Jim Ross On Possible Opponents For The Undertaker At WrestleMania, If It Will Be Taker's Last Mania
There has been much speculation regarding The Undertaker's WrestleMania opponent. Names like John Cena and Braun Strowman were floated, before a report last week said it wouldn't be an active wrestler. Either way, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross doesn't think it'll be Undertaker's last.
"I can't believe Undertaker or WWE would want his last match promoted with a whisper, so I have no belief that this will be the Undertaker's last match. Unless there's a press conference held and something big is made of it. You can't be a promoter and not promote Undertaker's last match without much fanfare or being aggressive with that information," Ross said to Wrestling Inc's Raj Giri in an exclusive interview. "Guarantee someone will say Stone Cold did it at WrestleMania 19. He did, and in hindsight, it was a mistake."

Ross also mentioned a couple of names that he thought could have a good match with Undertaker, only to be harassed by Twitter users.
"I thought that if you wanted Undertaker to have a good match, I suggested Luke Harper. I think Luke Harper would be fundamentally sound, have a good match, and have the threat of the Wyatts there. I mentioned that and got lambasted by a bunch of 14-year olds on Twitter saying 'They had that match last November.' Oh. Really? Startling news, a revolution. You're a sage. They had the match in November? I'll be damned. That kills that idea, because you certainly don't want to have a match in April that you had in November," said Ross.
Another name Ross brought up was that of former WWE, WCW and World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho.
"Someone who could have a good match with Undertaker would be Chris Jericho, for example. Jericho can bump, talk, will have a sound match. They're strong enough alpha males that they'll want to have a bigger presence on the show that many will expect to see," Ross said.
