3. The Undertaker vs. Daniel Bryan
Over the past several years, a huge part of the pre-WrestleMania tradition has become the challenging of The Undertaker. From Shawn Michaels to Bray Wyatt, Undertaker's would-be foes have recognized the importance of taking on the Phenom at the show of shows, and they've done everything in their power to make it happen. 2016 will be different. As WrestleMania XXXII draws near, The Undertaker will accept that his time has come and, win or lose, this is his last venture into the ring. Like a true champion, he'll want to challenge the man he sees as the best in WWE, and that man will be Daniel Bryan. The Undertaker's famous "mind games" will begin after the Royal Rumble, when the happy-go-lucky Bryan finds himself plagued by supernatural phenomena. When The Undertaker himself finally appears, he makes his position perfectly clear -- he knows he's more than just a streak. If he can prove it against WWE's best, he can retire with pride, and if he can't, he shouldn't be competing anymore, anyway. In a sense, his role will be eerily similar to that of Michaels in 2010. Daniel Bryan, always a champion, is more than happy to accept, and the match is signed. No matter who wins at WrestleMania, The Undertaker gets to go out on a high note.
