WrestleMania 32 - Hell in a Cell Match - Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker

[Kross Rhodes]

Shane McMahon wants control, but he'll have to fight through Hell against The Undertaker to get it.
The Undertaker has WWE in his veins. He’s been a fixture in the company through thick and thin, destroying opponents and earning respect from the locker room for 25 years and counting. At WrestleMania, though, he’ll stand inside Hell in a Cell across the ring from someone born into WWE royalty and eyeing control over its flagship program Raw: Shane McMahon, the grandson of WWE’s founding father and son of WWE’s current Chairman.

Shane-O-Mac started his career in the WWE warehouse at age 15, fulfilling merchandise orders. In the 25 years that followed, Shane led several departments behind the scenes and rose to the position of Executive Vice President of Global Media, while also becoming a major player on WWE TV. But in 2010, he decided to leave WWE and create his own path, pursuing other business ventures in China, far from the shadow his father Mr. McMahon cast.

On the Feb. 22 Raw, though, Shane unexpectedly returned to WWE to interrupt his sister Stephanie McMahon from becoming the first recipient of the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award. After Mr. McMahon lauded Stephanie for having a “good-hearted soul,” Shane cut off her acceptance speech, irreverently dancing to the ring in a suit and a pair of Air Jordan 1s — a testament to his laid-back, yet corporate, demeanor.

From an outsider, looking at the two(even if for some reason they use an old picture of the Undertaker and a recent one of Shane....) of them live you'd think this match would suck, but I think it will be a pretty good match. Shane just needs to work on making his punches look better, other than that I think it could be a match that really entertains the fans and gets them on their feet going nuts.

At this point in his career, I don't think the Shane-O-Punches are getting any better...

Should Shane bust out his crazy shenanigans, this will be a real sight to see. I only wonder how much The Undertaker has left in his tank?

This might be their last chance to really go all in and I think they're going to try and top some of their previous spots in this match.

This match will get all the smoke and mirrors and will have a hot crowd....this match isnt going to disappoint anyone until an hour later when some assholes try pretend it was "overrated".

I just think the booking for this match has been horrendous. I mean they could've actually built up a credible opponent for Shane but nope lets just have him return and on the same night book him in a HIAC against Undertaker at WM.

Book a returning Shane against the most over guy isn't bad booking. Booking him against a Kevin Owens would be.

Who's more credible than Undertaker?

Abraham Lincoln. Greatest wrestler ever.

It's not that it's just the fact that the whole feud and match solution happened in a matter of twenty minutes.

Vince's greatest creation vs his genetic creation.

Seems like it was bound to happen.

Outside of Bray, HBK @ 26 and Triple H @ 28, that's how all of Taker's recent Mania matches have been set up.

WM30- Brock issued an open challenge, Taker accepted.
WM29- CM Punk won a Fatal Four Way.
WM27- Triple H and Undertaker had a stare down. An awesome stare down but a stare down none the less.
WM25- HBK challenged the night after Elimination Chamber.

Taker isn't one of those guys that needs months worth of build to sell his match at Mania. He and Shane could not have another confrontation and everyone would still look forward to this match than probably any other one on the card.

You definitely have a point there, I guess I just thought they would have a better replacement for John Cena. Like even if they stuck to plans and had Lesnar go against Bray a HIAC match between him and Ambrose would have actually been bonkers. Instead we get Shane "I haven't wrestled in seven years but my daddy thinks this makes sense" McMahon.
