According to a F4WOnline.com, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has told insiders that the current plan is for The Undertaker to wrestle Wade Barrett at WrestleMania 27.
With The Undertaker’s ‘Mania appearance essentially confirmed by virtue of his booking for the AXXESS autograph signing that weekend, speculation has turned from “will he or won’t he” into “who will he wrestle?” Given that Undertaker’s winning streak is such an important fixture of the ‘Mania festivities, there was definitely some interest in making his match the focal point of the show, but things are currently looking much more “normal” for the WWE veteran.
The potential match with Brock Lesnar appears out of the question, and there was nothing substantive to the rumors of Kimbo Slice’s involvement. That leaves Wade Barrett and Kane as the top candidates for the match, and WWE insiders are now saying that Barrett is the frontrunner.
Of course, given WWE’s tendency to change plans on the fly (the move to a 40-man Royal Rumble was decided just weeks ago), the Undertaker-Barrett match should not be viewed as confirmed.
