Much deliberation is given to exactly which match will close out WrestleMania each year, and it's fair to suggest that WWE don't always get it right.

Take 'Mania XXV for example, an event which clearly could have benefitted from closing with a storming Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels match - rather than a limp title tussle between Triple H and Randy Orton.

Ironically, the more thoughtful side of Orton realises that The Undertaker should be closing out this year's 'Mania, and he'd even he willing to sacrifice headlining alongside Bray Wyatt for the WWE Title in order to see the legend vindicated.

Revealing this to Yahoo Sports, the WWE Title challenger said 'Taker vs. Roman Reigns "needs" to main event 'Mania 33.

Part of Randy's reasoning for wishing to see the veteran close the pay-per-view is due to worries that Undertaker doesn't have too many WrestleMania moments left in him; despite there also being two 'World Title' matches on the 'Mania card, Orton thinks it's important to understand the aura any 'Taker match commands.
