5 Potential Finishes for The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho at the Greatest Royal Rumble 

The Undertaker's highly anticipated return could be full of surprises
The Undertaker's highly anticipated return could be full of surprises

When the announcement was first made, the world was shocked. The Undertaker and Rusev were to collide at the Greatest Royal Rumble in a casket match. The match was subsequently changed and made even bigger. It would be a dream match between The Undertaker and Chris Jericho instead, at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

This match is significant because The Undertaker has not wrestled twice in the same month for a while. We wonder if this is the precursor to a full-fledged run from The Dead Man. Does he have it in him to dominate WWE once more?

While that is a question that will remain unanswered for now, we shall look at answering the question on everyone's mind. How will the match at the Greatest Royal Rumble play out?

Here are FIVE interesting possibilities.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#5 Sting comes out of the casket, helps Jericho win

WWE fa
WWE fans in Saudi Arabia could be in for a treat

Sting just pops up in the unlikeliest of places, doesn't he? In the 90s, he used to come down from the rafters and wreak havoc upon the nWo. He even showed up during the unveiling of Seth Rollins' statue. There's every possibility that he could emerge from within a casket.

If he does, we could have the dream face-off that we've always dreamed off. Fans have wanted The Undertaker and Sting to face off for a really long time, but the clash has always been held off owing to health issues and concerns from both of the men. Even if Sting is not medically cleared for a match, this is always a possibility!

Jericho would obviously be the winner thanks to this confrontation. It would be a very interesting match and one with long-term consequences.

#4 Chris Jericho wins the match clean

This is a rare but interesting possibility
This is a rare but interesting possibility

Chris Jericho is one of the greatest to lace up a pair of boots. As he proved during his match with Kenny Omega recently, he can still go at his age. As he has proved during his recent run, he is not afraid to put over younger talent. Therefore, this match with The Undertaker could be a chance for him to pick up a pretty big win.

Jericho and The Undertaker could take each other to the limit. While it would be strange indeed to see Jericho dragging The Undertaker into the casket, there's a possibility that as The Undertaker stands on the apron, Jericho hits a Codebreaker on him. The Undertaker would then fall into the casket.

Jericho would take advantage of this opportunity to rush over and close the lid immediately. If this situation were to actually transpire, it would be a pretty big deal for Jericho. Defeating the Phenom is really no mean feat.

#3 John Cena helps Jericho win

Is there another match left in their feud?
Is there another match left in their feud?

John Cena was squashed like a bug at WrestleMania 34. It was an odd match after the weeks of build leading to this 'dream contest'. The only logical explanation was that this was the first match of very many. Could Cena seek retribution at the Greatest Royal Rumble?

We do know that Cena will be a part of this pay-per-view and therefore, we deem it quite likely that he plays some kind of a role during the casket match. We have a feeling that him and The Undertaker are far from done with one another, following WrestleMania.

#2 SAnitY attacks both men leaving them unable to continue

What better way for this stable to make an instant impression?
What better way for this stable to make an instant impression?

There were strong rumours that SAnitY would be called up following WrestleMania. This was not to be, leaving many quite puzzled. There could be the only logical explanation for the same. Maybe the idea is for them to make a grand debut on a bigger stage than we originally believed.

Imagine the two veterans taking one another to the limit. And then SAnitY's theme song hits and these deranged ones step out to bring utter chaos upon the two superstars. They could leave The Undertaker and Chris Jericho lying in a heap in the middle of the ring.

This could cause The Undertaker and Jericho to forge some kind of alliance against SAnitY. It would be the ultimate rub from these two veterans for this promising young stable.

#1 The Undertaker squashes Chris Jericho

Don't look over your shoulder, Chris!
Please don't look over your shoulder, Chris!

The Undertaker made short work of John Cena at WrestleMania 34. We have a feeling he will make short work of Chris Jericho too. The Undertaker is no longer a young man and possibly cannot have longer matches. We have a feeling he will defeat Jericho easily.

This is probably the reason why Rusev was replaced in this contest. WWE did not want him to suffer a loss of this nature. Jericho is a legend and it possibly won't hurt him.

As for the WWE Universe, we expect them to be thrilled with the eventual outcome. It's always a great sight to see this undead legend stand tall!

Which of these possibilities do you find most likely?
