10 Reasons The Undertaker Will Retire At WrestleMania 32
2. Brock Lesnar
It's Brock Lesnar's time to shine. The Undertaker staying around just delays what has been an inevitability since Brock debuted in WWE in 2002. WWE has FINALLY accepted that "sports entertainment" should be presented as more "sports" than entertainment. While yes, The Undertaker adapted to this by adding hints of MMA to his presentation, it's really not the same as having Brock Lesnar as the big, bad and nearly impossible-to-defeat big man on the roster. After Wrestlemania 32, it's time for the notion of the "supernatural" superstar to be taken to Suplex City and tossed out of WWE for awhile.
