9. The Undertaker Returning At Battleground?

Rumor: This coming from Reddit user "falconarrow" -- with an accurate history in providing spoilers -- who has said The Undertaker could be returning this Sunday to setup a SummerSlam match. On just this past week's edition of Raw, Undertaker's name was mentioned. Names like Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins have been floated around as potential opponents. He was seen recently working out with Triple H's trainer -- Joe DeFranco -- and looks to be in great shape.

Reaction: With down TV ratings, this would be a huge boost for the WWE. These days, any Undertaker appearance outside of WrestleMania match is an absolute gift. Although, it seems unlikely that he would come back just to lose to Brock Lesnar again. Going against Seth Rollins would not only be appropriate for Rollins' storyline -- since he just kicked Kane to the curb -- but he would be a terrific partner for Taker to lean on in the ring.
