Bring Khali back and put him in a Punjabi Prison Buried Alive match, then burn the bamboo down and bring Hulk Hogan in. Undertaker wins and pulls some Takermania shit. Then the whole roster tries one by one to destroy Taker, but no one succeeds, until Vinny Mac powerwalks in, gets killed by Taker as a human sacrifice to summon Finn Balor; who gets passed the torch by Taker. And the bell tolls a final time.
+danta123456 What about another Nexus except this time Nexus are the faces because how would you even book them as heels when they're actively saving the WWE roster from becoming a ghost town.
+Hail Zeus This is what I've been thinking.Rocky is the biggest star right now able to fight besides Taker and Cena. But I always thought Rock's Promos always were a bit too goofy, especially for Taker's last match. Is he going to say to Taker that he will whoop his candy ass? I kinda think it will be Kane. I'm pretty sure, even. I hate to say it, but lets imagine Kane goes absolutely oldschool in RR and they book him like the most dangerous motherfucker they could pull it off. I still want Balor.
+Noired But the thing is is that they've done it too often. That will be their fourth feud if they go at it. I hope DB is ACTUALLY healthy and not just saying it cause what other options does WWE have?
I wish they would from a NJPW NWO style stable, and debut them at number thirty in the Royal Rumble match. AJ Styles can be the WWE Champion, Anderson the IC champ, and Gallows and Shunsuke (I think that's his name) win the tag titles.
+Theodore Caesar Moseby Ummmm, no. Put the IC belt on Nakamura and let him elevate it like he did with the IC belt in New Japan. Have AJ Styles work Finn Balor on main roster for leadership of The Bullet Club.
+finas baloras AJ VS ROMAN! wait no nvm its gonna be like the roman vs cesaro match aj does so many cool and different moves but at the end roman does the same lame 3 moves and he wins
+Brittany - Even if they booked CM Punk vs The Undertaker for the WWE Championship with Jesus as the special guest referee, it still wouldn't be the main event.
why would reigns be the opponent. Who says he will be in the title picture going into mania? I would have HHH cost roman the title at the rumble. Screw him again the next night on RAW when he wants a rematch. Roman doesn't care about the title anymore but can only think about getting revenge on triple H. Him vs trips at mania. Brock/Rock whoever can take the belt at Rumble and headline mania
alex johnson Dude that is long gone hes been screwed by the WWE character wise, a match with the taker is probably the biggest honour in wrestlemainia today I think someone from the NXT roster could be cool
The scream at 0:21. Perfect reaction to the WWE roster by this point. Hopefully, Styles, Nakasawa (or whatever his name is.) Anderson/Andersen (however it's spelled) or Gallows won't get injured from being overpushed.
Undertaker vs Finn Balor- Would put over Balor as it would definantly be a 5* match and undertaker vould finish with a win as it wouldnt damage balors image, Balor then goes on to win the US WWE championship at summerslam and he is the new DEMON
I don't like the LoN the are the like the worst people put into one group rusev I sort went off him after the whole Dolph Lana thing then there is Alberto who isn't to bad but at the same time he really is and then Barret that's all I have to say and the only thing that's "good" for them was Sheamus :/
Go superbold. Undertaker wins Rumble and thus the title off of Reigns. Reigns flips out and begins to attack the Taker in the run up to Mania (thus Taker only needs to make small appearances) and goes total beast Heel. In the mean time bring Finn Balor up to the main roster. He kicks alot of ass and stomps on just about everyone. He even beats Reigns. This catches the eye of the Undertaker who begins to show up at Finn's matches. At Mania Reigns is now full on heel and he wins the title back with shennanigans. The next night on RAW Taker beats Reigns in a non title match. After the match at the end of RAW Taker grabs a mic and says "My part here now is done. I have beaten everyone I desire to and this form wishes to rest. Worry not for the Spirit of The Undertaker shall never depart this place. It has chosen a new vessel." Then out comes Balor. The lights go out and there's a light show in the ring. Afterwards Balor stands up. He Coup de graces the Undertaker (who gets Kayfabe stretchered out). Then he grabs a mic and says "It is done. The torch has been passed." He drops the mic and we go off air to Balor in the middle of the ring doing the demon thing.
Imagine if Reigns, Brock, Taker, Triple H and Rock get injured before Wrestlemania? The Main Event of Wrestlemania 32 would probably be Big Show vs. Kane.
Thoughts for Undertaker's opponent: The Rock? How about... Kurt Angle? His TNA contract has expired, and he is currently signed with Bellator MMA as an announcer, so Bellator might be likely to allow Angle to wrestle WWE. Debut him in Royal Rumble, the same way that Blampied said "how WWE should book Undertaker's retirement". Just a thought.
