#5 Undertaker to make his return at Royal Rumble

A return at the Rumble?

John Cena made a triumphant return to the WWE programming recently and the fans are now eagerly waiting for a similar move from the Undertaker. Taker had returned before Survivor Series and gave everyone hopes that he will be performing regularly but it didn’t happen much to the disappointment of the WWE Universe.

Now, reports from inquisitr.com state that Undertaker could make his return at Royal Rumble and set up a match with John Cena at WrestleMania. John Cena laid out a challenge to AJ Styles this past week and he could chase the title at Rumble. 

However, an Undertaker – Cena match could be a bigger mainstream draw and it wouldn’t be a surprise if WWE decides to go with this instead of the Cena – Styles match.
