The Undertaker is scheduled to appear on Monday Night Raw for the first time in ten months next week, January 9. According to the latest rumors, The Undertaker is expected to announce that he will be entering the 2017 Royal Rumble Match.
The WWE announced on Monday, January 2, that The Undertaker is going to appear on next week’s episode of Raw, per Wrestling Inc. “The Deadman” will be joined by his former rival, Shawn Michaels, who will be promoting his WWE Studios-produced film titled, “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.”
On the other hand, The Undertaker is rumored to be announcing his participation on the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match on January 29 in San Antonio, Texas. The WWE has been building this year’s Rumble event as the biggest one in history, per Cageside Seats.
As of this writing, there are only eight superstars confirmed for the 2017 Royal Rumble Match. Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar already announced their entry late last year while Chris Jericho, The New Day and Braun Strowman declare their participation last Monday on Raw.
Baron Corbin also announced on SmackDown Live that he will be entering the Royal Rumble Match. So far, those are big names along with up and comers. The addition of The Undertaker has been speculated for a couple of weeks now.
The 51-year-old legend is the overwhelming favorite to win the Rumble Match on several betting websites. It is believed that The Undertaker will challenge for the WWE championship at WrestleMania 33.
