8 Best Choices For The Undertaker's Final Opponent
3. Seth Rollins
If Undertaker is looking to have one final great match, Seth Rollins may be the top choice for his last opponent. After having five classic Mania matches against Shawn Michaels, HHH and CM Punk, the Brock Lesnar match proved to be a dud, and the Bray Wyatt battle managed to just be pretty good. Thats probably not the way hed want to go out. Rollins is on fire in WWE right now. Since The Shield broke up, who would have guessed that hed fare better than Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose? Hes the World Champion, hes received mainstream attention on The Daily Show and The Today Show, and hes arguably become the most entertaining character in the company. Hes slimy, arrogant and needs to be shut up. Someone like The Undertaker could be just the man to do it. Hypothetically, Rollins could hold the title until next years WrestleMania, and Taker could win the Royal Rumble and set up one last match. He could either win the title and retire, or really put over Rollins by losing to him and cement him as a top star. There's a few more reasons that the match makes sense. Battling Rollins would be the easiest on Takers body, because the young star would be the one bumping around like crazy, and mask some of Takers mobility issues. Also, the two already have a little bit of a history together, as The Shield was given credit for knocking The Dead Man out of action for months a few years ago. A couple video packages reminding fans of that, and some of Rollins' tremendous gloating skills, and WWE could have a hot feud for next year's Mania.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
