Recently, WrestleVotes revealed that The Undertaker is going to return for WrestleMania but it was not confirmed whether or not he will have a match. For the past few weeks, rumors are growing that The Undertaker is done with the WWE and he is focusing on casual appearances. He has also given many ‘out of character’ interviews, probably indicating that The Deadman could be retired. However, if we assume that The Deadman is going to return at WrestleMania then what would happen?

The likeliest thing to happen is that he will have a match. However, it’s something the entire WWE Universe knows but what else the WWE could be planning for The Undertaker?

In this column, we will look at four things that can happen if The Phenom returns for WrestleMania 35.


#4 Retire against a younger talent

The Undertaker has been wrestling for over 20 years now and it’s clear that he can't wrestle like before. He has already achieved a lot in WWE and now, there's nothing left for The Deadman to conquer, many fans, think that he should retire now.

Even though it will be heartbreaking for some fans, we can't deny that his time is over. In a recent interview, The Undertaker talked about the numerous injuries he suffered in the past few years, due to wrestling.

Some of the injuries were pretty dangerous and now, at the age of 57, I don't think The Undertaker can sustain one more serious injury. So it will be better for him to retire because if he continues to wrestle, things may get worse for him.

At this point, there are many wrestlers who could retire The Undertaker but I think Drew McIntyre or Finn Balor are the best options available.

Some fans may think that Aleister Black should retire The Undertaker because his gimmick is similar to The Phenom and could replace him in WWE. However, Black has no experience in the main roster at all and it wouldn't be great if he retires ‘Taker.

#3 Face John Cena

The WWE, reportedly, is searching for an opponent for John Cena as his original rival Lars Sullivan is currently suffering from mental illness. Last year at WrestleMania, Cena faced The Undertaker but the WWE teased another match between the two after the former lost quickly.

This loss indicated that the WWE could be shaping another match between the two. Plus, a rumour also claimed that WWE has plans for Undertaker to fight at ‘Mania but currently they haven’t found his opponent.

Instead of finding two separate rivals for both superstars, WWE could book both of them together. I don't know if John Cena will retire ‘Taker in this match but what I believe is that this match has a good chance to take place.

Their last match didn’t satisfy the fans and this is why Cena vs Undertaker could happen.

#2 He gets inducted to the Hall Of Fame

A few months ago, there were rumors that the WWE could induct The Undertaker into the Hall Of Fame class. However, no official announcement has been made by them yet.

Currently, WWE has confirmed three inductions for this year’s HOF and ‘Taker could be the next wrestler to get inducted. He could still fight at WrestleMania as his final match and I don’t think there would be any problems in doing that.

The same happened with Ric Flair when he wrestled his retirement match in WWE just days after being inducted to the Hall Of Fame Class of 2008.

But who will induct The Phenom into the HOF? The only name I could think right now is Vince McMahon, as he respects ‘Taker the most. After all, he has proved his loyalty by not wrestling for any other promotion.

#1 The Undertaker fights at the Saudi Arabia show

Last year, the WWE signed a 10-year long partnership with Saudi Arabia’s General Sports Authority under which they will host shows in this country. Last year, we saw The Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel pay-per-view and now, WWE is rumored to do two more shows in the Kingdom Of Arabia. Even though the dates haven’t been fixed yet, some reports suggest that the first show will happen on May 3rd.

We don’t know if this report is correct or not but if it is, then we could see The Undertaker working there. Last year, many big superstars returned to work at the show and we could expect the same to happen this year as well.

WWE held two Saudi Arabia shows last year and in both of them, The Undertaker worked. So if The Deadman is going to return for WrestleMania then it wouldn’t be shocking if he wrestles one more match at Saudi Arabia.
