They might be setting it up, but they won't follow through with it. WWE has a horrible habit of setting up Mania matches for Taker months and months in advance, then going with something totally random at the last minute. The only real thing to the contrary I can think of in recent years was Edge. HBK/Taker also

I'm talking more whenever each year they seem to try and set something up around Survivor Series-ish. Wait, there was Kane. Still, does that even count since Taker was gone the whole time? They kind of had no choice but to roll with it after that.

I think its planting the seeds of a Cena vs. 'Taker WM main event. If it is Undertakers last match then he defiantly should not loose. But since Cena is the golden goose Taker shouldn't go over either. The match should end in a draw. Taker is still undefeated and you could call it an undefeated streak while saying Cena was the one who ended it.

For Mania, I hope so. Thats the biggest match they could possibly do, imo, and its one that Id love to see.

*Sigh.* No. No they're not. I have no idea what this obsession is with having Taker/Cena at Mania, but I doubt it happens. It was a one time thing.

The only reason I see is the blind tag by Cena. Alls I gotta say is that if he's going against Cena at Mania, Taker needs to retire after that. That's the last real big match-up left for him at Mania. The Rock hasn't ever danced with the Dead Man at Mania. But since that's all of a pipe dream that will never happen, and wouldn't do either man any good.... I think you might be right. They may not have wrestled but they did dance at Wrestlemania 20. They got sooooo wasted backstage together.

I still think they're going to revisit the Taker/Punk/Armstrong/McMahon/Long "screwjob" ordeal after Survivor Series, leading to Undertaker/McMahon at Wrestlemania XXVI.
If anything, they've planted the seeds with that feud a little more by McMahon saying he is "retired" from in-ring action....I could see him coming out of "retirement" to challenge Undertaker at Mania, saying he's faced Hogan and Michaels and even his own son...why not the Undertaker?
Imagine the irony...basically, whether the Undertaker's streak survives each Wrestlemania in essence depends on Vince McMahon. He can end it at any chance he gets, and that could play into the storyline and shoot a bit: I've allowed you to win each and every year; I won't have to allow you to win, I'll just beat you!
Hell, I'd at least be more likely to believe that McMahon would end the streak rather than a veteran like Michaels or Cena who really don't need the rub.

If The Rock comes back for a Mania match, it has to be against Cena. As for Taker, there's still Sting. But that's even less likely to happen than Rock vs Cena. But isn't Rock/Orton the ultimate 3rd generation singles match? ;D Though I guess that sort of happened already with Rock N Sock vs. Evolution. I don't consider The Rock third generation. It was his mother's father that wrestled. Then his father. Same with Natalya and D,H Smith. Even Ted Dibiase Jr to a degree because his Father is adopted. Pretty much what I'm saying is. Randy Orton is the only person I can think of that is a full blooded third Generation wrestler.

Maybe. Taker never usually needs a reason to Tombstone someone though, much like Austin never needed a reason to Stun someone. And like HHH never needs a reason to Pedigree someone...or so they're trying to convince us.

I was thinking this too, hands down this would be a great match and the crowd would be red hot, but I was thinking Taker might face Jericho too, but that all depends on whether or not Edge comes back. And dare I say it... I want DX vs Hart Dynasty at WM, and MVP (Rumble winner) vs Randy Orton.

I believe they planted the seed for Taker to pass the torch to Cena by having him end the streak. It will be a sad, sad day. If that happens, I will (NO JOKE) march my ass straight to Stamford, gathering a crowd of people behind me and spraypaint YOU SUCK VINCE right on the side of Titan Towers. And then we WILL riot. It will be a horrible orgy of destruction all the way to the top of the towers.

I imagine it is, what with the "Everything you see in this ring is fake....except for this. This is real............very real!" Seriously, this would be a HORRIBLE storyline.

Interesting idea, I hadn't thought of it that way. But please, don't have Cena be the one ending the streak.

Taker is still undefeated and you could call it an undefeated streak while saying Cena was the one who ended it. I'd be OK with it happening, if it led to a Cena heel turn. But at this point, not only is it the only way I could accept The Streak ending, but I think that's ALSO the only way I'd be OK with Cena turning.

The only real thing to the contrary I can think of in recent years was Edge. True, I remember they DID try to make Kane & Undertaker vs. Snitsky & Heidenreich years ago...think we all know why that wasn't good. Or, hell, remember Taker vs. A-Train & Big Show? Wasn't he supposed to have a partner? We know why, of course...
