Report: Undertaker, Ronda Rousey Not Working WrestleMania 36
Many have believed that the WWE would bring The Undertaker and Ronda Rousey back in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 36.
That, though, does not appear to be the case.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Undertaker is working on a potential appearance, but no match is being discussed. A string of appearances starting in 2000 ended last year when Undertaker did not compete.
His last in-ring WrestleMania was in 2018 with a victory over John Cena.

As for Rousey, initial plans with Charlotte Flair now appear to be tabled. Officials wanted to put the former champion with Flair last year, but Becky Lynch forced a change.

That left the door open for 2020 and WrestleMania, but Flair won the Royal Rumble and is slated to challenge Rhea Ripley for the NXT title.
Last year, Rousey lost her title in a Triple Threat match with Flair and Lynch. It was Lynch who walked out of WrestleMania 35 the big winner, scoring a main event victory.
WrestleMania 36 is set for Sunday, April 5 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The event will stream live on WWE Network.
