It is heavily expected that The Undertaker won't retire and will face Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31, but the Deadman seems to be in some bad shape these days.
Negative Backstage Reaction To WWE Portraying John Cena As An 'Old Man Veteran'
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, someone sent word in that they recently saw The Undertaker and said it was "almost shocking" how he looked.
The person added that the wrestling legend moved around like his knees were gone and looked like he was 60-years-old. 'Taker, 49, is expected to face Wyatt at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in California.
The Undertaker was last seen in April 2014 when he lost to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX in one of the most shocking booking decisions the WWE ever made.
'Taker lost at WrestleMania for the first time ever after Lesnar dominated him, hitting him with three F-5s and pinning his shoulders to the mat, ending The Streak. The Undertaker came into the match with a legendary 21-0 unbeaten streak at the "Show of Shows," but it is now history.
Following the match, it was revealed that 'Taker was legitimately injured in the bout with Lesnar and the status for his career was up in the air.
As recently as the Royal Rumble last month, there were a lot of questions surrounding whether or not 'Taker would call it a career due to his injury and loss of The Streak.
Recently, however, Wyatt has cut eerie cryptic promos about "nostalgic" figures and not fearing anything "living or dead," going so far this past Monday on RAW as to ask this anonymous target of his messages to "come find him."
It appears as though Wyatt is directing his promos at The Undertaker as the two have been rumored to square off and the Deadman fits the bill for who the "Eater of Worlds" is describing in his eerie promos. It remains to be seen how the WWE will implement 'Taker back into storylines.
It seemed as though if Undertaker came back he might face "The Vigilante" Sting, but after a near-miss with the two last year, the WWE has opted to put Sting in a match against Triple H, though it hasn't been made official just yet.
Other big matches expected for the show include Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (though Daniel Bryan could be thrown in), Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler, Bad News Barrett vs. Dean Ambrose, John Cena vs. Rusev and a battle royal.
While it seems the WWE is looking to bring The Undertaker back, he is said to be in pretty bad shape just over a month before his big match with Wyatt.
