Predicting the top 8 matches of WrestleMania 35 six months out

#3 Braun Strowman vs The Undertaker

This match almost happened years ago.

Nowadays whenever The Undertaker performs in the ring, we are reminded that he is really old and needs to retire soon. He left his hat, coat and gloves in the ring at the end of WrestleMania 33, presumably announcing his retirement.

However, it wasn't to be as the Deadman returned to the ring at this year's 'Mania and squashed John Cena. He has since had matches against Rusev and Triple H, both of which failed to live up to his stellar run from 2007 to 2013.

A tag team match with Kane against DX, already confirmed, and another one-on-one with Shawn Michaels are both likely to come in the next month.

However, what the Deadman should do at WrestleMania is put over a current star. WWE doesn't do so nearly enough, it was brilliantly demonstrated at Super Showdown. The Miz vs Daniel Bryan was cut to two minutes so that 'Taker and Triple H could go for half an hour, despite most of their match being pretty slow.

The Deadman needs to retire at the following WrestleMania, putting over a full-time star not named Roman Reigns in the process. That man is Braun Strowman. WWE needs to revisit a match they had planned for WrestleMania 32, back when the Monster was part of the Wyatt Family and green as grass.

Strowman has failed to capture the Universal Championship so far and will likely continue to do so over the next two months. He will need something else to live up to his current value as the best big man in the company.

While he pretty much is one already, retiring The Undertaker would solidify the Monster as a megastar. WWE does not have enough of them and will need to start getting behind the full-time talent as they did with the current part-timers when they were full-time talent.
