The Undertaker: Why WWE Needs Undertaker Back as Soon as Possible

There is no question that Undertaker is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step into a ring, but the lack of top-tier talent in the WWE means his time away from the sport has to end.

Undertaker would have to go to SmackDown to try to save the plethora of mediocre workers they have on the show and bring the fans back to Friday nights.

While the WWE has done some great things with Undertaker away from the sport, there is no question that the ratings and in-ring product would be much better than it was since he beat Triple H at WrestleMania 27.

The problem is what does WWE do with Undertaker and the rest of the top stars on the show?

Word from the Wrestlezone is that the World Title run for Mark Henry will extend for much longer than originally planned and could culminate with a bout at WrestleMania 28 against Sheamus.

With the World Title and two of the bigger stars tied up in an extensive feud that will last months, the road for Undertakers return is quite obvious.

Randy Orton.

The best part of Undertaker is that he is so over and his gimmick makes him such a loner that he can feud with a heel or face and it still comes off as a legitimate battle every time. Other stars in the WWE just can’t pull that off.

With Orton out of the title picture and a feud with Christian already done this year, the WWE will pounce on the opportunity to put their pride and joy Randy Orton in a feud with what could be the most popular wrestler of the last 15 years in Undertaker.

While there are definitely more interesting angles the WWE could take, this is the biggest win-win situation they could ever hope for.

The WWE can have Orton lose at WrestleMania and not have to worry about the repercussions of having a famous star try to persuade the WWE to let them end Undertaker's streak.

This feud will not be hard to develop, and the return of the dead man will make Randy Orton look more powerful by having him be Undertaker’s hand-chosen opponent for WrestleMania 28.

No matter who Undertaker faces at WrestleMania, the WWE needs him back as soon a s possible to bring more credibility to SmackDown and add more depth to the storylines and matchups.