+Thechad201 As much as I'd love to see Angle back in WWE, his neck is just way too messed up and I don't think their doctors would ever medically clear him.
If that happens...they should put bray in the championship scene with reigns, and if balor were to win....Bray vs Balor, two faces of fear, baby face vs heel...and balor and bray would have an awesome rivalry
He's too small, his character is good, but you can't be a face of fear unless you're a good 6'8" and look like a freak tbh. He isn't scary. The difference between Balor and Taker, I would think I'd stand a chance against Balor in a street fight, but FUCK NO would I fight taker.
The Rock (c) VS Roman Reigns, WWEWHC, Wrestlemania. Triple H eliminates Roman Reigns, The Rock eliminates Triple H and that sets up a Family Feud at Wrestlemania as Reigns envokes his Rematch Clause at Wrestlemania. Roman Reigns VS Triple H, Fastlane. Roman Reigns VS The Rock, WWEWHC, Wrestlemania. 👍
+Amos Maka lets hope not. that would be some AWFUL booking. just think of the reaction Roman gets if he beats the Rock at WM for the title... they would KILL him before he can leave the ring... and dont even think about turning Rock heel...
+Amos Maka Fuck the Rock. He should go back making movies and let new superstars have their chance. And Triple H? Maybe one more match against Reigns and then he should just quit.
No, never happening.. You see that ever since triple h retired, he faced someone at every wrestlemania and now the only possible choice is roman. The rock is not fighting. Now that tells us that triple h will be the champion
+Jackal 224 No he clearly means Braun Strowman. Midget Balor doesn't deserve to go against Taker, all hail future WWE Champion Big Strongman Braun Strowman
+sbless41 Most older stars put over younger talent when they retire, regardless of location. Taker's been around long enough that he probably agrees with that.
Wow! Just hearing about the Cena injury now! So brutal for WWE, getting 100,000 people was a hard enough task to begin with but now it almost seems impossible. Get well soon, John
+NickSoulGem Stroman will save us for a long main event. at the end, Taker is at top rope and hits the tombstone piledriver. Stroman gets pinned, 1,2,3 ding ding ding
The only way mania will be saved 1. Sting vs taker 2.reigns vs hhh 3.balor vs del rio 4.leasner vs samoa joe 5.ambrose vs owens 6.dolph vs tyler 7.daniel bryan vs the rock 8.stardust vs titus 9.neville vs kalisto 10.charlotte vs becky vs paige
+Mohammed Ali Because while wrestling is fake they are humans and humans sometimes make very bad mistakes. maybe because they know it's not a televised event so they can get a little sloppy.
+Mohammed Ali first of all the matches are way more better worked than the matches from the attitude era and they have way too much houseshows so the probability of becoming injured is high af
+Mohammed Ali (A) The horrible schedule that has everyone taking too many bumps every single night and (B) the way they train now must have something to do with it. It can't be a coincidence that Cena, Orton, Zayn, Cesaro, Itami and Sin Cara all have shoulder injuries.
+alex johnson He's still getting used to all the cameras and shit at NXT putting him straight into a co main event at wrestlemania against the Undertaker no less would murder the poor man
Taker vs Bálor. Taker still goes over after a very back and forth match, and at the end he pats Bálor on the head like he did Jeff Hardy on Smackdown all those years ago, and give Bálor the rub from the biggest bonafide star left on WWE's roster.
phil666 If it's his last match, absolutely. I dunno if it will be though. All depends on if we get that Hall of Fame induction notification in the next few weeks.
+victor rafael I agree to a point. If he can come back safe he'd be a huge boost, and I have a feeling they might be overly cautious because he's super popular and bringing him back to have him injured again would be a problem. But I also I don't want to see someone get paralyzed or killed in the ring.
victor rafael Then bring up people who aren't standing out right now. The Miz and R-Truth both fought for the WWE title before. Bring back Cody Rhodes, push Dolph Ziggler, WWE can still rebound from this.
It sucks that they wasted Sting's WWE career with a DX vs NWO match and a throwaway title match which got him hurt. Now they might have to go with Reigns vs Taker, Balor vs Taker, Kane vs Taker, or maybe a triple threat match for the IC title with Ambrose and Owens(might as well put him up with the biggest babyface and the best heel on the roster).
