericho and Taker met in the ring i dont think it has ever happened. Jericho could return in January and say he has done it all and beaten the very best. He could say he hasnt done the one thing that so many have failed to do and thats beat the Undertaker at WM!! He then could say if the undertaker has the balls and guts,i want his ass at WM!!

 

[MCMG]

I don't think they will go with The Shield. Their attack was a way of writing him off TV and giving them credibility.

There are several options for Taker. The three main ones are Lesnar, Cena and Sheamus. Big names that we could see great matches from. At this point I'm not sure which is the most likely but I would love to see Cena/Taker. It would be incredible to see them feud and I'm sure the match itself would be of a very high quality. The same applies for Lesnar.

Some might not see the appeal of Taker/Sheamus but it could definitely work. He is a big enough name and can easily work a match with Taker.

 

[saint_edward]

... him facing Jericho, I guess that's it's kinda likely that Cena or Lesner will go there, but Cena doesn't need the victory and I know all about 'suspension of disbelief' but Brock would legit destroy most of the WWE roster in a real fight (Punk has MMA training and D-Bry knows his fair share of submission holds) but Brock is a monster- he should destroy 'Taker.

Jericho is amazing as a heel, his feud with Michaels was awesome, and he went that extra mile with Punk, where some may not have gone and it was, at times, uncomfortable. I'm sure that Jericho could make it memorable, personal and the match would be awesome, we havnt seen this match before and it would sell. Maybe more than Puck.

the Undertaker did face Jericho 1 on 1 before in 2009. In 2009, there was also a triple threat match between the 2 guys and Big Show at Survivor Series.

 

[jsnsince89]

Agree with the majority vote that WWE script writers will ensure that being beaten up and put through an announce table doesn't require a slight extract of revenge on WWE flagship programming these days...but hey ho! A Undertaker return is always a eye watcher but does anyone else think it's too (blahhhh!) now. Taker v Punk build-up was so badly but together and rushed last year that I can't help see them doing the same this year. The only thing that saved that angle was the match itself! #TakerFullTime...What!?

 

[TJ-BITW]

Undertaker going against Shield at WrestleMania is not worth it. IMO, its a streak match and it always labelled as good as a main-event match at Mania.

As for the story-lines, if Kane can forget the Wyatt's assault which happened to him months ago, why not Undertaker forget Shield's attack which was almost a year back?

His End of Era match against HHH was all about his wanted to prove he was still the tp dog. He won the previous year, but had to be carried out, and the story line was that he spent the whole year steaming and raging that he was so badly hurt in the match and wanted revenge.

His 2nd casket match with Yoko after the first which took 12 guys to put him in the casket and then he had that amazing rise up to the ceiling was about getting revenge on Yoko for putting him out for several months.

His Phantom Mask gimmick returning from having his orbital socket crushed by Mabel...once again first opponent upon return was to take out the person responsible for making him miss time.

Taker has a history of always going after the person/persons responsible for taking him out in similar situation. So in that way, it would be entirely logical for him to want to go after Shield. Except that at the moment it is looking more and more likely that Shield won't exist as a group by the next Mania. And none of them are worthy or high enough profile to face Taker at Mania. Maybe if he's back for the Rumble or one of the lead up PPVs/Raw/Smackdowns.

As for Kane, he's got the opposite history. Rarely goes after person who put him out, and usually when coming back from time off, completely changes character from prior to injury/leave of absence. So his not going after Wyatts is within character. Eventually he does return to the well and face those situations, but only after a period of time passes with his new role/characterization.

Cena will be in the WWE World Title main event at Mania 30, make no mistake about this. So he wont be wrestling Undertaker.
Undertaker in my opinion will wrestle a returning heel Sheamus, a big guy who is agile, can go and would not be hurt when he puts Taker over.
Taker wont be against Lesnar, it is not even remotely believable Taker can return, as a near 50 year old and beat a legitimate world renowned fighter who demolished the UFC in his first handful of fights. He smashed Taker in 2002 storylines, why would 12 years on, much badder and in so much better shape would he be a snowballs chance in hell of losing to Undertaker>>>>> There is suspending belief then there is downright insulting our intelligence. Oh they did that with HHH last year didnt they..............

Undertaker vs Sheamus for mine, if not then Undertaker vs Chris Jericho, hell that would be a great match and Jericho is big enough of a name to go after the streak, and carry Taker's ass to a passable match

I wish that match would happen. I could see it being career vs. streak match. A great way for Jericho to end his own career on a high note, seeing if he can top Punk's and HBK's matches at Wrestlemania

 

[Mustang Sally]

I can't seeing Undertaker having much to do with The Shield at WM30. If he's going to win his match and continue the streak.....as it seems he will..... the idea of fighting three opponents goes against everything 'Taker has been doing all these years. At the same time, I can't see management placing one of the three Shield members in the ring with Undertaker and trying to convince the buying public it's a match worth buying, especially when you know damn well the other two will be joining the fray at some point......and surely, one of the top matches at Wrestlemania isn't scheduled to end with three people beating up the Undertaker, is it?

Now that Batista seems to be on his way back (you can never tell with a reluctant warrior like him) I think it might be an attractive match-up to have he and Undertaker go at it.

Yes, I'd rather see Sting or The Rock face 'Taker, but if they're not coming and the company isn't ready to toss John Cena in there yet (save that for 'Taker's last match ever) I could accept Batista as a good opponent for Mark Calaway.

Sooner than the Shield, anyway.

 

[rocksaviour]

I would have Taker face Lesnar this year. It is a feud that could be booked to start tomorrow and people would instantly be buzzed for it.

Have Lesnar return the week after the Rumble alongside Heyman and say that he wants to do something that no man has ever done at Wrestlemania, that not even CM Punk or HHH could do and that he has beaten them in the past, that he is the only man capable of achieving this grand feat, then at the end of that promo or maybe next week, he says that is the one to end the streak. Have Taker return in video packages over a couple of weeks to hype up a face-to-face acceptance of the challenge. The first physical contact doesn't have to be until Mania when they could put on a great match, it would be a push to ask this of Taker, 12 months down the line or 2 years, this has to happen at WMXXX
