The Undertaker Set To Face Braun Strowman At WWE WrestleMania 32

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why, Vince, Why?!

Our worst fears have been confirmed. Yesterday on the Wrestling Observer Live radio show, Bryan Alvarez indicated that he'd heard from a source within WWE that the plan is for Braun Strowman to square off with The Big Show at Fastlane and beat him, which will then set up a WrestleMania showdown with The Undertaker. Dave Meltzer has spoken at length in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter about The Undertaker's scheduled WrestleMania match with John Cena, which was scrapped due to Cena's recent shoulder injury and surgery. With a lack of top level opponents for The Deadman, it seems the choice has been made to go with the huge monster of the Wyatt Family. In the early days of 'Taker's WrestleMania career, he would work with larger opponents like Giant Gonzalez and King Kong Bundy which resulted in generally awful bouts that fans still complain about over twenty years later. While it's always possible that the company decide to take a different route, as of right now, Taker versus Strowman is the plan for Dallas, Texas on April 3rd. One can only assume that if this match takes place, it's a lock that Undertaker will not be retiring after WrestleMania 32 and will choose to come back to go out on a high note against a high caliber opponent that he richly deserves.
