Last week, Bray Wyatt continued his one-man feud, directly calling out the Undertaker for a WrestleMania match. The casket stunt came after weeks of Wyatt delivering cryptic promos about not fearing death and begging his opponent to find him. At this point, Wyatt has done all of the talking, as Undertaker has not surfaced since last years WrestleMania loss to Brock Lesnar. Given the sheer amount of time that has passed since Bray began his tirades, Taker is long overdue to respond. But how will he answer Wyatt? There are stories surfacing that WWE might want to keep Undertaker off camera until Mania, using other methods to communicate that he accepts Wyatts challenge for WrestleMania. That would be a mistake, given that Sting also is more or less participating in a feud by proxy. Doing that with two major matches three, if you count Lesnars limited appearances is not a good way to build interest in your biggest event of the year. Of the three Lesnar, Sting and Undertaker only Taker is not severely limited to a handful of appearances. So despite the rumors, Undertaker could make his presence felt in person as opposed to a simple gong or some parlor tricks on Monday.
