Undertaker is set to take on John Cena at WrestleMania, and rumor has it, he could bring back an old gimmick for the bout.

There is a chance that Undertaker will return as his biker "American Bad Ass" gimmick.

After failing at his chances to get to WrestleMania via a couple different matches - including the Elimination Chamber, John Cena went and called out The Undertaker. Going so far as to call The Deadman a coward, which got him a choke-slam by The Undertaker's brother, Kane.

All that being said, things look to be setting up for a WrestleMania dream match between the 'Face That Runs The Place' and The Undertaker, or at least some version of The Undertaker.

You see, while The Undertaker is possibly the most popular and revered superstar the WWE has ever produced, there are those that would like to see him stay retired. Not because they don't want to see him wrestle again, but because of how he went out last year.

At WrestleMania 33 last year, The Undertaker lost to Roman Reigns and then left his coat and hat in the ring to signify his retirement and the end of an era. It was a powerful moment and one that some fans would like to see honored as the proper end to an incredible career.

But, we all know that retirement in the WWE is often just a break until they come back. So, how could the return of The Undertaker be different? Well, one possibility, as put forth by Sports Illustrated Extra Mustard, is for him to return as The American Badass.

If he rode into WrestleMania 34 on his bike, he could allow the fans to celebrate and honor a different era of his character, while remaining true to The Undertaker character that he left in the ring last year.

As luck would have it, Kid Rock is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year - and he happens to be the guy who performed The Undertaker's American Badass theme song. So, they could have him there to perform it live as The American Badass himself rides to the ring for his return to the squared circle.

The WWE lives for WrestleMania moments and that would sure be one hell of a good one!
