I don't see them doing the bait-and-switch. Why advertise the match in the first place? Why would you try and get people excited about the idea of a Shane match and then pull him from it? Why would you have Vince demand he compete only for him then not have to and still get his way? Why have the face back out of the match?
Shane is wrestling. In the mind of many, the McMahons are stars. And when you hear Shane talk, it's easy to remind yourself that he's an amazing performer. He's also insane and has something to prove. Not only will Shane wrestle The Undertaker, but McMahon ego is too big for it to be anything less than a memorable classic.
What isn't certain is how they go about building the match. Does The Undertaker heel it up? He's been kicking people in the nuts since Battleground. It could be a case of "I like you, Shane, but it's WrestleMania..." or "I've always hated you, you little prick -- now I get to make oprhans of your children."
CSL brings up a good point about the cell and the WWE probably not wanting guys to go off it anymore. But I do think that if anyone does it it will be Shane.
