That was a hell of a first segment. Welcome back Shane. Funny to see the head of WWE drop two f-bombs. You'd think he'd know better.
Got a tip for us?

Haha I was on a date at a basketball game and my phone blew up with people texting me when Shane appeared and got booked with Undertaker. I also saw online that in May on ticketmaster its dubbed "RAW vs WWE" so it sounds like they might do a brand split again. Sounds like Shane will win, I'm guessing Taker since his streak is over and can lose now will take a dive or something for Shane. The 1st RAW after Extreme Rules though is the one where the brand split so I'm guessing something happens then.

Haha it is, but when you think about it, that shows how thin the roster is right now with the injuries. We all went wild for the return of a guy who was a part time wrestler.
However, I remember Shane being absolutely nuts back in the day. Like the guy will do anything. He is looking good, but he has obviously aged quite a bit. Would anyone really be surprised if he tries a dive from the top of the cage? Would anyone be surprised if after he tries that he severely injures himself as well?
I hear that depending on how fast Cena can get back they're still holding out hope of Cena vs Taker and Shane was the back up choice for in the ring. Even with a thin roster, I have no doubt that WM32 will be excellent.

Honestly, Shane vs Taker in a HIAC match is one of...if not the most random main event WM match in that company's history lol. But with that being said, if Shane vs Taker takes place...I think it'll be insane. Shane is gonna probably take some insane bump. Now with that being said, I honestly don't see this match happening. Taker is gonna probably side with Shane and Vince will probably get somebody else to do his bidding. In a perfect world, it would be a heel Cena or a returning Seth Rollins. But whatev, WM is taking shape. And other than the Reigns/HHH match...I'm looking forward to the event. It'll be my first time seeing a HIAC match, live. So stoked.
Fun fact: the last time Shane was in a match at a WM, was at WM17....which ironically took place in Texas, was against Vince, and took place almost 15yrs ago to the day of WM32. WM17 was on April 1, 2001. And WM32 is on April 3, 2016. And I went to WM17. Got tickets for my 13th birthday.

Nice! I've never been to a WM, isn't WM17 the 1st that Motorhead played "The Game" live?
Now that you are talking about different angles...........Cena coming back and siding with Vince and turning heel would be AWESOME! That angle could work! The biggest reason I see that not being in play though is if Cena turns heel they'll have him win whatever match he's in with some sort of shady victory. There are already tickets on sale as I pointed out earlier of WWE vs RAW so if they are split it means that Shane somehow got the victory. Now that is after Extreme Rules so maybe Shane loses this one and then the rematch at Extreme Rules he wins, I dunno. I also don't see Taker losing what is probably his last WM match in his home state, even though he is totally cool with the professional side of the business.
Rollins won't be back for awhile and it sounds like he's targeted to return for SummerSlam............he really messed up his knee and his rehab is going good but he's kind of far from a return. He could return earlier and do some stuff as a character and not a wrestler though. Even that though, I don't see them throwing him in the mix until he is at least a few months closer to an in ring recovery. Its hard to even be a bit character that isn't wrestling if you can't do anything in ring.
