Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer that The Undertaker’s opponent for WrestleMania 32 has already been decided, and it’s not someone who is currently on the roster.

Meltzer was asked on Wrestling Observer Radio if that meant it was someone from NXT or someone from another company.

Meltzer replied: “Someone who is not an active wrestler is what I was told, which made me think Sting. I mean, I don’t know if that’s who it is, I mean who else is there out there?”

Meltzer also noted that Bill Goldberg is a possibility, but he thinks it’s unlikely given his rocky relationship with WWE.
