Update on the Undertaker's Health Following WrestleMania

It is no secret that the Undertaker's physical health has been on a rapid decline in the past few years. It became more evident this year when the Undertaker was unable to deliver a match that we have seen in past years that included breath-taking suicide dives, and intense combinations of punches. This year we saw what seemed to be clobbering of the Undertaker by Lesnar.

Following this years match, it became known that Undertaker had suffered a concussion early on in the match. It is unknown if the concussion was responsible for the slow performance of the Undertaker, or whether it was caused by other health issues that were a problem going into the match. You do not have to be a WWE Superstar to know and understand that body of a wrestler ages and gets injured faster and more easily than another person's body. We began to see a decline starting noticably at WrestleMania 27 where Undertaker was unable to leave WrestleMania on his own feet, and was taken away by WWE medical staff. One year later at WrestleMania 28, Taker competed in an intense physical bout against Triple H inside Hell in a Cell. Although Undertaker delivered an amazing match full of awe-inspiring maneuvers and amazing moments featuring HBK and The Game. Although the match was amazing, and you wouldn't see signs of the aging body of the Undertaker, we saw it after the match when the Undertaker was very slow to rise to his feet, and had to be carried out by Sean Michael's and Triple H following the match.

Seeing the decline in health and physical wellness of the Undertaker in previous years, it was clear to fans going into WrestleMania that Brock Lesnar would be the biggest challenge Taker has faced in recent years. After suffering a concussion early in the match, it later became known that Taker collapsed after walking through the curtain following his match.

It is known that Undertaker is back in the gym working out and getting back in shape, but we have heard from friends of the Undertaker that he has no plans for WrestleMania 31, but that decision is not final until the months before WrestleMania.
