For this, I say Undertaker will go 18-0 at Wrestlemania, give HBK his summer off and then be brought back in some sort of way for SummerSlam.
WWE couldn't give a shit about giving someone the right rub anymore. Especially at Mania. Taker's streak is a massive draw. The streak alone will guarentee buyrates for their biggest show of the year. Does anyone really trust Vince and co. to give someone the honor of beating Taker at Mania and then developing them into the next big star? I don't.

Ending the streak is too high risk, imo. But if HBK were to win, which I'm leaning towards, I would not mind at all. It just does't make good business sense.
