Will The Undertaker strip all the way down to his 'Deadman' draws if he threatens retirement yet again this year? Many performers have been said to have 'left it all in the ring', but The Undertaker may need to do just that having twice teased never wrestling again in consecutive WrestleManias.

His WrestleMania 33 loss to Roman Reigns seemed to be an intentionally vague farewell, just in case Vince McMahon got desperate and waved 'monnnayyy' around as if it was 2008 all over again. 2018 beckoned and sure enough, rumours emerged that John Cena's allegedly 'huge' WrestleMania 34 could realistically be a face-off with one of the few active legendary figures yet to succumb to an Attitude Adjustment.

After a year of uncertainty (and around five of similarly tepid to-ing and fro-ing), it would be remarkably fitting to allow the incredible legacy of one of the company's greatest icons to actually Rest In Peace.
