As generic HHH fan #456 on this forum I can tell you this for sure ; He isn't fucking wrestling with short hair. Will he referee a Brock-Taker match ? Maybe.... Will he wrestle ? FUCK NO.

Summerslam 2012 was used to setup Taker-Lesnar @ Mania. Rock-Punk-Cena happens, Cena takes the title and feuds with Punk post Wrestlemania. Plus, Punk-Taker has no foundation to even be built on at this point.

When Taker returns and confronts Brock, I'll believe it. Until then, nothing can convince me right now that Lesnar/HHH isn't happening. So what if his hair was short? People couldn't believe Taker was wrestling bald, and he wrestled bald... well... he wrestled with a mo-hawk, but still. The whole hair thing isn't enough to change my thinking. It just seemed like standard build where the heel topples the babyface, only for the face to come out in the end when it matters.

Taker/Punk can be built on Punk's desire for respect, and setting his sights on gaining it by doing what no man has never done, and what would cement his legacy forever, and that's end the streak. Granted, without the title it doesn't have the same panache and Taker doesn't have much a reason to fight Punk... but oh well, he didn't have any reason to fight HHH at WM27 besides a loose connection to HBK and he did, and frankly he really doesn't have much reason to fight against Lesnar.

Unless Taker cares for DA GAME!

Punk-Taker makes NO SENSE though. How the hell would that feud even begin ? "I just lost the title which verifies my existence, OH HI UNDERTAKER" .......... Taker-Lesnar actually has legs under it at the moment with the whole Taker-Trips connection. Punk will be added to the championship match and he will get his main event spot.

Big Show-Del Rio was my favourite match of the night too, although the finish was lame.

Tag title match was average.

Royal Rumble was pretty good I thought with the usual credentials. Iron man performances from Ziggler and Jericho (so good to see him back), the surprise entrants - hearing The Godfather's music really made me go 'whaaa!' - and the usual superhero performances from Cena et al. Finish was so anti-climactic though, was expecting Ryback to hold on to the ropes but nope he just falls to the floor like a sack of pigshit. Lame.

Rock-Punk was a very good match, with a couple of botches (one from that table - future endeavours etc) but that didn't detract from the quality. Finish was utter, utter bullshit though. Didn't care who won, but to defeat a guy who has taken on all comers, had a record reign, kicked out of multiple finishing moves, yet he loses to a single solitary elbow. A FUCKING ELBOW. Awful.

There's a ridiculous amount of ways it could go actually.

All he'd have to do is talk about how he rightfully won. Troll the fans on how he's the rightful champ. Mention his reign. Talk about being at the top of the mountain and being unstoppable.

Que Undertaker's music.

Lesnar-Taker makes 10x more sense than Taker-Punk though. I don't understand how nobody realized that this was the plan all along ; Have HHH-Lesnar to build Lesnar back up again, and have your ultimate pay off @ Mania against Taker with HHH in Taker's corner or the special referee or some shit.

Taker-Punk would be out of nowhere whereas Lesnar-Taker would actually have a story behind it.

If you still don't think Taker/Punk makes sense after my post, then I suppose it just won't make sense to you at all.

And by the way, it's not that I think Taker/Punk makes more sense than Taker/Lesnar, but there is sense in all of it and it could work, going back to Punk's desire for respect. I really really hope Taker/Lesnar happens and would far prefer it to Taker/Punk, but I can't see it happening unless, God forbid, something serious happens to HHH.

Frankly, I think the bigger problem with Taker/Punk is the fact Punk doesn't look credible enough right now to fight Taker and beating Rock and keeping the title would've maybe given him enough, but I suppose it is what it is. Once again, Punk/Rock/Cena and Taker/Lesnar sounds A LOT better to me than Rock/Cena II, Lesnar/HHH II, and Taker/Punk from all sides, but I don't know the likeliness of it happening.

It's fucking WWE. Nothing has to make sense. If they REALLY want to do Cena/Rock II for the title it WILL happen. One SHIELD attack onto Taker, and boom, there's Punk vs. Taker set up. I don't know why you're so adamant on saying that "Punk-Taker makes no sense", when it's the WWE.

Yeah but the majority of the fans they're targeting

A) Don't even have a recollection of their previous matches

and

B) Don't read up on gossip sites about their supposed problems with one another
