What’s the story?
Roman Reigns, who will be squaring off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33, told TMZ Sports that age is just a number for the Deadman. Although many wrestling fans assume that the 52-year old Phenom won’t be able to perform at his A-game due to the age, Reigns doesn’t share the same point of view.
Roman believes that “he could go till he's 80”, just because he’s The Undertaker.

The feud between the Big Dog and the ‘original’ Big Dog, The Undertaker started during this year’s Royal Rumble match when the Phenom was eliminated by Reigns.
The heart of the matter
Although the match won’t be contested for any Championship, the battle between The Undertaker and Roman Reigns will be one of the most important matches of WrestleMania 33. This match could mark the end of a legendary wrestling career of the Phenom, which spanned over three decades.

Author’s take
It will be thrilling as always to witness The Undertaker perform at WrestleMania.
However, the recent appearances of the Deadman have highlighted the fact that The Undertaker is working despite being hurt. It seems that the time has come for him to step away from in-ring competition.
