If in kayfabe Shane did win (albeit help from someone) and take control of WWE, it would be quite symbolic if to do he had to retire one of his dad's era's greatest creations.
Like you I'm not keen on his career threatening match being against a middle aged non wrestler. But then I can't think of a better scenario running in the background. Only a career match against a heel Cena would top it, IMO.”

Why does everyone presume Taker vs Shane is happening? Shane could easily back of of the match and choose a replacement.
