As of this week, WWE's current plan is to keep The Undertaker off TV until WrestleMania 31. Unless something changes, Taker will not be appearing on RAW or SmackDown to help build the storyline with Bray Wyatt.

The idea behind keeping Taker off TV is that we don't know where he's been, we don't know what he looks like or what his condition is so it will be a bigger surprise when he does appear at WrestleMania.

Bray Wyatt has been playing mind games.
The Undertaker doesn't need to be physically present for a lightning bolt to hit or for smoke to fill the ring.
For the first time since Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker can stop being so 'human' and dig into his 'supernatural' bag of tricks.
To be honest, who really needs Undertaker to show anyway? Sting doesn't and WWE is making that work.

Taker showing would be cool, but he isn't lifting one finger toward Wyatt before its time. Taker has nothing against Wyatt, its mere child's play considering it's only one match.

Here's the thing though so say Taker doesn't appear until WM basically treating Wyatt's taunts like it means nothing and then they book him (Taker) to lose then that makes him look weak which we all know he's not.. with the way you're describing it sounds like that would be a perfect scenario to make Taker show up and Bray to straight job out to him.. It's going to be an interesting booking as far as reception goes, this is something I'm truly curious to see play out when all is said and done.

This sounds like the type of booking I had in mind for Taker. So he won't be on Raw, now if they just remove him from the Mania card we will be 100% on the same page.

I figured this is how they'd book it and I don't take much issue with it. Taker is still capable of fooling with Wyatt's psyche and playing mind games with him even without Taker being there in person (screwing with the lights and whatnot, making Wyatt believe he could show up at any moment, etc.), much like he did with Kane leading up to WM20. Hell, they could even have Taker's voice play over the building one night (say on the go-home Raw before Wrestlemania) and taunt Wyatt with a cryptic speech about "awakening the dead" and Taker himself would not even have to appear.

I don't mind this angle.

I do wish that taker would appear as I think it would only help the feud not hurt it. However, does he have to be there? No, not really. Bray and takers video segments and creepy moments will carry this feud.

- We noted before that WWE's current plan is for The Undertaker to stay off TV until WrestleMania 31. It should be noted that while he's not scheduled to be on TV, Taker will respond to Bray Wyatt's challenge in some way, possibly as soon as Monday's RAW.

WWE's website has an article wondering if The Undertaker will accept the challenge. They wrote:

"It's a constant in life that everything will eventually come to an end. And despite Bray Wyatt's cries for a monumental clash on The Grandest Stage of Them All, he may have to look elsewhere for his WresleMania moment. The WWE Universe will simply have to wait on the edge of its seat to see if The Undertaker's WrestleMania reign is truly over."
