3 reasons why The Undertaker is teaming up with Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules 2019

Stomping Grounds was a fantastic pay-per-view where we saw some stupendous matches. The anticipation was high for the Raw after Stomping Grounds. WWE didn't let down the fans as we saw an excellent episode.

There is no denying that the biggest surprise of the RAW was the appearance of the Undertaker. After Roman Reigns beat Drew McIntyre at Stomping Grounds, Shane McMahon lost his cool. Despite the help of Shane, the Scottish Psychopath failed to pin the Big Dog. Shane announced a two-on-one Handicap Match on RAW, moreover, the match didn't have any tag as Shane and McIntyre were in the ring together. As expected, the two men decimated the former Universal Champion. Reigns was knocked out after a vicious Claymore Kick and Shane was getting ready to hit a Coast to Coast but Undertaker's music hit.

The Deadman was in the ring and he delivered a Chokeslam to Shane. McIntyre also ate a Big Boot from the Deadman. The fans were awestruck to see the Phenom who came to rescue Roman Reigns. WWE subsequently announced a Tag Team match for Extreme Rules, where the team of Undertaker and Roman Reigns will face Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre.

Here we discuss three reasons why Undertaker will team up with Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules.

#3 To boost the ratings

WWE's ratings have not been noteworthy recently. Following WrestleMania, the ratings dipped significantly. The sub-standard ratings forced Vince McMahon to introduce the Wild Card Rule which allowed the Superstars to appear on the other brands. Nevertheless, the Wild Card didn't help the ratings as the fans have been vocal about poor storylines and repetitive matches every week.

There is no denying that The Undertaker is one of the biggest names of Vince McMahon's company if not the biggest. The Deadman is a massive draw who can help to improve the ratings. Considering the substandard ratings and ticket sales, The Undertaker could play a pivotal role in changing the scenario.

#2 The Undertaker could face Shane McMahon or Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam

The alliance of Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon has been involved in a feud with Roman Reigns for the past couple of months. In all honesty, it has been a tedious rivalry and it should have ended at Stomping Grounds. After the addition of Undertaker in this storyline, the feud got rejuvenated.

Unless WWE decides to a shock everyone, Undertaker and Roman Reigns are likely to win at Extreme Rules. Following Extreme Rules, the company could renew the feud till SummerSlam. Considering Reigns already squared off with both Shane and McIntyre, it will be repetitive if he faces either of the two Superstars.

The Phenom has entered this feud and he could face either Shane or McIntyre at SummerSlam. We already saw a match between Undertaker and Shane at WrestleMania 32, so, McIntyre could be a fresh opponent for Undertaker. Moreover, WWE is building McIntyre as one of the biggest heels and a match with Undertaker could lift his stature.

#1 The Undertaker could turn on Roman Reigns

While it was refreshing to see The Undertaker, it didn't make sense when he came to rescue Roman Reigns. Having locked horns at WrestleMania 33, the two men have a history. As a matter of fact, The Undertaker lost to Roman Reigns when they met two years ago. Apart from Brock Lesnar, Reigns is the only other man to pin the Deadman at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

When The Undertaker left his wrestling attires in the squared circle at WrestleMania 33, a large number of fans thought that the Phenom could hang up his boots. Subsequently, Reigns also claimed that he retired The Undertaker. Nevertheless, the Undertaker didn't retire and continued to be a part-timer.

Since Undertaker will be part of Extreme Rules, he is expected to be part of SummerSlam which is the biggest show of the summer. Considering SummerSlam is just two months away, WWE could be planning a mega clash for the show. It will not be surprising if the Phenom turns on Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules. A heel turn could lead to a rematch between The Undertaker and Roman Reigns as the former will get an opportunity to avenge his previous loss.
