2) he would have to win the WWE Title ASAP after defeating Taker, and we all know that will not happen.

WWE needs to take this opportunity of Taker vs. Bray to create a unique Mania Moment for Wyatt. If a loss is done properly, it can propel him moreso than a victory would. I thought out a finish for the match:

-Taker goes for the chokeslam, Bray slides out, hits Sister Abigail. Taker kicks out. A few seconds later, Taker does the classic "sit up" and goes on a hot minute.

-After the hot minute, mix in some nice exchanges, Taker hits the Tombstone. This time Wyatt kicks out. Taker is on his knees with a "God dammit how did he kick out" sell. A few seconds later, Wyatt pops up with the Spider Walk which freaks Taker out.

-Taker is now on his ass backing away from Wyatt appearing legitimately scared and Wyatt is stalking him with the Spider Walk. Wyatt rolls out of the walk and starts crawling towards Taker, laughing like a maniac. Taker continues to look horrified/intimidated, but instinct takes over, Taker rips Wyatt's arm towards him, and he locks in Hell's Gate. Bray passes out as the Undertaker wins.

I think creating a moment like this accomplishes a ton:

-Passes the torch to Wyatt as the "New Face of Fear" as the fearless Undertaker displayed that he is truly afraid and also couldn't get Wyatt to tap out

-Gives Wyatt a unique and memorable WM moment making Taker back away from an opponent

-Keeps the importance of the Streak alive. Reigns being "The 1 who beat the 1 in 21-1" is the foundation for Roman's entire push. If Wyatt beats Taker before Lesnar/Reigns even happens, it hurts the credibility of Lesnar's journey as Champion since Wyatt has also beaten Taker.
I think those first two things you mentioned at the end that it would accomplish would be accomplished even better if Wyatt not only refuses to tap and scares the shit out of Taker but beats him, too.

I want Wyatt to win to regain the aura he had after last year's Royal Rumble. If Taker does win though, the passing out option is the way it should go down.

My idea for the end of the Cena-Wyatt match last year was for Cena to have Wyatt locked in the STF for a really long time and for Wyatt to eventually start to laugh hysterically and just say something creepy like "I'll see you in your dreams, John..." and then pass out IMMEDIATELY after. The ref checks on him and calls for the bell and Cena doesn't even celebrate when he stands up. He just looks down with a totally creeped out, uneasy look on his face. I feel like they could go with that here if they're intent on having Taker win.

Then have a buried alive match or a casket match main event Extreme Rules and have that be where Wyatt "buries the legend of the Undertaker forever". He can never be the one man who beat Taker at WrestleMania but he can be the one man who actually put the dead man down for good.
