The Undertaker is officially not retired as he is set to appear in the 900th episode of SmackDown Live on November 15. Now that the rumors of his retirement are put to rest, for now, several reports suggest that The Undertaker could be facing John Cena at WrestleMania 33 in what could be his final match.
The WWE has confirmed via their official website that The Undertaker is making his first television appearance since WrestleMania 32 on the November 15 edition of SmackDown Live. The return has fueled a lot of rumors including getting involved in the Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg feud or The Wyatt Family-Randy Orton alliance.
However, many fans believe that it is just The Undertake showing appreciation for the blue brand since he has been associated with SmackDown Live for the better part of his career. Celebrating the show's 900th episode would not be complete without The Deadman.
WrestleMania 33 is still five months away but several experts are trying to predict who The Undertaker will face at the Grandest Stage of Them All in Orlando next year. The most obvious and best moneymaking opponent would be Cena, who is currently on hiatus.
According to WWE analyst Justin LaBar of Upgruv, WrestleMania 33 could be The Undertaker's final PPV as an active performer as he is set to officially retire at the event. LaBar added that the stipulation for The Undertaker vs. Cena match would be "Loser Leaves WWE."
However, it should be noted that it would be an obvious result with The Undertaker losing that match for sure. The best way for the WWE to book the match, according to LaBar, is to announce that it will be The Phenom's farewell match.
That announcement alone could sell out WrestleMania 33 since it will be The Undertaker's last match. The result will be up in the air since many people believe that The Deadman could lose his final match while Cena losing to The Undertaker will have no effect at all.
"I took to Twitter with the possibility of an Undertaker-Cena match at WrestleMania 33. Some responses contended an Undertaker loss would be too predictable because WWE still needs Cena. Others suggested McMahon would not want Undertaker losing a last match, and losing to 'Taker wouldn't damage Cena's stature. That's what is known as a split crowd, folks. And that's what makes this potential match perfect," LaBar added.
The WWE has a lot of things to think about heading to WrestleMania 33. Cena could always challenge A.J. Styles for the WWE World Championship while The Undertaker can have other dream matches against Goldberg or even Sting.
However, the best match to make is The Undertaker vs. Cena since it has a special feel to it. Also, a 51-year-old legend battling a near 50-year-old legend with cardio problems or an even older legend with neck issues is not a sight to behold.
