1. Braun Strowman Costs Roman Reigns the Win
If Reigns beats the Undertaker, the crowd would hate him for all of eternity. If Reigns doesn’t go over the Undertaker WWE can not truly claim that we are in a new era. Moreover, if Reigns doesn’t somehow earn the Undertaker’s respect and go over with the crowd all of this would be in vain. What is the ideal solution to pull all this off without anybody getting hurt? The answer is often referred to as the Monster among Men.
Braun Strowman has unfinished business with Roman Reigns. Moreover, he took a Choke slam from the Undertaker. If that wasn’t an open invitation for him to make his presence felt come WrestleMania I don’t know what could be. A defiant Strowman interfering in the match mid way or during Reigns’ entrance could do a handful of things. Firstly it could soften Reigns for the Undertaker. Now creative would be tempted to have Strowman attack both men. But one simply does not take down the Undertaker and walk out especially during WrestleMania season.
Reigns, weakened by Strowman’s attacks could still put a hell of fight with the Undertaker. That could be the trigger that earns him the Dead Man’s respect even in defeat. Some solid work from the commentary team would also come in handy here. Secondly, Strowman’s attack would give creative an opportunity to further extend their feud way past WrestleMania.

As it stands, Strowman never got a win over Reigns. Costing him the victory of a life time at WrestleMania could be a good way to repay him. The crowd goes home happy after seeing Undertaker win and they would also get to see Strowman and Reigns beat each other down senseless the next night. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
