What should WWE do with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 35?

Let's be honest here - WWE is in a worst case scenario right now after news of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch's injuries came out and while both matches are still very likely to happen, it's not known how the company is going to get there now. Complicating matters even further is the fact that Dean Ambrose is leaving the company soon, AJ Styles might not be resigned yet and the company still doesn't have plans for the Undertaker.

With that being said and many of the company's plans hitting major roadblocks over the past week or so, one has to wonder how WWE will mitigate these problems. Of course, WWE has gotten very good at dealing with problems in the past, especially during WrestleMania season, but dealing with so many at once might be there undoing.

In the end, here are five controversial changes WWE must make to WrestleMania 35. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and also tell us what changes you would like to see the company make in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 35:


#5 Cena vs. Bryan at WrestleMania 35

While WWE's original plan was supposedly for Daniel Bryan and The Miz to do battle for the WWE Title, It now seems like that won't be happening. In fact, between The Miz becoming tag team champion at the Royal Rumble and Daniel Bryan on an anti-WWE gimmick after the big pay per view, one has to wonder if their paths even could eventually meet.

With that in mind and WWE needing to throw in a few more dream matches for good measure, why not do Cena versus Bryan at WrestleMania 35? Not only would this allow for the fans to get behind Cena as the babyface and tease his record-breaking world title victory, but it also gives fans something they've seen before with some new dynamics added in.

If nothing else, it would be one of those matches that could steal the show, especially with the dynamics the way they are now and WWE should put some serious thought into booking it. If not, however, they are missing a huge opportunity to have a main event worthy WWE title match and that would be really disappointing.

#4 Allow The Undertaker to officially retire

It's just not WrestleMania season without The Undertaker.

Unfortunately for the WWE Universe, the company doesn't seem to have any plans for The Undertaker at WrestleMania 35 and although that can always change, it looks like it won't this time. In fact, with rumors about Undertaker appearing at WrestleMania remaining stagnant, it appears as if they will do nothing at all with The Deadman this time around.

With that being said, however, this is not how WWE should say goodbye to a legend and they need to at least have him appear one more time to officially call it quits. Maybe WWE could even have Undertaker suffer some kind of beatdown from a young star and end his career that way. Of course, some fans probably won't be happy about it, but it would certainly create a must watch moment.

In the end, The Undertaker has already proven he can't go like he used to and another three-minute match at WrestleMania isn't going to hold the same weight it once did. If nothing else, WWE has two choices: trot him out one more time and do an emotional retirement speech, or have him beaten down one last time to establish a new star.

#3 Insert Charlotte Flair into Raw Women's title picture

Let's be honest. Charlotte Flair deserves another shot at Ronda Rousey.

While Becky Lynch versus Ronda Rousey is the dream match the WWE Universe has been dying to see for some time now, it doesn't feel complete unless Charlotte Flair is added to the mix. Not only is that evident by Charlotte match with Rousey at last year's Survivor Series pay per view ending in a disqualification, but also by the unfinished business existing between Lynch and Flair.

With that being said and the company seemingly painting themselves into a corner with Rousey versus Lynch for the title, why not throw Charlotte in there to prevent either superstar from taking a clean loss. At least that way, if Lynch wins, it doesn't have to come at the expense of Rousey and vice versa if Rousey somehow comes out on top.

Adding Charlotte Flair into the mix also gives Lynch a chance to rest from her injuries, which will allow the company to build up to the big match without needing Lynch to get physical. In the end, it also would make the blockbuster match at WrestleMania 35 just that much more star-studded, which is an added bonus!

#2 Don't do the Men and Women's Battle Royal match

Should WWE can the men and women's Memorial Battle Royal?

The Men and Women's Memorial Battle Royal is a complete waste of time and only serves to make sure that nearly every WWE superstar makes gets to appear on the big show. Beyond that, neither match has helped elevate the superstars that happen to win it, which makes it even more of a waste of time.

Think about it, Naomi and Mark Henry both won their respective matches last year and WrestleMania 34 and the WWE did nothing with either of them. Not only should that show just how much the matches really mean to the company, it also shows just how little winning one of the matches really means.

In the end, WWE needs to find other ways to implement more superstars into WrestleMania 35 and stop relying on lazy booking to do so. Of course, this isn't all WWE's fault, especially when coming up with a dream match after dream match can prove challenging, but the company can do so much better than this!

#1 Put Dean Ambrose in The Universal title match

WWE has a lot of work to do with the Universal title picture heading into WrestleMania 35, especially with Seth Rollins taking time off to deal with an injury, and putting Dean Ambrose into the mix could be the solution the company needs in the meantime. In fact, it could be a great send off for The Lunatic Fringe if he really is set to leave the company.

With that being said, it is believed that this was the original plan for WWE until Ambrose made it clear that he wasn't renewing his contract, which means the company was at least open to the idea. Beyond that, Ambrose is healthy right now and thus able to do physical segments with Brock Lesnar while Rollins is out.

In the end, it's the perfect way to bring Ambrose's real-life contract negotiations to the forefront and also stall time until Rollins is ready to go for WrestleMania 35. Maybe WWE could even do a CM Punk style storyline, where Ambrose threatens to walk out of the company with the title, which would be really cool to see and add an extra layer to the match.
