10 Grand Moments We Need To See At WrestleMania 33

3. The Old Dog Runs The Yard

Undertaker Royal Rumble 2007

One of the most intriguing matches on the card at the show of shows will pit perennial management favorite Roman Reigns against "The Phantom of WrestleMania," The Undertaker. The bout will mark Undertaker's 25th WrestleMania contest, and as fans everywhere know, he's only lost one of those matches.

This time, things are different. Not only is Reigns the hot young star who's been getting pushed to the moon for years, but Undertaker's career may legitimately be coming to a close - he looked sluggish at the Royal Rumble because he needs hip replacement surgery, and that would likely keep him out of the ring for good. Reigns, meanwhile, will once again be performing in front of a very hostile 'Mania crowd.

It almost seems like a given that Reigns will win and people will be mad, but it doesn't have to happen. If Undertaker has taught fans one thing over the years, it's that there's truly no expiration date on his career - and betting against him is a bad idea. Undertaker should defeat Reigns in the match and give the fans something to cheer, because if history is any indication, he'll be at WrestleMania 34.
