Kozlov or Michaels vs. Undertaker?
The impending collision between Shawn Michaels and Vladimir Kozlov is scheduled to take place on this coming Monday Night Raw. The match of course determines which superstar will get the chance to face Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25, and potentially end his legendary undefeated streak. Michaels recently defeated JBL on Raw, but thanks to interim GM Vickie Guerrero, it was decided that he would also need to defeat Vladimir Kozlov to secure his Wrestlemania spot. Vlad showed up to level Michaels in the ring, declaring that he would be the victor. Kozlov came up with a huge win on Friday night's Smackdown as he defeated the potential opponent for WM25, The Undertaker, leading fans to believe he may be the stronger candidate. Then again, these lead-ins are the sort of thing WWE lives on, as it will put over HBK in a major way to propel him to a big WM25 match.
The question's been posed elsewhere as to what will become of Kozlov, Michaels or JBL at Wrestlemania 25. If Kozlov wins on Raw, that leaves Michaels out of a huge match, and you'd have to believe WWE wants him in a big match at its biggest event. If HBK wins as expected, what do Kozlov and JBL do on the Wrestlemania 25 card? I wouldn't be surprised to see either man or both entered into some sort of battle royal or even the MITB Ladder Match. Kozlov actually makes a compelling choice to be entered in MITB and win it, while JBL may be better off staying out of that type of match. I can also easily see Kozlov sent over to ECW in the 2009 WWE Draft. Jack Swagger, if and when he drops the ECW title, can move on to bigger things, such as Smackdown and the US Title, while Kozlov would make a very good heel contender for the ECW belt.
Back to Monday's clash: The WWE Universe would definitely be more into a Michaels versus Taker clash at the Silver Anniversary of Wrestlemania, but Kozlov offers a classic heel who seems almost indestructible. The WWE could always take the easy way out, yet still create a compelling match by having a double pinfall or tie ending, leading to a Triple Threat. This gives both Michaels and Kozlov a big match at Wrestlemania 25, and the Undertaker even tougher odds to overcome and keep his streak alive. My pick for right now is Shawn Michaels based on the fact that Wrestlemania 25 takes place in his home state of Texas, and he is the Showstopper. Whether or not he'll be a "Streakstopper" is a question to be answered another time and place.

Sweet post!
You know I think the match at WM25 will be TAKER VS VLADIMIR KOZLOV because the way Kozlov is wrestling being "undefeated" in singles competition and having Taker undefeated at Wrestlemaina would make a good storyline for this big event. Because recently Take has been going against oppoents that have been the heel the past few years (Edge,Batasita Mark Henry,Randy Orton..ETC) so i am thinking that Taker will win it and then maybe retire or go one more year you never know.
I think it will be the undefeated vs the undefeated streak.
