4) Braun Strowman Will Eliminate The Undertaker

If you watched the January 10th episode of Smackdown Live, you saw the Undertaker declare his intentions to enter the 2017 Royal Rumble match.

What you might have missed was that the camera pointed to Braun Strowman, who was watching the Undertaker very closely backstage. Why show Strowman at all unless they were planting the seeds for something?

WWE has reportedly nixed the idea of a match between the Undertaker and John Cena at Wrestlemania this year. If the Undertaker isn’t facing Cena, than who will be his opponent? We know that WWE is very high on Braun Strowman and they could decide to make this match for Wrestlemania.

The way that the Strowman/ Undertaker story begins will be through the Royal Rumble match. The Undertaker will be dominating, until he meets someone who can match his strength and size. Strowman will go face to face with the Deadman and end up eliminating him from the match.

This would start the storyline for the Undertaker vs Braun Strowman at Wrestlemania.
