WWE reportedly wants The Undertaker to be inducted into the 2015 WWE Hall Of Fame, if he chooses not to wrestle at the WrestleMania 31 event that weekend.

As noted in the past, if 'Taker does decide to work a match at WrestleMania, WWE officials want it to be with Bray Wyatt. They are keeping him strong due to this.

A potential Hall of Fame induction if he doesn't wrestle, guaranteeing him as part of "WrestleMania weekend" either way, is likely the reason WWE has been advertising The Undertaker in the WrestleMania promotional materials, such as the tour buses and production trucks.

As noted recently, WWE painted up some of their giant WrestleMania 31-promotional tour buses with The Undertaker, which is said to be considered a strong sign that he will be working the show in some form.

As of right now, the booking plan is to have The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania, as long as Undertaker gives word that he is willing to wrestle, which he has not done yet.

There's also a chance that he will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame next year, if he is indeed done with his in-ring career, although there has been talk for years that he would retire at Cowboys Stadium -- which is the site of WrestleMania 32 -- since it will likely set the all-time attendance record.

Regardless, expect Undertaker involved in some form or fashion during WrestleMania 31 weekend, as he is under a seven-figure downside guarantee contract, and WWE wants to justify the deal.
