4 Reasons why The Undertaker was not at WrestleMania 35

The Undertaker has been a part of WrestleMania for as long as memory goes.

Other than WrestleMania X and WrestleMania XV!, he has been present at each WrestleMania since WrestleMania VII.

During this time, he has had the greatest run of matches in the history of the pay-per-view, with him getting 21 straight wins at WrestleMania before he suffered his first defeat at the hands of The Beast Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30.

The Undertaker would return at each of the following WrestleMania to defeat Bray Wyatt, John Cena, and Shane McMahon. He would only lose against Roman Reigns.

However, this year was the first time since WrestleMania XVI, that the Undertaker was not present at WrestleMania. Given the length of the pay-per-view, he was not missed.

Here are 4 reasons why the Undertaker was not at WrestleMania 35.

#4 The pay-per-view was too long

The pay-per-view was extremely long

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. WrestleMania 35 was amazing, but FAR too long.

As a result, the matches that came towards the end of the show suffered from crowd exhaustion. They were not able to deliver all that they were capable of because of the tepid reaction that they were getting from the exhausted WWE Universe. The show was 7 hours and 30 minutes long.

At some point, WWE has to bite the bullet, and either reduce the length of the pay-per-view or split it up in two. This way, the matches would be distributed over a longer period of time, allowing them more freedom to work.

On top of everything that happened, if the Undertaker was to make a meaningless appearance on the show, it would be a waste of WWE resources as well as time which could be given to one of the matches (Looking at you Rey Mysterio vs Samoa Joe).

#3 The Undertaker is finally retiring

The Undertaker is no longer young and may be retiring

The Undertaker has been on his last legs for most of the last few years. It has been pitiful to see the once amazing wrestler reduced to a mere shadow of his former self.

He is old, and can no longer move at the same rate that he once used to. He has looked slower and slower in recent years, and it would be the best thing for everyone involved if he were to retire. At the moment, it appears that it might finally be happening.

The Undertaker not being involved in the WWE WrestleMania event means that he is finally taking a well-deserved step back from WWE.

The Undertaker has needed to retire for a long time, and he might finally be getting that. That may be why there was no Undertaker at WrestleMania 35.

#2 The Undertaker and WWE are not on good terms with each other

Undertaker might be done with WWE

The Undertaker is taking non-WWE bookings for the first time in his career. After a long career with WWE, The Undertaker is looking outside WWE for bookings.

He is involved in the Starcast II and will be appearing there. As a result, his status with WWE authorities is not at the best level.

Thus, Undertaker did not appear at WrestleMania 35.

#1 The Undertaker will be appearing at upcoming Saudi Arabia pay-per-view

The Undertaker will be at Saudi Arabia

The Undertaker is not in the best of health. He is old, and there are only so many appearances that he can make.

WWE might have a pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia on the 7th of June and according to reports, the Undertaker is booked for it.

As a result, he might only be appearing at Saudi Arabia which ensures a better payday. This is why he skipped WrestleMania 35 and was not available for the event.
