The Undertaker's health is always a hot topic among wrestling fans on the road to WrestleMania, and speculation is mounting surrounding his injury states ahead of WrestleMania 33 in Orlando.

As seen below, The Deadman was photographed using crutches last week, and PWInsider are now reporting that this is because he is currently rehabilitating from hip surgery. There is no indication as to how long he'll be out of action, and no official word from WWE regarding Taker's WrestleMania status.

It seems unthinkable that there'd be a WrestleMania without The Undertaker, but his health has been a constant concern since he was hospitalised after WrestleMania 30. The 51 year old is a WWE institution, but he never wrestles more than a handful of times a year at this stage in his career. WM 32's Hell In A Cell match with Shane McMahon was Undertaker's only match of 2016 thus far, and he wrestled just five times in the previous two years combined.

There is no word on when Taker had the surgery either, but he was photographed at a wedding in early September without the crutches:-
