After losing to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 33, The Deadman made his awaited return at Wrestlemania 34.

The Deadman is one of the most loved superstars and his work over the last 2 decades made him a legend. He is the only man that has fought almost every superstar that has ever stepped foot inside a WWE ring over the last 20 years.

It was his Wrestlemania streak that would keep people glued to their TV screens and make this spectacle a success. His constantly innovative moves like 'Old School,' Hell's Gate and many others always wooed the crowd.

While a lot of us loved him in 'The Deadman' persona, he was loved as an American badass too. The wrestler would come on a bike and that theme song of 'Deadman Walking' would cheer everyone, everywhere.

A lot of years have passed by, but The Undertaker doesn't seem to have missed a beat, however, his losses to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30, and Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 33 have caused an unrepairable hit to his legacy.

With that in mind, here are 5 reasons why he shouldn't return to Wrestlemania ever:


#4 He is a legend already

There are moments when wrestlers need to prove that they are worthy of something bigger and better, however, Taker has already showcased that he is a legend due to his time in the business and he has nothing more to prove to anybody.

It is about time that he joins his friends in the Hall Of Fame and train next generation of superstars with the skills he has garnered over the years. You can only imagine what he would do with the next generation if he joins WWE Performance Center as a Trainer.

#3 Health Hazards

It's no secret that everyone goes through times as they grow old where they need to see a doctor in an attempt to stay fit and healthy.

The wrestling business requires you to jump on and off between places and things, and there is a possibility that you may get hurt in the process. At Taker's age, he needs to see a doctor every time he wrestles at Wrestlemania and then take time to regroup from what he encountered at The Shows of Shows.

It is about time that he focuses more on the health so that we can see him around for a longer time.

#2 Age

Age isn't just a number, anymore.

At 53 years of age, The Undertaker is the oldest active WWE wrestler on the roster today. His matches at Wrestlemania are still good, but you have to understand that as the age increases your efficiency in the ring takes a hit.

His fellow wrestlers are retired and work backstage in some role, like Shawn Michaels. The Undertaker must follow that path and train people either in his own training school or somewhere else, or a role the corporate office wouldn't be a bad idea.

#1 Streak is Over

If the reactions by WWE Universe are anything to go by, you know that The Undertaker's loss at Wrestlemania 30 hampered his streak and gimmick, but his loss to Roman Reigns hampered it in a way that the same can't be repaired.

WWE booked a squash match between him and John Cena and the result clearly showcased that the company wanted his streak to live on so that his legacy isn't hampered.

No matter what happens, you cannot take away the fact that Taker's undefeated streak is over and if the WWE wants to showcase him as a legend, then they must stop him from entering the ring again.
