#5 Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker
Trending
Why?
This match doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but as its own spectacle could really work well. You could base it on the fact that Roman eliminated ‘Taker from the Rumble – effectively costing him a title shot at ‘Mania. Also, it’s a great way to give Roman a signature position on the card without including him in a third title match in as many years.

Some would argue that facing ‘Taker is more prestigious than the championship belts anyway! Their staredown at the Rumble was received quite well, and it’s not a match we’ve seen before – at least not since Roman became a singles star.
Who wins?
You could do so much with this match.
The trick would be not to fall into the trap of having a babyface Roman take on a babyface Taker. The crowd are clearly going to be in the Deadman’s corner for this one, so why not use it as a catalyst for a Reigns heel turn?
Imagine how much more effective Roman would be as an out-and-out heel going against one of the biggest legends the company has. Also, if booking the end to this match is proving difficult, you could even go as far as to have Reigns win by underhand tactics.
Roman avoids a loss at ‘Mania, and Taker retains his dignity. The options are more numerous now that the streak is over, so now is the time to utilise them.
