The Undertaker was at the SmackDown! tapings this week. Many were surprised that he showed up, because he had to fly to Birmingham, and has been focusing on his shoulder rehab.
While he was there to spend time with real-life girlfriend Michelle McCool, he was also there to watch the angle develop involving Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel and Ezekiel Jackson joining Wade Barrett on SmackDown!. Both Barrett and Jackson have been rumored as opponents for Taker at WrestleMania, due to the fact that they want to book him in a match where he won’t be expected to put on the physically taxing type of match that he’s had in recent years with Shawn Michaels. The idea is to give him a match on the card where he can keep the streak alive, but not feel the pressure to top the last two years.
Kane has also been discussed as a possible opponent.
