3. Keep Reigns Strong for Undertaker
Do you remember when Roman Reigns came out at No. 30 of this year’s Royal Rumble and it was met with universal praise? Me neither. Even if fans didn’t want the Big Dog to be released from his kennel and into the match, it did give us a tease for Wrestlemania.
Reigns stepped out of the curtain, down that gigantic entrance ramp, and into the Undertaker’s yard. Once he managed to oust the Deadman, Reigns taunted the legend. This leads to speculation that instead of Cena, Undertaker is on a collision course for Wrestlemania with Reigns.
And that match would be fantastic.
John Cena seems to have his Wrestlemania match set out with him and beau Nikki Bella battling the Miz and Maryse. The Undertaker, the respected veteran he is, wants to give the rub to up and coming talents to make the business stronger. Reigns could do wonders with that rub.
Have Reigns topple Strowman in an amazing feat of strength and endurance. The next night on RAW, he can come out and say that he is a world-beater, and has beaten the best the WWE has to offer. There is one man he respects and wants to test himself against, though – the Undertaker.
It sets up what is a great match for Wrestlemania. Undertaker still has some gas in the tank, and Reigns has been having stellar matches for upwards of a year despite issues with his character. The win over Strowman can catapult him into the same level as Undertaker.
