Professional wrestling legend and a two times WWE Hall of Famer Booker T who is a former five times WCW World Heavyweight Champion and a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently talked about the potential return of the Undertaker. It is rumoured that the Phenom might return for one match at WrestleMania 38.
There are plenty of names that are rumoured to be the potential opponent of the Undertaker. The last time he had a Wrestlemania match was at WrestleMania 36 against AJ Styles and it was a Boneyard match.
Booker T Reflects On The Potential Return Of The Undertaker
AJ carried the match excellently and this Boneyard match turned out to be one of the best matches of the Year. Taker is already 56 and by WrestleMania 38 he would be 57. So if we actually wrestles at Mania, it has to be against someone like AJ Styles who can carry the whole match.
A number of rumoured names have already came into limelight for the potential opponent of the Undertaker. One of the names the former four time WWE World Champion Seth Rollins. Even though it is only a rumour but he can definitely carry the match. Bobby Lashley is another rumoured name who could face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 38. This dream match is actually rumoured for quite a long time and at WrestleMania 38 it can actually come into reality.
Another big name that is rumoured to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania 38 is the current WWE Universal heavyweight champion Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief almost retired the Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 when he defeated him at the main event of the show.
A rematch between this iconic duo after five years in the same stage would have been epic. But this match could also stall the progress of Roman Reigns so it is highly doubtful if WWE would book such a match. “The Demon” Finn Balor is also rumoured to face the Dead Man at the event. but these are all rumours at the end of the day.
Booker T who is a former five times WCW World Heavyweight Champion and a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke on his “Hall of Fame” podcast where he talked about the potential return of the Undertaker for WrestleMania 38. He said;
“Honestly, I do not think we’re going to see The Undertaker in-ring at WrestleMania 38,” Booker said. “The thing is, can The Undertaker come back and do one more match? I’m sure he could, I’m sure. That’s what wrestlers do man, whether they can do it or not. It’s almost like, there’s the ring there, just push me and I’ll do the rest.
“Can The Undertaker go out and do another match? Yes, I think he can, but I think for the nostalgia of The Undertaker, it’s too early to see him right now and really get our bang for our buck as far as, ‘Oh man, we’re going to see The Undertaker do it again!’ If he came back and did it now, I just don’t think we’d get that same feeling if we got it when people thought that he couldn’t do it. I think we’d get more out of something like that.”
