If there is one name in the wrestling industry that is synonymous with WrestleMania, it is the Undertaker. If rumours are to be believed, Undertaker will wrestle his last match at WrestleMania 33.
The phenom has had an incredible run when it comes to WrestleMania. His undefeated streak is a stuff of legend, and he is undoubtedly bound for the Hall of Fame. But even a mighty wrestler like The Undertaker must bow down to the passing of time.
Considering that he is fifty-one years old, it will come as no surprise to many WWE fans that he will retire this year.
According to Cagesideseats, this year’s WrestleMania will showcase the last appearance of The Undertaker in a professional wrestling match. Whoever his opponent is at this year’s WrestleMania, will be the last to face The Phenom in a squared circle, especially at the grandest stage of them all.
Cagesideseats also reports that the hip surgery Undertaker underwent was done to give the Deadman one last run in WWE, especially WrestleMania. As of now, the two major names whispered to take on The Phenom in his last match are AJ Styles and John Cena. It is yet unclear who will face him at WrestleMania.
If one recalls last year’s WrestleMania, Taker left his boots in the ring in a vague gesture to indicate that he is done with the industry. But, Vince had been pestering Taker to lace up his boots to wrestle one more match at WrestleMania, probably against his Golden Boy Cena.
We have also reported earlier that this pestering had created some friction between ‘Taker and Vince. ‘Taker returned to the ring a week prior to Survivor Series to indicate that he is back. Now all we have left to see of Taker is one last match. Who will be his last opponent? Any guesses?
Here is a video WWE released recently teasing Styles vs. Undertaker clash at WrestleMania.
