10 Booking Steps For Shane McMahon Vs The Undertaker

9. Shane Makes It About The Deadman

The week after 'Taker's appearance on Raw, Shane returns for his own promo. This will be WWE's opportunity to put some focus on his match, rather than his feud with Vince and Stephanie. It is important that Shane and 'Taker have a degree of personal animosity in order for fans to buy into the conflict. If too much focus is given to a son and father drama, the actual match could be overshadowed. Taking the mic and the middle of the ring, Shane says he doesn't want tonight to be about his dad, he wants tonight to be about The Undertaker. "I respect you 'Dead Man', but at the same time, I can't forget what you did to me all those years ago." Shane then reveals that The Undertaker tried to protect the locker room by forcing him out in 2009. It would be a worked shoot, referencing 'Taker's status as WWE's locker room leader. It would be revealed that Taker's judgement was key when Shane and Stephanie's power battle was going on. "When it came down to it, you sided with Triple H, you wanted a wrestler running WWE. Now look what's happened." Shane says he can never forgive The Undertaker for that, and has every motivation he needs for kicking his ass.
