With The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt being all but official for WrestleMania 31, it appears as though the Deadman is training hard for the contest while the WWE has a special plan in place to keep him off television until the "Show of Shows."

For weeks, Wyatt has been cutting cryptic promos asking someone to "come find him" and while it was rumored he was talking to 'Taker, it wasn't confirmed until Fastlane this past Sunday night in Memphis.
Wyatt came out in a casket surrounded by druids and challenged The Undertaker to a showdown at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Wyatt then said on Monday Night RAW this week that he is the new Face of Fear and wants 'Taker to come find him in the middle of the ring at WrestleMania 31.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, the WWE has plans in place to keep 'Taker off of television until WrestleMania 31 as a way to build the storyline. The WWE will keep 'Taker off of RAW and SmackDown to add a mysterious element to the match.
The plan is in place because the WWE wants the fans to wonder what The Undertaker looks like, where he has been and what his condition is and for the audience to be surprised when he shows up at WrestleMania.
This will mark 'Taker's first in-ring match and appearance on WWE television since he was injured and lost The Streak to current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar last year at WrestleMania XXX.
Regarding 'Taker, his wife and former WWE Diva Michelle McCool posted the following photos of 'Taker working out and training for the match on Instagram:
