Any talk of Undertaker vs. Braun Strowman is now 99 percent dead. I guess the fan backlash caused them to change their mind because the new plan is now for Stowman to win the Andre The Giant battle royal. He would get a major push after that so he could eventually go into a feud with Roman Reigns and a potential pay-per-view match with Brock Lesnar. The Lesnar vs. Strowman match is currently on the books for SummerSlam.
There is no word on what the new plans are for The Undertaker but Cena is still a possibility if he is able to heal up in time. I’ve said this before but my hunch is that Cena will make it back in time because he has been able to recover much faster from previous injuries than most guys.
Kevin Owens made a strong pitch for a match with The Undertaker but that was shot down.
