WWE: 10 Ways To Book WrestleMania 30 (Without Cena Or Punk)
5. Appease The Fans With Lesnar Vs Undertaker
Punk and Cena are a big loss, but when you can bring in part timers like Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker you go some way to boosting fans' perceptions. If Lesnar and Taker meet at Wrestlemania 30 as expected then the rest of the event can take care of itself. Lesnar v Taker is money. People will buy based solely on seeing these two monsters meet. Ever since the pair staged a face off at UFC back in 2010, the anticipation for this match has been huge. I would absolutely book it as Taker's streak match this year. The time to set it all up is probably going to be the February 24th Raw following Elimination Chamber. On this night WWE will also be launching The Network, so what better reason to bring The Undertaker back. Returning to take revenge on Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins for last year's beatdown, Taker could dispose of the pair before Lesnar's music hits. All the former UFC champion needs to do is come to the ring and stare in Taker's face. The match is sold. In the next few weeks I would do various Heyman promos putting Lesnar over as the man who will end the streak, and eventually a Taker/Lesnar brawl on Raw itself. The night of Mania the winner has to be Undertaker, but I will predict now that it will be an epic contest.
