5. Give the Rub to Some of the Younger Stars

Taker is possibly on one of his final runs with the company as there is no longer a Wrestlemania streak to protect. Perhaps now is a good time to use his incomparable star power to put the rub on one of the new generation of stars. Undertaker is such a respected name in the pro-wrestling world that even a nod of appreciation from him can instantly make an up-and-coming star credible.

Remember the interaction between Taker and John Cena on the night the latter made his debut? When you go back and watch that moment, you can help but feel that Cena was indeed going to be a big deal. WWE can easily recreate the magic of the moment with another new generation star. Take the case of Apollo Crews for instance. An exceptionally talented athlete is wandering the lower tiers of mid-card without direction or character. Perhaps, a backstage segment of similar nature with the Phenom can do wonders for him. Imagine the same scene recreated again after an impressive performance by Crews. The kind of rub he gets from this moment can be used to project him to something better on the roster.

If WWE can have the Undertaker work a couple of matches with some of the recent NXT call-ups, Baron Corbin would be a good opponent. He could make great use of sharing the ring with the Phenom. Moreover, being another big man, he would have much to learn from Taker. The kind of rub you get from getting in the ring with him is out of the world.
