Predicting 10 WrestleMania 31 Matches Six Months Out

4. The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar

In the event that WWE can not coerce The Rock back into the squared circle, it is entirely possible that Undertaker returns after his crushing defeat a year ago and issues a challenge to Brock Lesnar for a rematch at WrestleMania. After seeing the Deadman with a target on his back so many times throughout the years on the road to WrestleMania, it would be interesting to see him enter the show of shows without the pressure on him. Even more interesting would be his words regarding his last defeat at the hands of the Beast Incarnate, the defeat that ended the most storied streak in sports-entertainment history. Fans have not seen nor have they heard from the Phenom since his loss last April so hearing what he has to say and seeing what physical state he is could add to the drama and intrigue surrounding a potential rematch. The biggest question surrounding a potential Lesnar-Undertaker match would be whether or not the latter can physically withstand a match against Lesnar, whose high-impact style does not necessarily lend itself to a guy who looks to be held together McGyver-style by a few paperclips, some bubble gum and a piece of duct tape. Undertaker was as physically unprepared for his match with Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX as he has ever been for a bout. Whether he will ever be in shape enough to combat the Beast in a high profile match again remains to be seen.
