That's exactly what they are doing....force feeding Reigns down everyone's throat by trying to give him instant credibility by wrestling a 50 plus year old Undertaker who hasn't worked a full tim schedule with WWE in 6 years....

I don't get the force-feeding Reigns thing. Before his hernia injury in late 2014, he was the hottest thing going. All this mess started because the Philly fans wanted Daniel Bryan to win the 2015 Rumble. When Reigns won it instead, he suddenly became the scapegoat.

Nobody was going to by Bryan taking the belt from Lesnar at 'Mania. So, what would have been the point of having Daniel Bryan winning the Rumble?

Plus, how much credibility would Reigns have beating 'Taker at the big dance without the Streak being part of the equation? Beating the Deadman at a non-WrestleMania event doesn't equate to credibility. Remember that Vladimir Koslov beat 'Taker clean on Smackdown in late 2008/early 2009. It didn't do him any good.
