WWE Rumors: The Undertaker Expected to Be in New Jersey for WrestleMania 35

With WrestleMania 35 days away, The Undertaker is reportedly making the trek to New Jersey.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reported The Deadman will be "in town for the festivities," but it's unclear what—if any—role he'll have at Sunday's event, which takes place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

WWE runs numerous promotional events leading up to WrestleMania, and a number of independent promotions head to the host city in order to run big events and shows. The Undertaker may be traveling simply to make a few public appearances and meet up with some of his colleagues.

WWE has done nothing to lead fans to believe the former world champion will actually take part in WrestleMania 35. The Undertaker was also absent in the weeks before WrestleMania 34, but John Cena made it pretty clear through his promos that 'Taker was wrestling.

Even in a ceremonial non-wrestling role, it's hard to see where The Undertaker would fit into WrestleMania 35. WWE.com lists 16 matches that will be spread across the pre-show and main pay-per-view.

Throwing in the appearance of a legendary star doesn't make a lot of sense for a night that's overcrowded enough as is.

Few people are more synonymous with WrestleMania than The Undertaker, who built a streak of 21 straight wins at The Showcase of the Immortals. His window to continue competing there should probably be closed for good, though.
