In January, The Undertaker competed in his first match in 10 months - he was part of the Royal Rumble bout, eliminating Goldberg, Baron Corbin, and The Miz before falling prey to Roman Reigns, who was the surprise #30 entrant. Judging from his post-match demeanor, Undertaker was not happy about the loss and his issues with Reigns aren't over. A WrestleMania match seems assured.

In order for it to happen, though, Undertaker has to strike back at Reigns. The three-time WWE Champion is scheduled to compete against Braun Strowman tonight, and many are expecting The Undertaker to somehow get involved - whether it's via a chokeslam or a cartoon lightning bolt remains to be seen, but there's a healthy chance of "The Phenom's" influence costing Reigns the bout.

It's not definite - PWInsider is currently reporting that Undertaker is slated to make his comeback on Monday's Raw, meaning that he might not do anything at Fastlane at all. Still, Reigns typically doesn't lose without an "out," and interference from Undertaker is the perfect excuse in that it simultaneously keeps things moving forward.
