Over the past few years, fans have learned that it's impossible to predict exactly when The Undertaker is going to retire. The soon-to-be 53-year-old superstar has defied expectations for so long, continuing a career that defines "Hall of Fame."

That said, things aren't looking so great right now. "The Phenom" will be taking on Roman Reigns at this year's WrestleMania, but he badly needs hip surgery. He's hoping to hold it off until he retires, but if it's so pressing, that might speed up the timeline.

Undertaker's already done press work for WrestleMania 34, which will be held in New Orleans. There are fans who think that closing out his career at the site of his greatest loss would be a poetic end for Undertaker - plus, it would allow for a long-awaited dream match with John Cena.

With all that in mind, it's likely going to be a newsworthy 12 months for Undertaker. Given how closely he's been associated with WWE, he seems like the obvious choice to get a spot on the cover of WWE 2K18.
