5 WWE Superstars who should retire in 2017

1:The Undertaker

The Undertaker has undoubtedly cemented himself as one of the greatest and most respected talents to have stepped foot in the WWE. Having one of the most legendary careers of any pro wrestler – no matter what the promotion is – he’s created so many memorable moments throughout his 26-years career for the company. However, his aging stature has created a lack of being able to perform like the years past.

Fans saw this when the streak was finally broken at WrestleMania 30 against Brock Lesnar. Not only was the streak ending one of the most shocking moments in WWE history, but his apparent physical incapabilities made for a slow and lethargic match overall.

While he has managed to grow his hair back and is in a better ring shape, the Undertaker has mostly availed himself to be a WrestleMania attraction. With the streak already broken, even his presence at this event is not as important. There have been many reports that his match at WrestleMania 32 with Shane McMahon may have been his last.

Of course, since WrestleMania season is mainly his longest time with the company, there is always the chance of him popping up, so a retirement has not been announced. Indeed a match at WrestleMania 33 with John Cena would be interesting to see if built correctly. With this exception, Undertaker is at the stage of accepting that his amazing WWE career should be reaching its final moments, and it is time for The Deadman’s career to rest in peace.
