How would she book The Undertaker's last match?

"I will always be a creature of the night and, no matter how cool The Undertaker looks on his motorcycle, he will always be the Lord of Darkness to me. If The Undertaker was to have one final match and really call it a career, the man who should send him off is Aleister Black.

Black is Undertaker’s natural successor and a character who carries some of his same traits but can work for a modern audience.

Unlike Undertaker, Black’s not meant to have special powers. Instead he’s a man with an interest in the occult who embraces the darker side of life. The two characters have a connection that’s yet to be fully explored by WWE and Black is a much better fit for Undertaker than Bray Wyatt ever was.

I would love to see The Undertaker pass the torch (and maybe even his Ministry of Darkness) robe to Black. Of course this should take place at a WrestleMania and I’d give it around 15 minutes with a casket match stipulation.

It doesn’t even have to take place in the arena as, like the Boneyard match, they could do a great job of presenting something really cool and hiding Undertaker’s limitations if they pre-recorded it. The ending should be Black getting Undertaker into the casket and closing the lid on the character forever."
