Ups...

6. A Simple Explanation

This one was tough to rate, but ultimately, we’ll give credit to WWE for providing an explanation, however simple it might have been.

Undertaker showed up on Raw Monday night, explaining why he helped Roman Reigns out last week and set up a tag match against Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules. Taker’s job is to take souls, and he intends to take Shane’s wayward soul that has drifted into this “Best in the World” area.

While it isn’t the sexiest reason ever, it’s at least something for fans to understand rather than just “I was in the neighborhood.” Taker is something referred to as the Conscience of WWE, so this worked decently.
