Make no mistake about it, John Cena and the Undertaker will be squaring off at WrestleMania 34, despite a confusing build that could end up looking rather genius in the end.

So let’s get through the question that everyone is probably asking right now; Is the match going to take place?

Yes. Yes. Yes (using Daniel Bryan voice).

The 2 WWE icons will be facing off in an “impromptu” match at WrestleMania, but it won’t be in a traditional build, as a match of this magnitude may have warranted.

So why did WWE go this route? Because of the luxury of being able to do so.

The WrestleMania 34 card is stacked and WWE felt very confident in a slow build for a Cena/Taker match due to the strength of the match lineup.

Things changed when Daniel Bryan was cleared to perform at the annual event as WWE saw an already great card, get even stronger.

So, WWE, who is always looking to create a special “WrestleMania moment”, is treating this as an opportunity to do just that on the “Grandest Stage of Them All”.

According to a source, WWE is planning for John Cena to cut a promo at the event in some form or fashion (most likely in the ring) and run down the Undertaker yet again.

At that point, Undertaker will appear and the two will have an impromptu match, more like a Street Fight.

WWE is considering Undertaker’s biker gimmick to respond to Cena, which would go in-line with Undertaker’s apparent “retiring” of the Deadman after his loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33.

WWE could squeeze 1-3 more matches out of the Biker gimmick, while still honoring the retirement of Undertaker’s Deadman gimmick.

Tune in Sunday to see how it all unfolds live.

Former WWE star Lanny ‘The Genius’ Poffo has reportedly died at the age of 68, according to his close friend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, although no cause of death has been given at the time of this writing.

Poffo made his in-ring debut with the All-South Wrestling Alliance back in 1974, and also wrestled for a number of promotions such as the National Wrestling Alliance where he won a tag-team title with his father, Angelo.

Poffo debuted for WWE back in 1985 where he would be known as “Leaping Lanny Poffo” and “The Genius.”

Poffo would return to WWE back in 2015 to induct his brother, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, into the WWE Hall of Fame in a touching induction ceremony ahead of WrestleMania 31.

“With a very, very heavy heart, I’ve been asked to let everyone know about the passing of our friend and colleague Lanny Poffo, The Genius,” Duggan said on Twitter.

WWE superstar Braun Strowman has had a number of memorable moments during his career at WWE, but none are quite like the 2018 Royal Rumble where Brock Lesnar got upset with Strowman for catching him with a knee.

Lesnar didn’t take to kindly and immediately hit Strowman with a flurry of legitimate punches, including a right hand to his jaw.

“Shit got real” Strowman said, during an interview with BT Sport.

“I mean, at the end of the day it’s two scary guys, two dominant males, not wanting to give an inch to either one, and we took it from each other. Things happen. We’re not playing, we’re not ballet, we’re not badminton. We’re physical. He’s [Lesnar] 300lbs, of just unadulterated animalistic beast and I’m a 385lbs monster. Things happen. At the end of the day, we made one hell of a segment, that’s what really happened.”

“I pat myself on the back. I think I’m the only person in history to take an overhand right from Brock Lesnar and not get knocked out. Anytime you get in the ring with “The Beast” and mix it up, the bigger the challenge the better. If you’re not wrestling the best, then who’d you beat?”
