As the Royal Rumble draws near, plans for WrestleMania are in full effect. Once the January 29 event is in the books, the top matches for the show of shows will be set.

Of course, The Undertaker is one of the main draws of WrestleMania, and his plans are of considerable interest. According to The Wrestling Observer, "The Phenom" is currently scheduled to take on John Cena at WrestleMania 33 in a match that was originally supposed to happen last year, but was cancelled due to an injury to Cena.

Still, nothing is set in stone. WWE officials are concerned that an Undertaker-Cena match doesn't build for the future, and so there's still consideration being given to a match pitting The Undertaker against Roman Reigns. Being as how both Cena and Reigns are getting world title shots at the Royal Rumble, 'Taker could end up as a WrestleMania challenger.

Three bouts for the show are currently set in stone - The Big Show versus Shaquille O'Neal, Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins versus Triple H. Also tentatively planned for the show are a multiple-woman match for the Raw Women's Championship, Kevin Owens versus Chris Jericho, and - if Reigns doesn't fight Undertaker - Roman Reigns versus Braun Strowman.
