» The creative team discussed the subject of Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak last week during a booking meeting. They believe it should only be ended by a superstar on the rise, not an established star. The general feeling is that it will never end but Vince McMahon isn't completely opposed to it. If it's ever going to end, he doesn't want to waste it on a "maybe" star, only someone that everyone can agree on being a top star in the company for a number of years.

Some officials are leery on who to use in the role due to the likes of Brock Lesnar & Bobby Lashley bolting from WWE. In regards to who can possibly end the streak, a few names have been discussed, but nobody everyone can agree on. However, the name most talked about was none other than Ted DiBiase as they believe he can be the next Randy Orton. McMahon is said to be very high on him, but doesn't feel it could be done by next year with him. One long-term idea brought up is that a few years from now, DiBiase's father can be brought in because his storyline introduced Undertaker to WWE.

As of this writing, WWE creative has plans for the winner of the SmackDown Scramble match at Unforgiven to defend the title later in the night against Undertaker. The angle would be that Vickie Guerrero is giving him the title shot as a peace offering.
