I'll spoil the ending for you. The Undertaker wins. Cleanly. In the middle. With the Tombstone. The reason for The Undertaker's victory boil down to the fact that if Bray Wyatt wins, he suddenly becomes the biggest babyface in WWE history. Once people realized The Undertaker was "old," Brock Lesnar beat and old man in a wrestling match. Now that that's done, The Undertaker is a "legend" again, and Bray Wyatt beating a legend is like Luke Sywalker beating Darth Vader in a lightsaber fight. Of the many things WWE needs at present, Bray Wyatt-as-Luke Skywalker isn't one of them. The Undertaker defeats Bray Wyatt. Then, imagine if after the match, the business of Wyatt's new Family entering the ring takes place. Taker backs them off, then reaches a hand down to Wyatt, pulls him up, and they share this demonic brotherhood/respect handshake and a few words that causes both of them to smile. It would be awesome, unsettling and when Wyatt reveals that The Undertaker told him that " knew that after that match that his legacy was safe in Bray Wyatt's hands," it allows for all sorts of craziness to occur. Wyatt having the ability to raise and lower lights, doing the "old school" rope walk, etc. as a way to pass down The Undertaker's style to a new generation would be allowed here. It'd be cool as hell, and if you really pause and consider it, well worth occurring, too.
