#4 WrestleMania 27 (again) – Bad News for Barrett
The Undertaker ended up facing Triple H at WrestleMania 27. Even this was a late change, as The Undertaker was originally set to face Wade Barrett after the Brock Lesnar deal fell through.
The Undertaker was very keen to retire in 2011 and Barrett was actually chosen by the Deadman himself. However, WrestleMania 27 signified the first time that Vince has done what he has done many times since, convinced The Undertaker not to retire!
The Undertaker agreed to a two-year program with Triple H and even set up the rematch at the end of the WrestleMania 27 match with Triple H, by leaving on a stretcher.
Close-o-Meter rating: 5/10.
Unlike Brock, Barrett was actually in the WWE. The WWE had already blown the Nexus storyline and the streak would have completely re-built Barrett. Unfortunately, Vince never saw Barrett at that level, which became clearer over the years, based on the way Barrett was booked.
Barrett vs. The Undertaker was scrapped in mid-February, so despite being planned, it never got that close to happening.
