Bray Wyatt, the WWE Hall of Fame and More from the Stipulation Mailbag

WrestleMania 32 is just over one week away, and fans are getting antsy. This year's road has been riddled with injuries and the continued controversy of whether Roman Reigns is a top guy. Still, when fans file into AT&T Stadium in record numbers on April 3, every minute detail that has worked against the current build will be just that—minute.

However, that's assuming the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony ends before WrestleMania.

Hall Night Long? 

I wouldn't categorize the WWE Hall of Fame as a joke as much as it is a celebration. Sure, WWE is lenient when it comes to who it lets in, but it's all about selling tickets and celebrating the past. Just about every WWE Superstar who had a memorable career and is in Vince McMahon's good graces will enter the Hall. My problem with the Hall of Fame is the amount of inductees.

I was at the Hall of Fame ceremony last year, and it lasted forever. It feels like I just got out yesterday. I thought WWE would learn its lesson, but as I mentioned on WZ Daily, the graphic for the WWE Hall of Fame on Monday's Raw looked like that of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Last year's marathon saw seven WWE Hall of Fame inductees. Nine inductees have been announced this year, with the annual celebrity inductee likely to be named. Will there be enough microphones to go around?

Last Ride?

@ThisIsNasty 1. Do all signs point to an Undertaker retirement? 2. If so, was there a better candidate to retire him?

I don't think any sign ever points to a retirement. There are just too many examples of retirement stipulations being nullified in pro wrestling. Even in this case, WWE has been careful with its wording for both a Shane McMahon victory and an Undertaker loss.

If Shane wins, he gets control of Raw. Broadcasters have been assuming that means he controls WWE, but Vince McMahon and The Authority could always jump ship to SmackDown to wage war via a brand split.

If The Undertaker loses, many assume he will have to retire, but the stipulation only mandates that this WrestleMania will be his last. So, technically, he can always compete at SummerSlam, the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series or, yes, even WrestleMania. 

Think about it. If Shane wins, what power does Vince McMahon's stipulation carry? Vince will no longer be in power, therefore Shane McMahon can simply lift the WrestleMania ban the next night on Raw as a makeup gesture.

Undertaker is 51 years old. With this being his 24th WrestleMania and in his home state of Texas, it wouldn't be a shock if this was his last. But WWE has left itself with plenty of breathing room to back out of any retirement scenario should he lose.

Wyatt on the Set?

@ThisIsNasty Should Bray Wyatt to be left off the mania card?

For a group that currently has no WrestleMaina match with just over one week to go, The Wyatt Family sure has been a fixture in Raw main events.

No group of wrestlers has been more victimized by WWE's string of injuries than The Wyatt Family. Just as Zack Ryder backed into a WrestleMania spot due to Neville's injury, per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Marc Middleton of WrestlingInc.com), the Wyatts seemed to be squeezed out of the WrestleMania picture due to injuries to top stars.

It's almost as if WWE feels bad for the Wyatts being on the outside looking in, so it's keeping the unit  relevant by featuring it in Raw main events. With just about every match set, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal seems to be the landing spot. Sure, it's a disappointment, but if The Wyatt Family wins in dominant fashion, with WWE even teasing dissension at some point, it would be worthwhile.

There's also the possibility that the Wyatts get involved in one of the major WrestleMania matches. Given the Wyatts' history with The Undertaker, perhaps it helps Shane McMahon defeat The Deadman. Getting involved with the Brock Lesnar-Dean Ambrose match—both of whom are rivals of the Wyatts—is also a possibility.

Something tells me The Wyatt Family will have a significant impact on WrestleMania, even if it isn't announced for a match.