+RedskinsCanefan21 I think the best card would be rock vs take, reigns vs hhh, becky vs charlotte, brock vs the wyatt family(they have to make him look kinda stronger), ambrose vs rusev vs ziggler, new day vs gable & jordan, owens vs balor and neville vs slater
When you started to speak about The Undertaker at WM I was like hell, he's damn right, there's nobody to face him for a good career-ending match. But when you said "maybe.. another demon?" I was like "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I NEED BALOR VS UNDERTAKER AT WM SO MUCH"
Wrestlemania 32 card 1. Divas Revolution match divas title 2. Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn 3. Finn Balor vs Undertaker 4. Dean Ambrose vs Doplh Ziggler ic title 5. New Day vs Enzoe and Cass vs Usos tag titles 6. Bullet Club vs League of Nations 7. Brock Lesnar vs The Rock 8. Roman Reings vs Triple H world title
Don't care who wins diva title Dean Ambrose retain Sami Zayn wins Finn Balor wins Enzoe and Big cass wins The Rock wins Bullet Club wins Triple H retains
+Malachi moton Bullet club vs League of losers? Kill me. Ziggler isnt a threat to goldust right now. He jobs to everybody. Im supposed to believe hes gonna beat dean? Replace the usos with lucha dragons and its a pretty good card tho. The rest of the matchs I would love to see.
I'm actually kinda down for Taker vs. Sheamus since Sheamus has gone on record saying that he really wants to fight Undertaker in the past. Although he's injured at the moment, I honestly don't see this being Taker or Sting's last WM this year. With these two finally together in the same company, and the lore they both share, and their dream match still being possible at this time (which WWE has acknowledged,) I'd rather wait out this year and hope they give it a year-long build like Rock vs. Cena at WM28.
Well how about WWE stops making their good superstars botch and give them a push and sign up some of your past employees (hardyz, rvd, christian, etc) and maybe just MAYBE you'll have a decent card at wrestlemania
+Aldair Reynoso You're talking about people who are old or often injured, or both! All them are in their 40's. Need new people for once! Keep bringing back the same ones isn't doing anyone any good there.
it COULD be the rock? he allready declared he will be at WM so why not put him against the deadman? Have the little Trips Vs Reigns in the titlematch and Rock Vs Taker in the Main-event with taker going over and retiring afterwards... doesn't sound THAT bad.. :D
Rock vs triple h...they've been planning it for a year...trips vs reigns will be fast lane most likely after triple h eliminates him from the rumble (and maybe even wins it)
+Johnathan Hipwell I know I know... but the whloe thing now is Reigns vs the McMahon clan... and that would go nicely with an all-outbrawl with trips at mania... and trips vs the Rock had exactly NO build up until now... but you are right... Trips is the kind of guy who would definately crown himself ... on the other hand what would that do to reign's trackrecord? winning the title at SuSe... holding it for 5 minutes... winning it at RAW and losing it at the first PPV he enters as Champ. then MAYBE win it back at Fastlane. 3 Time Champ with exactly 1 win at a PPV Event? anyway. I'm really curious what they will do now. havent been that curious in a while for the WWE. XD
Yea i am talking about like Intercontinental Champion or United States or Tag Team whatever. But WWE should push him again..nowadays he fights on main event vs zack ryder.
+Deucalion Sting was cleared last I checked. He took a nasty bump, but it wasn't career ending. Sting has been making the rounds with WWE doing signing events and interviews. I think he would be ready by WM32, and if they started the promos soon, the hype would sell the fuck out of some tickets.
His surgery was minor, he talked about it in recent interviews with Ric Flair. He is already saying he is feeling good, and ready. So, if he feels ready now, he should be more than ready by WM32.
US Title Match: League of Nations Implosion equalling a Fatal-4-Way for the Title. Winner: BNB because he's the only guy I can see who could really hold the Title. Sorry Rusev. Intercontinental Title: Dean Ambrose VS a ECW Alumni. Preferably Tommy or RVD. Winner: Dean. Has to be, he needs to get more PPV wins by himself. Tag Team Title's: The New Day VS The Usos VS The Dudley VS The Vaudevillians due to Sin Cara being out on injury. Winners: Any honestly, all of these guys could do it. Diva's Title: Charlotte VS Becky VS Sasha. Winner: Sasha. It's what would make the fans happy. Ryback VS Big Show. Hear me out on this one: Shenanigans: Heath's new group run in and beat them down with Weapons. Undertaker Vs Bailor. Winner: Bailor so we can pass on the Mania Torch. WWE Title: Roman Reigns VS Brock Lesnar. Winner: Reigns. So we can show, this a new and improved Reigns that CAN do it when it matters. You guys got other ideas?
