WWE WrestleMania 32: 5 things that should not happen at WrestleMania

1. Shane McMahon should not lose to The Undertaker

Shane McMahon must leave WrestleMania with the win

Shane McMahon is stepping into a situation that no one expects him to win.

Vince McMahon’s son wants change. He wants something new and fresh. He wants Monday Night Raw to be powerful again, to be trendsetting, and more importantly, he wants it to be fun. Shane McMahon sounds just like a fan but this fan is believed to be on his way to a loss.

Undertaker has lost one time at WrestleMania, but that one loss has followed him since it happened. No matter what he’s done since then, and no matter how many times stories of Brock Lesnar’s unwillingness to pin him are told, Taker is still haunted by WrestleMania 30.

Why in the world would WWE want to add another chapter to that horror movie? This is why fans believe Shane has no chance. But this is exactly why Shane must win on 3 April.

The fact is Undertaker is on the way out. That moment may come this year, it may come next year, or it may come two years from now. But it’s coming and despite how much fans want to see him go out with a win, the truth is Taker is old school. That means he gives back, and likely wants to give back when the time comes.

This does not necessarily mean that he’s going to do the honours to Shane McMahon as a footnote to his WWE career. But it does mean that he has no reason to keep having amazing moments in which he’s presented as unstoppable. After all, the most important part here is the story.

The story of Shane somehow going over against The Deadman would be so incredibly surprising and intriguing, that fans would undoubtedly be anxious to tune in. Of course, this is not to say Taker should lose cleanly; a distraction, outside interference, something unexpected, should happen here.

WWE must find a way to make Undertaker look strong as well as give the win to Shane McMahon. Raw is the most important thing here, and that is not going to change until someone other than The Authority is on the air, calling the shots.

As long as the ending is logical, and as long as it’s leading to something worthwhile, there is no reason to believe Undertaker will not do business here. Moving the company forward is what matters, and Undertaker has always been a major part of that.
