3. That Smackdown Promo Reasoning
As noted, when Taker made his appearance on the 900th episode of Smackdown he alluded that WrestleMania would no longer define him. He would also go on to say that if Smackdown were to have lost at Survivor Series, that they would have to deal with him. Luckily the blue team won their match, thus one of the reasons that perhaps Taker has not come back since then.
With that being said, he is advertised to appear on Raw this coming Monday night. His role there isn’t clear just yet, but with the Royal Rumble coming up and a possible WrestleMania announcement this may set the course for Taker for 2017.

In my Potential Royal Rumble Winners blog, I listed Taker as one of the possible winners coming out of the Alamodome on January 29th. I just don’t see anyone else from Smackdown winning unless it is him. With John Cena wrestling AJ Styles the same night, we could very well see the rumored match between Cena and Taker for WrestleMania 33. Will it be his last match like the rumor says? We won’t know until it actually happens.
