#2 The Undertaker can be an integral part for WWE behind the scenes

Three decades in wrestling business makes The Undertaker one of the most experienced people in the WWE. His humongous experience can easily land him in on an important backstage role where his insights can be put to great use for the company.

Although it would be odd for the fans to see The Phenom in a suit, but his ideas on booking matches, storylines or even being a part of the WWE Performance Center can lead him to being a constant relevance to the company and also having some camera time.


#1 It is the right time for him to pass his legacy

Accept it or not, we have to see WWE without The Undertaker in the near future, but we expect to see someone worthy enough to take on his mantle. History has witnessed young superstars filling in for old/retired superstars or being heavily inspired by their character, which is not unusual.

We have seen Dolph Ziggler desperately trying to copy WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, Sin Cara filling in for Rey Mysterio with the latter's absence, Braun Strowman being the monster after the likes of Kane and Big Show and few others. However, the question here is, who will be able to fill in for a grand persona that The Undertaker has? There are a lot of talents in the roster presently, which makes it a perfect time for the legacy to be passed on.

Few names such as Bray Wyatt, Baron Corbin and Finn Bálor come into mind when thinking of who to fill in for the role, but they will have to prove themselves to the WWE Universe first!

Wrestlemania 35 on April 7th might be the last WM we see Taker at, there are still hopes of The Phenom to give a short appearance or a squash match to be booked on spot as a nostalgic surprise for all the fans, which will undoubtedly make us all jump out of our seats!
