10 Reasons To Be Nervous For WWE In 2020

8. A Heavy Final Run For The Undertaker?

The contrast between Super Show-Down and Extreme Rules (held 37 days apart) couldn't have been greater.

In June, The Undertaker wrestled Goldberg in a miserable, dangerous and agonising main event. At the other, his weaknesses were cleverly hidden by a tag-team dynamic, and he managed to cause goosebumps on fans' arms by going nose-to-nose with Drew McIntyre. Fingers crossed WWE learned a lesson there.

It's only a matter of time before 'Taker retires though, and it could be 2020. If so, WWE will do everything in their power to squeeze every last drop of juice from his magical career. If you're a huge fan of the gimmick and its aura, start getting worried. You're far more likely to see more "dream matches" like the one against Goldberg than anything else.

This'd be detrimental to The Undertaker's legacy, obviously. More matches like the one against Goldberg in Saudi Arabia would end his epic run on a low note rather than giving him that classic send off he richly deserves.
