7 Reasons Why The Undertaker Must Never Return
6. The Roman Empire
It didn't do an exceptional job of it, but Undertaker's departure earlier this year did at least give Roman Reigns a major victory as part of the company's latest attempt to give him a push back up the card.
Kept away from a Universal Title he's still yet to win, Roman's battle against 'The Deadman' was always destined to be one of the true 'main events' at WrestleMania 33, but in going on last and intentionally presenting it as a farewell, it upped the stock of the 'Big Dog' exponentially.
The match was largely dreadful (more on that later), but the result has been all people have discussed since. Especially with The Undertaker wisely staying away.
Roman Reigns may never turn heel in the traditional sense good guys used to become bad guys, but as he continues to play the enforced tweener role in an argument between WWE creative and the audience, spending the next few years saying he ran off 'The Phenom' won't hurt his case on either side of the fence.
Running 'the yard' seemed the most pressing concern of both in the build up, so having that usurped by a rapid-fire Undertaker return would only further diminish Reigns' appeal to a large dissenting portion of the audience.
