The Undertaker-WrestleMania 29 Update!

Regarding Undertaker, there is still noting definite that we know of. Everything is being kept very quiet if there even is a final decision right now. Undertaker was in Nashville and photographed at the Nashville Predators NHL game on 2/10, the night before Raw in that city. He was in better condition than people expected, at least as far as having lost noticeable weight in recent weeks. But he didn’t appear on Raw the next day, nor was he backstage. However, there are reports that he did have a meeting with Vince McMahon. To me, the idea of saying Undertaker would make an appearance advertised at Elimination Chamber (without wrestling) would put it over the top. Plus, if he had a hand in Punk losing, then it’s a storyline for Punk wanting to face him. Right now, if he does wrestler, and given that he lost so much weight in a short period of time, I take that as a sign he’s planning on it, now you need to create a storyline with Punk. Undertaker had major shoulder surgery and major hip surgery over the past year which made it impossible for him to do any serious training for a long time. He couldn’t lift upper body because of the shoulder rehab, lower body because of the hip, plus would be very limited in ability to do cardio until the hip recovered. Due to establishing a reputation from his last four matches, he doesn’t want to come back and have to fake his way through a mediocre match, which is why it’s up in the air. As of a few days ago, he was still “planned” for Punk. What happens with Punk if he’s not doing the show has either not been fully decided or is being kept very quiet. Those who are close with him believe that if he doesn’t do the show this year that his career is not over and it would simply be he didn’t have enough time to fully recover from everything. The expectation is he would like to the 2014 show, and that show could be built around his farewell, since he’ll be 49 at that point.
