10 Biggest Mysteries Still Surrounding WrestleMania 33

1. Is This The Undertaker's Last Ride?

This question comes up every single year, with The Undertaker’s retirement looking increasingly likely every single time. The Deadman is a WrestleMania institution, and his appearance is practically a given, but he’ll be 52 by the time WWE hit Orlando. Moreover, he looked sluggish and out of shape competing in the Royal Rumble. It looks like time is finally catching up with him.

Taker underwent hip surgery last year, which might explain his Rumble performance, but he can’t keep doing this forever. Fans are going to be saying “goodbye” to The Phenom sooner rather than later - and WrestleMania 33 might be his last dance.

If it is, we should expect to hear about it very, very soon. Promoting The Undertaker’s retirement match will generate a huge level of interest for the event, regardless of who he faces. Fans should tune-in in droves for the chance to see The Deadman compete on the big stage for the final time, and for a card sorely lacking in anticipation, this could be exactly what 'Mania needs.

Predicting The Undertaker’s retirement is a dangerous game as he continues finding new ways to defy Father Time every single year. But, as the years progress, the speculation grows louder, and fans shouldn’t be surprised to see a big retirement ceremony on the first Raw after WrestleMania 33.
