It’s not quite the Rumble but it’s close. According to the Wrestling Obvsever Newsletter by way of 411mania.com, the Undertaker is rumored to be facing AJ Styles for the Smackdown World Title at the big event in January. During his recent appearance on the 900th episode of “Smackdown Live”, Undertaker said that Wrestlemania season will no longer define him and he’ll be around more often.
There’s a chance this match could happen but Undertaker’s health is an issue. As previously reported, Undertaker is recovering from hip surgery and there’s no guarantee he’ll be back in time for January. On top of that there is the issue of Undertaker being mad at Dean Ambrose, who turned on his “Smackdown Live” teammate Styles at “Survivor Series 2016”.
I certainly don’t think it would be a stretch to suggest that Styles vs. Undertaker would be one heck of a match, especially if Undertaker is healthy. In theory this could set up Undertaker or Styles vs. John Cena at “Wrestlemania XXXIII” in April but we’re still a fairly long way off from that.
Do you want to see Undertaker get the title back for one more run? If so, who should he face at “Wrestlemania XXXIII?” Let us know in the comments below.
