10 WrestleMania 34 Nightmares That Could Come True

3. The Undertaker Struggles His Way Through Another Match

Nightmare: Last year was tough to watch for longtime fans who remember The Undertaker in his prime.

The same icon who has given so much to the annual supershow over the years looked like a broken down, frail old man as he struggled his way through 'Mania 33's headliner with Roman Reigns in Orlando. If WWE are going to rely on him yet again in New Orleans, don't be shocked if 'Taker looks even less like the mighty "Deadman" of old.

It's almost cruel to expect The Undertaker to enter world class performances at this point. He has aged significantly over the past five years and can no longer work like he used to. Nobody who respects him should wish to see more spots like that botched Tombstone in 2017.

Chances Of It Coming True: That all depends on the type of match WWE ask of 'Taker.

If they demand a back-and-forth epic like they tried with Reigns, his involvement will flop, but if the legend's failing body is protected and John Cena is the one who does the heavy lifting then the match has a fighting chance. There's no way around it: 'Taker can't work 30-minute classics like he used to.
