WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting 10 Biggest Spots
4. The Brothers Of Destruction Reunite
There’s a strong chance that 2017 could be The Undertaker’s last year as an active performer. He’ll be 52 years old by the time WrestleMania hits Orlando, and he can’t keep cheating Father Time forever. Taker’s ageing body is going to start failing him sooner or later, and it’s vital that WWE squeeze every last drop of value from him before he finally decides to hang up his boots and ride off into the sunset.
It remains to be seen what he’ll be doing at WrestleMania 33, but WWE will almost certainly set something up in the Rumble itself. WWE likely won’t use the Rumble solely to established 'Taker’s 'Mania direction however, and a big reunion could be on the cards.
Nobody wants to see Kane pushed to a position of prominence in 2017, but he’s an important part of The Undertaker’s legacy. He deserves the opportunity to have one last dance with his storyline brother, and their reunion would get a huge pop in San Antonio. All they need to do is team-up for a brief few moments and eliminate a handful of less heralded superstars, and it’ll go down as one of the match’s most memorable spots.
Kane is still to be announced for the match, but he’s one of the most dominant performers in the match’s history and it wouldn’t be the Rumble without him. It’s unlikely that there’d be much interest in an extended program between him and The Deadman, which makes the Rumble the perfect location to draw a line under their story. However it transpires, the Brothers of Destruction teaming-up one last time would be nothing short of awesome.
