Newest WrestleMania Match Announced: The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
Earlier today, it was announced that Roman Reigns would step into the ring with The Undertaker. Back at the Royal Rumble PPV, The Big Dog would eliminate The Deadman shortly after 'Taker had eliminated Goldberg. Last week on RAW, The Undertaker attacked Roman Reigns upon being told that it was his (Roman's) yard now.
My thoughts: This match could have been seen coming ever since January. Vince (or WWE, as I am unsure of who is pulling the strings) seems to be really keen on Roman Reigns being "the guy", which is perfectly fine. What is not fine, in my humble opinion is the almost incessant push that he is getting. Even in the days of The Shield, it was clear that Roman was to be the breakout star, the prodigy; however, that is not how it worked out (that distinction went to Seth Rollins).
I really feel like Reigns is going to beat The Undertaker and make this 'Taker's last run, but that will make Reigns heel number 1. Now, I hate to sound like a card-carrying member of the Internet Wrestling Community, but a heel turn could be just what Roman needs. The likelihood of this happening though could be none to slim.
The chief problem about Reigns and the fans is that the fans don't like being told who to root for. And Vince (or whomever) IS telling you who to root for (if that wasn't true, why would they edit out boos?).
I strongly feel as though Roman will ultimately go over, but this will prove even more to his detriment. No matter how much the E tries to force Reigns on the fans, the more and more they will be put off.

I swear, if they have Reigns retire Undertaker, I will give up on whatever show Reigns is on. They are force feeding the fans Reigns and trying to force him into becoming the replacement for Cena. Not going to work. The fans will create the next icon when they are ready.
