Hey guys. I was playing WWE '13 exhibition mode yesterday and felt like doing a 3-on-1 handicap match as The Shield. I looked through the potential opponents and settled on The Undertaker.
That got me thinking about an actual feud between them and quite honestly, I'd love to see it at WrestleMania. It may seem far-fetched, but let me explain.
Taker returns some time between Rumble and Elimination Chamber and cuts a promo about how he intends to extend the streak. During the promo, The Shield descends from the audience and kicks The Deadman's ass.
The Shield would explain the attack by saying that Taker showing up once per year and having everything handed to him is the greatest injustice of all in the WWE.
The Shield eventually challenges Taker to a Mania match and despite everyone saying he shouldn't take it due to the odds being stacked against him, he does.
It's made into a No Holds Barred match and The Shield dominates for much of it, but perhaps Kane runs down and interferes on his brother's behalf. This leads to Taker winning and keeping the streak alive.
Before saying that The Shield would be buried by losing a 3-on-1 match, just consider the fact that they're facing Taker at Mania. Win or lose, that equals a major rub for Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns.
Also, we get one last Brothers of Destruction moment, so everyone ends up being happy.
I was disappointed when the Nexus and Taker thing went nowhere, but the WWE has a chance to do it right with Taker and The Shield. If Punk, Cena and Lesnar all have other opponents to deal with, I firmly believe this should be the match.
What do the rest of you think?

I've always wanted to see Undertaker in a triple threat match at Wrestlmania, then his streak would be in real jeopardy, don't know why they've never done it

Good GOD no. Undertaker only has a few Wrestlemanias left in him. Let's not waste them.

Facing an up-and-coming heel group that is likely to produce 2 and possibly even 3 future main-event stars is a waste? If nothing else, it would create some doubt about whether or not Taker would actually win. I still would like to see him face Punk and Cena, but he has a few Manias left in him considering the fact that he only has to wrestle once per year. |

I would've had Undertaker confront a Champion about a Wrestlemania match and then the Royal Rumble winner confront that same Champion |

There'd be no actual chance of The Shield going over, so it'd just be "another Undertaker match". Unless Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns become well developed in the next several weeks... they should be nowhere near the WrestleMania card this year.

I'm not sure I understand that school of thought. Why leave the hottest, most-exciting thing in professional wrestling right now off the WrestleMania card? If anything, they should be put in a high-profile match and this would satisfy it. |

Not a bad idea, they could say it's an injustice that The Undertaker only shows up at Wrestlemania. It would make three stars in one match, Taker would obviously go to 21-0. It's a fresh idea, and WWE could always use those.

If all Undertaker can do is a quick squash, then The Shield would be good opponents. They'd be killed after it, of course, if three of them get beaten by one old man. If Undertaker can work a decent match, I'd prefer to see Undertaker/Triple H vs CM Punk/Lesnar. Defenders of WWE vs Arrogant Ingrates kind of thing.
If 'Taker wants to do a one on one match, Brock Lesnar would be a great opponent for him. And I'd love to see Evolution vs The Shield.

They deserve it far more. The Shield don't deserve to come in and steal a spot on the WM card when they've only been relevant for a couple of months. |

This would make less sense than when everybody wanted Undertaker vs. The Nexus 2 years ago....and Nexus actually attacked Undertaker TWICE and still that would have been a horrible match and a waste of the ONE Undertaker match we get per year.
If the way the Shield was reckless and injured Tommy Dreamer is any indication of their level of protection for their opponents, I want them nowhere near The Undertaker, who is in a fragile condition as it is.

Give me The Shield, who have reinvigorated the product, on the card rather than a boring guy who has "paid his dues" like Randy Orton. Also, just because The Shield has only been in WWE for a month doesn't mean they haven't paid their dues. Rollins and Ambrose in particular have put in just as much work as anyone on the roster, but they did it on the Indy scene. They shouldn't be punished for that. It's a matter of entertainment value and The Shield is more entertaining than pretty much anything in the WWE currently. |

Nobody gives a damn about The Shield. We love it because we love Black and Moxley. The average WWE viewer doesn't even know their individual names. They know the group The Shield. That's about it. That's why I said unless they become much more developed, as in becoming their own characters and not just some vigilantes who may or may not be with Punk.

Though it would never happen I would actually love the idea of Evolution vs Shield. They have already taken out Orton and you could have Triple H fued with them because he is trying to protect his company or something cliche like that. I'm sure Batista would at least think about a one off match if they throw a bunch of cash at him.
Rock/Cena/Punk
Taker/Lesnar
Evolution/Shield
That would be a strong base to the card.

It's a matter of entertainment value and The Shield is more entertaining than pretty much anything in the WWE currently. I would have to say you made the most sense to me with this topic, i totally agree to everythign you said. I would love to see.. The Shield Vs The Streak at WRESTLEMANIA 29! -Such a great idea to say that Undertaker comign back every year is an injustice, it would be the best thing WWE could do with the SHIELD. The undertaker would love to put over these guys win or lose. I think taker would win, but what a match that would be, i would be on the edge of my seat awaiting to see if THE STREAK REMAINS or if THE SHIELD PREVAILS! --------- Also though... I would love to see such matches as.. The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar The Undertaker vs Cm Punk The Undertaker vs THE ROCK The Undertaker vs John CENA The Undertaker vs Ryback The Undertaker vs Dolph Ziggler The Undertaker vs THE SHIELD sounds perfect for WRESTLEMANIA 29 In my opinion. I could def. see THE SHEILD vs Evolution as a possible scenario! That would be awesome if Batista came back for one match at WrestleMANIA 29 and team up with HHH, and Orton with Flair as there guy leading them into MANIA gettign them all back together for this match. |

Then again, many here complain about talent not being showcased. I find it stupid to say they have only been relevant for a 'couple months'. Well, they've only been here for 'a couple months' so they've been relevant since the very beginning, which is not something every wrestler can say about their own career. Do I want to see the match? Not really, but there's no denial that kayfabe wise, The Shield would indeed be a threat to the streak, but in reality I wouldn't be worried about the streak being broken by them together.
Brock, while a good choice, doesn't seem right either. I find it incongruous to say that they fear The Shield could injure The Undertaker after what happened with Dreamer, yet want to see him face Lesnar, as if Lesnar was more safe.
In my opinion, the only people left that I think could break the streak are Cena, Punk and possibly Ryback if they really want to push him.

I would love to see Undertaker & Team Hell No vs. The Sheild at 'Mania. Would give Taker a match without him having to fight the whole time.

They haven't contributed more than a few months to WWE's product. |
