WWE: 10 Men Who Should Have Been Given The Undertaker Streak Win

2. Roman Reigns

It's a kiss of death to label a rising star as the second coming of so-and-so, but the facts are the facts €“ there's no one on WWE's roster with as good a shot at being the next Rock as Roman Reigns. He's young, big, good-looking, athletic, and in possession of amazing charisma. His promo work is largely untested, but from the interviews he's delivered, it's not hard to imagine that there's a great talker about to bust out. WWE realizes that the future is bright for Reigns, as they've got designs on pushing him. A win over The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX might have been a bit too much, too soon, but what about 2015? Despite their group face turn, it's hard to imagine The Shield lasting as unit for much longer. In all likelihood, the split will proceed and Reigns will emerge as the victor of the ensuing feud. After some big wins in the fall, he'd have been ready for a match with Undertaker at WrestleMania XXXI. The bottom line is that Reigns is a mega-star of the future, and WWE needs to hang their hat on him. There would have been no better way to do that than by having him break the streak.