My only problem is that taker passing the torch to balor just won't feel right don't get me wrong i want to see this match as much as everyone else but balor is old in wrestling years he probably has 4-6 years maybe until he retires I mean he's in his early 30s if I remember correctly and if I'm not I'm just going to look like a idiot but I think he's 30 something which means he won't be around for a while and he is a phenomenal performer but his in ring action means that he's going to get injured badly or retire early if the last 2 years are anything to go by so to me it just doesn't feel right but at this point who else is there
John Rosenbrock Yeah. That's a really good point. I honestly don't know how old Bailor is and the only other guy who could logically take it would be Bray, but he's already got two Mania loses so there really isn't any one. Unless they were willing and Gable to use a none monster gimmick.
I've said since the beginning of the injury season. It's the heavy touring plus the new indy-based style. The heavy schedule alone could allow the wrestlers to go for years and we wouldn't hear of injuries but the indy invasion has caused a change in the style and I think the combination is leaving them with those consequences.
Good. I'm sorry, his character sucks. WWE wouldn't be in this mess if they pushed new talent & rely on Cena and the like all the time. As for taker, Owens or Balor
+Joe Atherton Cena has a horrible injury, will probably be in a lot of pain, and you say 'good'? What's wrong with you? FYI Cena consistently had brilliant matches last year.
+elijah “Bulbamew” handley I'm sticking by my guns. Everyone hates on Cena and now everyone is like "aw poor John, get well soon, you'll be missed!" like a bunch of hypocrites. I don't like his character. He is stale as fuck. I'm glad he's off tv. Nothing against Cena the man, but come on. He's rich as hell and banging a bella. I'm supposed to feel sorry for him?
Joe Atherton His character may be stale but you said you're glad he's injured yet you have 'nothing against the man'? You shouldn't be celebrating the injury of a man who cares more about the business than almost anyone else and has worked TREMENDOUSLY hard throughout 2015 to give us excellent match after excellent match after excellent match. He won over many, many fans who weren't so keen on him in the past, including myself. He deserved the chance to shine on the biggest Mania of all time and you're celebrating the fact that he has no choice but to miss it.
***** How exactly did Del Rio prove that Cena is getting old? How many amazing matches has Cena had this year and how many has Del Rio had? Cena's had more great matches in 2015 alone than Del Rio's ever had in WWE. You raised a solid point with Owens but you have to understand that those amazing Cena/Owens matches were also down to Cena really raising his game as well as Owens's already excellent ability
i feel bad for john cena the person, coz no human being should have yo go through stuff like a torn rotator cuff. but john cenas gimmick... thank fuck we wont see the 5 moves of doom beat the undertaker at wrestlemania. fucking wwe life saving.
I know the injuries are terrible but a little positive thinking: just think about the wave of awesome returns that are gonna happen once everyone recovers
in all seriousness though I'm sure booker t is retired but having him and taker two really big names from Texas. that would give some amazing crowd pop
I have noticed that the two "How WWE Should Book" segments you've recorded primarily involved Seth Rollins and John Cena and now they're both injured so maybe... don't predict the future for WWE anymore in case it tempts fate. Your "How WWE Should Have Booked" segments are excellent enough.
As of right now, there are 12 people in WWE that are out with injury. Cesaro Tyson Kidd Daniel Bryan John Cena Randy Orton Nikki Bella Sting Seth Rollins Sin Cara Hideo Itami Tye Dillinger and now King Barrett.
Kane vs Undertaker for the last time would be OK. They're both legends, they should both go out fighting each other. They are their own greatest rivals after all
Since he's here, do AJ Styles versus the Undertaker. that would be pretty epic in its own way, would give AJ credibility within WWE, and give Taker the match he deserves as his finale.
I've heard constant rumors that Undertaker is gonna face Sting. I mean.. WTF?!? They've barely known each other and I think that Undertaker should go in a triple threat with Braun Strowman and Big Show.
Undertaker starts out in the ring. Then like Royal Rumble style, have one of his former Wrestlemania competitors/major rivalries come in every 60 seconds. That way you can get guys like Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Steve Austin, heck even Hogan if they wanted patch things up with him; in there for their star spot and they only have to last a few minutes.
They will put Kane vs Taker as a memorial match between them since they elevated each other's career early on and in order to fill the event's gaps they will bring a lot of NXT talent like Samoa Joe, Balor and Rhyno.
How WWE Should Book, might be a long video but book how WWE should book the returns of each of the injured wrestlers, Cena, Cesaro, Rollins, Bryan, Orton, Kidd etc.
