Why The Undertaker shouldn't come back for WrestleMania 34

Undertaker vs. John Cena WrestleMania 34 — This isn't the Undertaker we'd be seeing.

John Cena's woes in finding a spot on the WrestleMania card has been a prominent story on television since the Royal Rumble. Most people think a match with The Undertaker is the ultimate destination. Hints have been dropped on television and it looks like WWE is trying too hard to convince its audience that the match won't happen, which means that it will.

It would still be a terrible idea. The Undertaker vs. John Cena was a match that should have happened years ago, but not in 2018. For all these reasons, it would add little to the WrestleMania card.

#1 The match would be bad

Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns — The Undertaker looked very much like a broken shell last year, even in his physique.

The last good match Undertaker had was against CM Punk nearly five years ago, and even then, Punk carried most of it. Since then, Undertaker has been in precipitous, accelerating decline. His match last year against Roman Reigns was sad to watch.

Yes, he's had hip surgery since then, and it's possible that John Cena could carry him to a better match, but there's little chance that it would be better than whatever match on the card that could replace it starring the full-time talent.

The great Undertaker WrestleMania matches are a thing of the past. A match with John Cena would have been great in 2011, but not 2018. He's 53 years old. He won't suddenly be the wrestler he was just because he's in the ring with John Cena.
