WrestleMania 35 Rumor Roundup: This Year's Event To Be The Longest PPV Ever, The Undertaker's Status Revealed And More

It's that time of the year again, and no, I'm not talking about Christmas, at least not literally. WrestleMania, the biggest professional wrestling event of the year is just a few weeks away and many fans are still in speculation about the status of one of, if not, the greatest performer in WWE history, The Undertaker.

The Phenom was last seen in November last year when he teamed up with his brother Kane to take on Shawn Michaels and Triple H at WWE Crown Jewel.

The Deadman is way past his prime and doesn't make as many appearances as he used to. When people think about WrestleMania, The Undertaker immediately comes to mind. After all, he is the greatest performer in the PPV's history.

He has made more appearances and won more matches than anyone else at 'Mania so will we possibly get to see The Phenom make one more appearance at this year's event? Stick with us to find out.

Here are the rumor roundups for this year's WrestleMania that you should know.

#4 Another title match is rumored to be a triple threat

It looks like both of the Women's Championships on the main roster will be defended in a triple threat match. At Fastlane, current Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka defended her title against one-half of Fire & Desire, Mandy Rose. Asuka came out with the win, but it was Sonya Deville who unintentionally cost her partner the match and the title.

Deville took on Asuka on Smackdown Live but not even she could get the win over the Empress of Tomorrow. Asuka was rumored to face Lacey Evans for the Smackdown Women's Championship at WrestleMania but according to latest reports, she could defend her title in a triple threat instead against both members of Fire & Desire.

Whether Asuka defends her title against Lacey Evans or Mandy and Deville, she should walk out of Metlife Stadium still the champion. Losing two WrestleManias in a row will definitely worsen things for her as she is already being underused on the blue brand since people are more focused on Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

#3 Samoa Joe's WrestleMania opponent

Could this happen?

Samoa Joe won his first main roster championship when he won a fatal-4 way match on Smackdown Live to become the United States Champion. Joe successfully defended his title at Fastlane and will obviously have to defend it at WrestleMania. So who will his next opponent be?

One man who was rumored to challenge Joe for the United States title is none other than the 16-time world champion John Cena.

But according to the latest reports, it turns out that the rumor is, well, just a rumor, and John Cena's WrestleMania opponent will probably be Kurt Angle if the Cenation leader does make it to WrestleMania.

Kurt Angle announced on Raw that he will wrestle his last match at the Show of Shows and his last opponent will most likely be Cena himself. Angle was Cena's first opponent when the latter first arrived in WWE in 2002.

So who will Samoa Joe's opponent be? From what we have seen in the fallout episodes of Fastlane, it looks like the title will be defended in a multi-man match.

My theory is that it will be a ladder match involving Joe, R-Truth, Andrade, Rey Mysterio, and Mustafa Ali could possibly be added. It won't be the first time that a mid-card title will be defended in a ladder match at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

#2 WrestleMania 35 could possibly have 17 matches

This could be the longest WrestlWrestleMania ever

You have probably heard the saying, "WrestleMania only comes once a year." Since we will have to wait for all the way for next year, WWE is prepared to give us a WrestleMania that will be worth the wait, as an astonishing 17 matches are rumored to take place at the event.

Even though we are die-hard wrestling fans and plenty of us can sit through a 5-hour wrestling show, 17 matches is still a lot to digest in one night.

WrestleMania 4 had a total of 16 matches, and WWE could break that record by having 17 matches at this year's event. Imagine sitting through all these other matches just to get to the one you really want to see the most, which will probably be the main event. Sitting through three hours of Monday Night Raw is hard enough, and even though it's WrestleMania, there is such thing as too much of a good thing.

Right now there are seven matches already confirmed for the event, according to Forbes. The matches are:

1. Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar - WWE Universal Championship
2. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey - Raw Women's Championship
3. Triple H vs. Batista - No Holds Barred
4. Kurt Angle vs. TBA - Angle's Farewell Match
5. The Miz vs. Shane McMahon
6. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton
7. Cedric Alexander or Tony Nese vs. Buddy Murphy - Cruiserweight title

The rumored matches are:

1. Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan - WWE Championship
2. Asuka vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville - SmackDown Women's Championship
3. Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs. Nia Jax and Tamia vs. TBA - WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
4. The Revival vs. Ricochet and Aleister Black vs. TBA - Raw Tag Team Championship
5. The Hardy Boyz vs. The Bar vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev vs. The Usos vs. TBA - SmackDown Tag Team Championship
6. Samoa Joe vs. TBA - United States Championship
7. Bobby Lashley vs. Demon Finn Balor - Intercontinental Championship
8. Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
9. Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
10. WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

We're not even a week into the show yet and it's crazy how the card is shaping up to be. Bring your popcorns and sodas folks, 'cause this is going to be a really long night/morning depending on where you are.

#1 The Undertaker's status for WrestleMania

Will The Deadman appear at Mania?

For over two decades, The Phenom showed up just before The Showcase of the Immortals to scout his next victim. This time, however, things have changed, and for the first time in nearly two decades, 'Taker will miss his first WrestleMania since 2000.

Many fans want to know whether they will see The Deadman compete at this year's upcoming event, but unfortunately, we don't have good news.

WWE currently has no plans for The Undertaker. However, reports later suggest that Taker will, in fact, appear at the Show of Shows, but according to the Observer, WWE still doesn't have a match planned for him. WrestleMania is only a few weeks away so there might not be enough time to find him a new opponent and build up a match.

Taker isn't getting any younger, so if he doesn't have a match this year, then he certainly won't have one next year, so that means this could be the beginning of the end for The Deadman. Never say never though, because anything can happen in WWE. Believe that.
