I got a bad feeling it's going to be Roman. with the reason being if Roman has Taker's respect, the fans will finally accept him.

"allegedy"
Doesn't mean that it is confirmed.

In 2013 Undertaker praised all 3 Shield guys backstage. I'm assuming he means on TV. As in, Taker gives his respect to Reigns post-match as a way to anoint him/play him up in the eyes of the fans. Obviously, it won't work, but that wouldn't stop them from trying.

i would far rather see aj/undertaker, but whatever. undertaker has been random since his loss to lesnar to say the least.
undertaker has made a career out of trying to get other big guys over...would be fitting for him to go out in that fashion, creative originality and match quality aside.

Yes that's what I meant. After roman beats him I could see taker grabbing the mic putting him over as the real deal. then the show goes off the air with Taker shaking Roman's hand.

Biggest mistake he could possible make is preventing this match from happening. I don't get super kid-like excited anymore for wrestling.. Very rarely do I get that giddy with excitement feeling and anticipation.. But hearing this match was finally about to happen gave me that feeling.. And now I don't anticipate Wrestle-mania like I would have.. It won't be a priority for me come the day. I agree with this. This match would have brought a ton of buzz. I was picturing myself watching the match with my heart pounding out of my chest pulling for Taker. Last time I had that feeling for a match was Sting vs Triple H, since Sting is my favorite of all time. Taker is 3 behind Austin. Regarding his match, the other reports have said that he won't be in a title match and his opponent will NOT be Strowman. Reigns? Perhaps Owens retains and has a program with Jericho or Balor for Mania. Reigns beating Taker would be cringeworthy unless he turns heel. I think people can accept Cena beating him into retirement. But baby face Roman Reigns would just be another sad attempt at trying to get him over. Reigns going over Taker would get Reigns boo'd out of the building.. Brock Lesnar got boo'd when he beat The Undertaker so I can't imagine what it would sound like if Reigns did.

I'm still holding out hope. I really think the stars could still align for this.

They say that silence is deafening..... Wait until they hear the boo's if Reigns goes over Taker. Personally, I'd like to see Taker vs a heel Dean Ambrose.

Personally, I'd like to see Taker vs a heel Dean Ambrose. I was there when it happened and there was that initial shocking silence for a few moments.. You could honestly hear a pin drop in that place, but believe me it was absolutely followed up by a wave of boo's once people realized that was it and there was no coming back.

I hope that is true, and Cena vs Taker IS off the Table!! For two reasons.
1.) for the last month or so, it just feels like that's what WWE wanted to do. Thus putting the fear in me that everything from Royal Rumble all the way through to WrestleMania will just be WAY to predictable, thus not enjoyable. I would Love AJ to retain against Cena, or someone other than Taker win the Rumble. Hell, Cena can win the WWE Title, and Taker win the Rumble, just as long as they don't predictably fight at Mania.
2.) Cena has nothing to gain from beating Taker for what will probably be his last match. If the streak was still alive then maybe, because why not just hand Cena another awesome accolade since WWE loves kissing his ass for who knows what reason. But with the streak beaten, and John Cena forever cemented as an A Player/Main Eventer, and future Hall of Famer what is there for Cena to gain from beating the Dead Man.
Someone like Reigns or Strowman would gain so much more from a win over Taker on the grandest stage of them all.
I would so love to see AJ Styles vs Taker though. I don't think it will happen, but what an awesome dream match that would be.

At Mania For me it's either AJ or nothing. Atleast at the Rumble we might see him collide with Balor, Goldberg and Corbin.

I'm not being funny, but the allure of Undertaker vs John Cena is already losing its appeal due to it constantly being delayed and put back. It's kind of gotten to the point now that it's pretty obviously the only real Undertaker match remaining worth of any kind of significance (despite how good Undertaker vs AJ Styles would be), and the more they keep swerving it, the less hot it is when it finally comes around. Even with talk of a Career vs Title Match for Wrestlemania 33 between the two, it's almost as though it's so painfully clear that it should be happening that it desaturates the 'specialness' of it. I'm pretty sure that they had Strowman watching Undertaker on the TV Monitor as a possible Plan B if they didn't want to go the Undertaker vs John Cena route, but it would be a huge waste and I wouldn't be surprised if the crowd in Orlando destroyed that Match, despite it being Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
The only other alternative that I'd be really happy with would be Roman Reigns vs Undertaker, but that's only on the condition that Reigns is going to go all out mega heel and retire him. If they have Reigns as a face to just go over Undertaker and continue on as this smug happy golden boy, then I literally give up. I have no interest in seeing Reigns go over, and having Undertaker shake his hand in a sign of respect in yet another attempt to get him over. What a waste. I'd have no idea what the alternative for Cena would be for this year by the way, as I'm pretty sure that Roman Reigns vs John Cena for a Title would be certain to happen at Wrestlemania 34, in the whole 'passing of the torch' fiasco.

It's going to be someone off the Raw roster. So I guess, Strow-Man makes sense only if he beats him. There's few people Undertaker could beat this year and it not slow them down.
People treat Undertaker's WM matches like every single one was a 5-Star match, he's only had a handful of entertaining ones (not his fault, imo).

Imagine the response he'd get, Reigns would be the top bad guy in the company. Worst case scenario: Roman looks strong squashing the Undertaker and there's no character progression.

A Roman heel turn has been brought up a billion times. I wish everyone would let it go it isn't going to happen.

Undertaker vs AJ Styles and John Cena vs Samoa Joe can happen then. I wouldn't mind Sting vs Undertaker either.
If Braun Strowman does have a match with anyone at wrestlemania it should be Lesnar. Strowman is the only guy on the roster I wouldn't mind taking all those suplexes.

I would have spent any amount of cash to see Undertaker v. Cena with "The Streak" on the line. The intensity, drama, and downright uneasiness that match would have produced would have been unthinkable. then Cena can beat Taker and become a HEEL

This means nothing to me. Just because strowman was staring at the tv when undertaker was out means the match is happening? Strowman is just the big man of the match trying to destroy everyone. He has had run ins with Rollins, Reigns, and Goldberg too.
