Will Undertaker cost Roman his match at Fastlane?

I think that in this match just to protect Strowman and Reigns they will get Undertaker to interfere in the match and cost Roman the match as a revenge and also to setup their Wrestlemania match.

I don't see any other way for this match to end because I don't think they want Reigns or Strowman to lose clean.

Maybe they'll use the cocky like Reigns threw out as foundation for the story rather than the fact Roman eliminated him. The veteran Taker who weeks prior had announced he was "back" and shit being blatantly disrespected by the up and coming Reigns? "This is my yard now" no doubt Taker takes exception to that more than just the elimination

I think at this point, no matter what they did it would be impossible to make Undertaker a heel, the fans love and respect him too much to boo him. Especially in a rivalry against the hated-Roman. Putting him in a rivalry against Roman where Roman is to be the face, they would literally be throwing Roman to the wolves. It's almost like they're trying to sabotage him

It seems to be an easy way to set things up, but it feels almost too predictable. I can see them purposelessly avoiding it. As much as this might bother people, given that I think Strowman is going to be lower on the card than Reigns at Mania, I can see Reigns actually winning the match cleanly. They're not going to fire Strowman or ship him in a box to Louisville or anything, but I can see the idea being to give Reigns what they will call a mammoth victory in order to position him for Undertaker, while Strowman responds by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Do they really bang on about him being undefeated or anything? It's more that he's dominant. I can see the WWE's rationale being that the loss will be a huge moment.

And at this point, I think the WWE is well aware that Reigns is already a heel to most people. They are positioning him against "The Conscience of WWE" at WrestleMania. It's possible that Vince still has it in his mind that Reigns is going to magically be accepted as the babyface one day, but with Rollins and Balor around, I can see him being the positioned as the dude who gets into battles with them, gets booed by some fans, but *wink wink* is still the hero.

But yeah, don't be too shocked if Reigns hits that Spear on Strowman at Fastlane and hands him his first pinfall loss in quite a while. The gong might go off after.

Let's be honest, the only way that Reigns will lose in a tainted fashion is if Taker costs him, Strowman doesn't have the character to attempt to cheat, i'll be a hard hitting match. So, going with that, i honestly don't even think WWE are that stupid as to make Taker cost Reigns, because there is absolutely no way that the crowd would get behind Taker to beat Reigns, Taker interfering would just bring 'Thank you Taker' chants and get a big pop.

So for me, Reigns is winning, i can't see any other outcome, unless WWE have totally lost their minds.

This is a more succinct way of getting to what I was trying to. Thumbs way up to this. The other option is that they fight to a double countout or something. I know -- it sucks -- but I can see them thinking that's their way out. Reigns will probably still stand tall and then an Undertaker entrance might be used to try and wash the taste out of people's mouths. But my guess is that Reigns hits a Spear on The Monster Among The Monsters Among Men and gets the clean pin.

I don't really get any of this Undertaker talk. I know the rumour is Reigns gets Taker at 'Mania and so far basically every 'Mania prediction has come true but the reasoning by people here as to why Taker gets involved in this match are really weak.

I'd also find it incredibly frustrating too if after weeks of build that I've actually really enjoyed, Reigns and Strowman don't get to work a proper match with a definitive finish and Strowman has to drop back to allow Taker shenanigans. Just, what is the point of it all? They've left it so damn late to start building for Reigns/Taker at 'Mania it isn't even funny. They just gonna do this program for three weeks and then once 'Mania is over Reigns goes back to Strowman like nothing happened? That just undermines everything involved, in my mind.

I also don't get the arguments about people saying that neither man can lose clean here, why? Because you don't like Roman Reigns? He is their golden child, even now, losing clean to Roman Reigns wouldn't hurt Strowman at all in kayfabe/creative terms because... its Roman Reigns, the superman of WWE.

I much, much, prefer the suggestion by someone else here that Reigns is the first guy to pin Strowman giving him HUGE momentum to go into his match with Taker now this feud has an ending and since Strowman finally lost, he can use that momentum to perhaps go on absolute warpath and eliminate EVERYONE from the Andre Memorial or something.

Undertaker as a character is a little bitch, he does that all the time. He always attacks people who beat him fairly. He also couldn't beat Brock, so he just kept hitting him in the balls and somehow they pretended that he was still a babyface. :lmao

No. Reigns is winning. Strowman is getting the best of Roman every week. He's losing.

Why do they need to waste taker for that goon to begin with?
Cena or styles would have been the best choice but these 2 are getting midcard matches. One talented guy will carry a non wrestler like shane the other one will have a mixed tag team match lol
You know the 2 guys that tear the house down every time for the biggest title. Feeling bad for styles and cena...really now.



If no roman heelturn happens wwe can go fuck themselves.
At this point its nothing than a prank/trolling.


B2T:
Yes taker will appear at fast lane!
Undertaker will recieve the most cheers in his life at mania 100%

Surely, if the plan is Taker-Reigns for Mania, this CAN'T be Taker's retirement?

It's not even close to a "dream match", Reigns won't be getting the win, and they haven't even hinted at this Mania being Taker's last yet. It'd be a massive selling point that the WWE would be exploiting all the way from The Rumble if it were.

I don't know where this Mania card is going, but all of my hopes are being dashed one at a time, as they announce shite match after shite match.

1). Why wouldn't Reigns get the win?

2). They haven't hinted that this bout is Undertaker's last because the build hasn't started. Additionally, selling it as Undertaker's final match would basically spoil the result.
