The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt - 10 Things To Expect For WrestleMania 31

3. Emphasis On Submission

Perhaps if The Undertaker does need to tone things down a little, it'd be a smart move to focus on his reliance on submission to defeat the younger, faster Bray Wyatt. 'Taker is a renowned fan of Mixed Martial Arts, which is why fans have witnessed the character evolve over the years, including several shoot-style submission moves in his arsenal. Amongst these new nuances, the Gogoplata, or 'Hell's Gate', has become the most notable. Sold as a move which is pretty much impossible to escape, announcers sell heavy on the fact that The Undertaker has his opponent exactly where he wants him, exerting little energy as he pulls them downward into submission. It could be a cool way to play the match, having 'Taker keep trying to put Wyatt in these compromising situations. Whereas the younger star looks to put his elder away with his patented Sister Abigail, or just generally by beating him up, the aging Undertaker has to commit to a different game plan, running out of gas as he strains in the Hell's Gate, desperately trying to make his opponent surrender.
