WWE Rumors: Update on Undertaker vs. AJ Styles Royal Rumble Match, John Cena Wrestlemania Showdown

The Undertaker is reportedly scheduled to face reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion A.J Styles at the Royal Rumble, according to veteran wrestling writer Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer.

Meltzer confirmed the WWE creative is exploring the possibility of booking an AJ Styles vs. the Undertaker WWE championship match at the Royal Rumble 2017.

The Undertaker recently announced his intention to resume his wrestling career on SmackDown 900 after lengthy hiatus from the squared circle.

According to Meltzer, the possibility of Undertaker gunning for the top individual belt in WWE is not far-fetched, especially after the Deadman underwent a successful hip injury. The only roadblock for this dream match to materialize is Taker's current condition, whether or not he has fully recovered from the surgery.

"Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer that there have been discussions regarding WWE Champion AJ Styles facing The Undertaker at The Royal Rumble. Meltzer noted that there may be a timing issue, given that Undertaker is currently going through rehab following his recent hip surgery."

Meltzer added the plan is for the Undertaker to take the WWE Championship from Styles and put it on the line against John Cena at Wrestlemania 33.

Cena was unable to participate in this year's Survivor Series and will likely miss more action in the ring as he's currently doing the second season of his show, American Grit.

However, expect the Cenation leader to make his presence felt during the buildup towards Wrestlemania, more so if his Battle of Immortals showdown with the Undertaker pushes through.

Cena, 15-time WWE champion, is eyeing to tie Ric Flair's championship haul of 16. His last work in the work was a couple of months ago at No Mercy in a triple-threat match with Dean Ambrose and Styles.
