Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon in Need of Extra Stipulation at WWE WrestleMania 32

Shane McMahon vs. Undertaker is set to occur at WWE WrestleMania 32 with Shane earning the reins to Raw if he can somehow emerge victorious. Despite being the most anticipated matchup on the card as of now, there is plenty more WWE can do to make it as must-see as possible.

Shane O'Mac shockingly returned to WWE TV following a seven-year absence on the Feb. 22 edition of Raw to confront Vince and Stephanie McMahon.

After revealing that he still had a stake in the company, he was coerced into wrestling one last match at WrestleMania against Undertaker. A win would boot The Authority from power.

That announcement alone eclipsed anything that had been confirmed for the event up to that point. It was the injection of excitement the show desperately needed seeing as it will be lacking a significant amount of star power because of injuries to several Superstars.

Currently, that is all we know about the match. Undertaker appeared on Raw for the first time in over three months last Monday, though his elaborate entrance lasted longer than his actual promo did.

He simply said Shane's blood was on Vince's hands at WrestleMania before exiting the arena. To say the least, it was a disappointing use of Undertaker, as WWE missed a prime opportunity to add an extra stipulation to the match right then and there.

Granted, less than one month remains until WrestleMania, so there is an ample amount of time for WWE to make the match grander than it already is.

Regardless of who wins, the entire landscape of WWE should be shaken up by the next night's Raw. Shane running Raw would undoubtedly be a breath of fresh air, but if Undertaker is able to defeat him in their match, Raw will return to the same old status quo.

A stipulation should be put in place that something will change if Undertaker falls short of victory on the grandest stage of them all.

With the storied streak no longer intact, there needs to be a bigger hook than The Deadman wanting to go 23-1 at WrestleMania.

Of course, the most obvious answer would be for Undertaker to retire if he is unsuccessful in overcoming Shane. It can be a voluntary decision by the future WWE Hall of Famer, or more logically, The Authority can hang that over his head as a way for him to do what it demands.

Besides, fans have assumed for months that Undertaker will be wrapping up his legendary career in his native Texas at WrestleMania.

Although that has yet to be confirmed, it wouldn't be completely out of the question.

Once again, however, Raw would remain the same come April 4 if Undertaker reigned supreme. Shane would likely disappear from programming while The Phenom would continue to compete on a part-time schedule.

Could Undertaker be granted a future WWE World Heavyweight Championship match if he wins against Shane? Or could The Authority promise him something even more prestigious if he does its bidding?

Either way, Shane McMahon vs. Undertaker is the perfect match to switch up WWE's tired formula. For too long, Raw has felt stagnant and hasn't undergone any cosmetic changes in several years.

With Shane at the helm, the flagship show could be intriguing again—if only for a few weeks. But on the off chance that he comes up short, fans won't be as inclined to tune into Raw from that point forward knowing nothing will be different, which is why another stipulation for their match is necessary.

As noted, the build to this bout has so far been relatively decent. Undertaker's underwhelming return last week was followed up with an entertaining exchange between Vince and Shane on this week's episode, but more can be done to boost interest in the match.
