OK. Follow along. Pro wrestling "rules" only stipulate that champions must wrestle matches once every 30 days in order to maintain their championship status. There's no rules anywhere that demand that any other wrestling match absolutely must happen. As well, under wacky "pro wrestling" rules individual contracts aren't signed before every match on Raw or Smackdown, just the championship ones. Thus, Bray Wyatt could just boycott wrestling and being seen on TV until he gets a match with The Undertaker. The idea of The Authority calling Bray to book him into matches against talents they don't like (instead of The Undertaker), but only to have Bray turn them down would be compelling. The idea that it's Triple H who gets The Undertaker back for a match against Bray would be amazing. 'taker telling Trips that he's not there for The Authority, but to bury Wyatt (who'd send in promos mocking The Undertaker for not "getting the job done" against Bray, "like he used to") or himself forever would be great. Triple H begrudgingly signing a casket match for Dallas between Undertaker and Bray Wyatt? All of the money.
