Owens was primed for the spot in 2016.
While The Undertaker only hung up his boots four years ago, he missed the chance to work with a number of now-tenured WWE superstars. Taker spent the last decade of his career on a heavy part-time schedule, typically only wrestling a handful of matches per year. Most of these final matches went down at WrestleMania, the annual event that Taker held a prestigious undefeated streak at until 2014.
After spending 14 years on the independent circuit, Owens made his WWE debut in December 2014 at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution. Just five months later, Owens was called up to the main roster, targeting John Cena in his first WWE Monday Night Raw program. While he was far from green during this run, standing opposite The Undertaker within his"rookie" year in WWE, at WrestleMania nonetheless, would have made Owens one of the freshest superstars to challenge Taker at the historic event.
