Mystery Solved.

Guess those reports over the last 2 weeks of Taker's WM opponent "not on the roster" make sense now.

Brilliant booking. All you people who don't like it, I can't understand you. You're sad that an Undertaker match will actually mean something instead of it being some one off thing with no buildup or consequence??

Either Taker jobs to SHANE or we are stuck with The Authority in charge. You like the idea of either of those options? I don't.

bryon said shane himself will have to face taker

that sucks

martyos121

Just watched the opening segment back, it's definitely Shane wrestling the Undertaker, not someone representing him, so that quashes Taker vs. Rock.

brianregan09

I don't mind if Shane beats him to be honest , But ya got to wonder is it just Shane coming back for a one and done now

irish_stevo815

They should make it 3 matches to decide who gets control...Shane vs Taker, Stephanie vs Rousey and HHH vs Reigns. If the Authority get the best of 3 they stay in power.

Maybe Shane coming back is a sign that maybe, just maybe that Vince is ready to call it a day..

Jesus Christ three ad breaks in a few minutes.

Well when the opening segment lasts 30 minutes, no wonder all the ad breaks.

I wonder how happy Steph and trips would be if they was even slighty true.

PTH2009

bit of downer tbh. we were expecting Sting, Cena, Rock ?? and taker will face someone who is not a wrestler at the biggest stage of them all :(:(:(.

maybe shane wins a match or something that will allow him to pick a partner before mania

Mr.Nice Guy

I find it bizarre the more that I think about it. I think a lot of those hardcore fans who attend Mania would really not like the idea of Taker losing to Shane, so if the idea is to get a Shane McMahon era up and running, I think that would be a hideous way to do it since many of the audience would back Taker for sentimental reasons.

Shane has more right to the company than Triple H so I imagine if he wanted it, he'd get it. The problem here is that he is very successful in his other ventures and honestly doesn't need it.

They'd be Fuming, all this time they thought they were running the company, but really they weren't.. My interest in Wrestlemania 32 has now skyrocketed on Shane simply coming back.

Yes, I like the first one, even though I have historically been a big Taker fan. It's a great idea. For one thing, it puts Taker in the potential position of heel for a large proportion of the audience. Shane may be 46, but for one match he could go, without a doubt. If someone as accomplished as Kurt Angle endorsed Shane, then Ive no problem with him going over. Who cares if Taker has to do a job? The streak has already ended.

Ah go away Roman for Christ sake. Jesus Roman put a bit of emotion into it. Roman you were in the main event last year.

It would be awesome if Shane features regularly between now and Mania and Vince commands LON again to blind-side him and weaken him. Cue Wrestlemania, and the camera panning to Shane in the hours leading up to the match still carrying the injury. Doctor confirms same. Match comes around and Taker gets his entrance. Lillian Garcia announces due to medical advice Shane is unable to compete but has a replacement.

"If you smell......"

J. Marston

Poor Roman. The man is just a complete charisma blackhole.

Jaysus if you'd said at 13:30 yesterday that Shane McMahon would be back, well played WWE, well played indeed.

Replace "if you smell" with a short burst of static and the appropriate music to follow and I'd blow my load, if you catch my drift.

No, it's a wretched idea.

Taker at Mania, while nowhere near as massive as it was prior to the streak being broken, nevertheless still has a degree of specialty attached to it as evidenced by the Wyatt match and the clamour for matches with Sting, Cena, etc. It can still have a lot of use for someone young to go over him.

And yet you are happy to see a 46 year old non-wrestler who hasn't been around in seven years go over him.

I actually find this idea offensive and I say that as someone who f*cking hates The Authority with a passion. As much as I loathe them I would be compelled to back Taker in the match, and I doubt I would be alone. And given the idea is to get people supporting Shane, that booking psychology is arse-backwards.

Bryon needs to stop that stupid arm thing.

Adjust your hearing ? Really ? Jesus Byron.
