The tag match itself could be alright if Roman does all the work, and tags in Taker for his hot tag and finish.
However, anything more than passable would need better heels than McIntyre and surefire Golden Snowcone winner Shane McMahon.

I really wish they'd do something interesting with Undertaker if they're gonna use him. So many fresh opponents he could face, but they go with the most boring/lowest potential match possible.

It will be fine. The last 2 matches sucked but who was he against? Goldberg, Shawn Michaels and Triple H.
Have Drew bump his ass off for him on his spots and all will be well, and you know Drew is getting up for the chokeslam and tombstone alot smoother than Goldberg or Triple H can.

Rusev was fine from what I remember. Cena was a squash so...? Harper and Bray I can't remember, and yeah the Reigns match sucked but I still say that's 50/50.

If they have to keep Taker around have him do squashes. The crowd will pop for his entrance, they’ll erupt for the quick finish and they’ll be happy it’s over.

Crowd was into it and Taker's punches still looked good. Big boot looked good too. With Drew bumping and selling it should go OK. The Goldberg match died because Bill knocked himself loopy on the ringpost, the first part of it was fine.

Honestly, I think Taker is so broken down that they don't want to go with the interesting scenarios (Styles, Rollins, Bryan, etc.) because it would never live up to the hype. However, they think they can protect the guy's aura by having him go around five minutes against Rusev, Cena, Goldberg, or putting him with old opponents in front of international markets that might be more forgiving (HHH/DX tag) of his faults.

I will give them credit for one thing. At least Roman was getting his ass whooped by Shane and Drew, making a partner necessary. I will never forget a few years ago, John Cena beat up Miz and R-Truth at the same time. Then, inexplicably, he decided that his rival, The Rock, was the only one who could help him beat those two. The entire wrestling world was like, "You were doing pretty good on your own!"

I want to use the "stop, stop, he's already dead!" Simpsons Meme but that's kinda been his gimmick this whole time so now I don't know what to do.

Don't forget Roman feuding with Jericho and Owens when Roman would kick both their asses every RAW, just for Cole to question about Roman overcoming the odds lol.

I was actually fine with the Cena match last year. They did the typical Undertaker match with the usual spots that only went about 5 minutes, he looked good, and it did a lot to erase the bad taste the Roman match left in a lot of people's mouths. As someone who's been a fan since he first came in in 1990, it felt like the perfect swansong for him. Then they brought him back for GRR for the Rusev match, and that was fine, albeit unnecessary. But then the last two Saudi shows happened, and...ouch. So I don't know about this.

Look at Shane’s face. Even he’s like “...why?”

Undertaker either has the largest offshore drug lord account ever or he's like Big Show going bust on strip malls. No inbetween.

It really is amazing how WWE has not only done the thing they constantly mocked WCW for in always bringing back the old guard and not making new stars, but have like... done it a million times worse than they ever did.

Does anyone else think that it will come out that The Undertaker misread the contract and thought that this was another Saudi Arabian show? He thought this was "The Extremest Rules!!"

A part of me thought this might be setting up Undertaker vs Drew McIntyre which I'd be open to if Drew starts showing some personality to back up his in ring talent.
