4. The Pressure Is Off The Undertaker

As an extension of the previous point about Shane McMahon being far from ideal for a creaking Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, it's important to point out that 'The Deadman' has less pressure on him come 2 April in the Camping World Stadium.

Much-maligned for his failure to get over as a top babyface or not, the fact remains that Roman Reigns is faster, slicker, and more dynamic between the ropes than Shane-O-Mac could ever hope to be; any shortcomings brought on by the ageing 'Taker will be covered up by Roman's workhorse mentality at 'Mania 33, even if some fans don't want to admit it.

Theoretically flourishing due to the lack of pressure that came with carrying the returning Shane McMahon last year, a more relaxed Undertaker will be able to concentrate on telling the tale of 'Big Dog vs. Big Dog' without having to worry about an awkward back story (the explanation for why Shane was fighting 'Taker was tame at best).

Undertaker vs. Reigns is straightforward, the convoluted McMahon shackles are a distant memory, and 'Taker can now focus on enjoying his work and passing the torch to WWE's hand-picked pet project.
