#4 WWE should not bring back Mud Matches

Mud gimmick matches in WWE come in two forms: the Mud Wrestling match and the Chocolate Mud match. The similarity is that both are women's exclusive matches and have not made an appearance since the Women's Evolution has started.

Some of the most infamous mud wrestling matches are Trish Stratus and Stacey Keibler's 2002 Raw match as well as the 2014 mud match between Vickie Guerrero and Stephanie McMahon.

Despite the mud match's appeal to WWE's testosterone-driven male audiences, it is a match that WWE should prefer not to bring back, especially in today's era.

#3. WWE should bring back the Buried Alive Match

There is no other gimmick match more synonymous with The Undertaker, than the Buried Alive match. The match helped cement The Phenom's legacy as one of the best superstar storytellers in the business today.

Steve Austin, Kane and Mankind are some of the superstars Taker has faced in the historic match type.

A match where the goal is to bury your opponent "six feet under" is ideal for concluding storied rivalries.

However, some would say that due to the Deadman's retirement, we will never see the match again. There are cases for a "one more match," or perhaps a future emerging star with a gimmick similar to that of Taker could continue Buried Alive's legacy.
