2. Who Will Be #22? - March 2015
So with the 9 he dropped during the Rumble match, Sting will have rang his bell 21 times, since this all began. 'Taker will be 22-0. Who will be Sting's 22nd victim? Physicality between Undertaker and Sting should be very limited indeed in the weeks prior to 'Mania 31. Either absolutely zero or one sudden and quick Scorpion Death Drop to The Undertaker. With Sting still needing one more victim prior to Wrestlemania, you essentially have two options: 1. Sting informs Undertaker that he will be #23 at Wrestlemania- meaning #22 will be someone else- and then Death Drops him on the go-home edition, after some smoke and mirrors (perhaps literally!). OR 2. Sting informs Undertaker that he will be #22 and that he promises he'll "get him" before Wrestlemania... and then Death Drops someone else before his very eyes. Either works well, though I tend to gravitate towards option 2, rather than 1. On one hand, option 1 does give you a chance to prove that Sting can get to Undertaker and hurt him with the Death Drop. On the other hand, option 2 takes a mind-games approach and enhances the mystery prior to Wrestlemania... if 'Taker gets dropped in the match, will he kick out? Obviously, the answer would be yes. Mind you, the image of Sting standing over a fallen Undertaker and ringing his bell as the go-home edition of Raw goes off the air is a powerful one. Make your choice. Would you do 1 or 2?
