There's been much speculation with regards to The Undertaker's unclear status over WrestleMania weekend, with conflicting reports over the past few months putting The Phenom on the show, then off again, ad nauseum.

According to the latest bulletin from PWInsider, it's very much 'on again' for the veteran competitor, who last missed WWE's biggest annual show way back in 2000 thanks to a nasty groin injury.

Multiple sources have confirmed that The Undertaker is already in New Jersey, and is expected to be backstage at the MetLife Stadium to revel in the WrestleMania festivities. Whether he will have a role on-screen at the event is unknown at present, as indeed, is his long-term future with the company beyond this Sunday.

Late last month, The Wrestling Observer reported that even if 'Taker sits out of WrestleMania for the first time in nearly two decades, he is nevertheless expected to play a part in WWE's next sojourn to Saudi Arabia. Obviously, those plans may change.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
