We now have some clarification regarding The Undertaker’s WWE status. It was announced that “The Deadman” would be appearing at Starrcast II during AEW Double or Nothing weekend. Naturally, fans had some questions. According to PWInsider, The Undertaker is still associated with WWE and has not left the company. He now has the power to take outside signing appearances.
Along with his appearance at Starrcast, The Undertaker will be doing a tour with “Inside The Ropes” in the UK. Undertaker knows he can command some stiff appearance fees for outside bookings. Because of that, expect similar appearances down the line. Given that, the former World Champion’s relationship with WWE seems to be fine.
The Undertaker’s appearance at Starrcast has been described as a “standalone experience”. Conrad Thompson made it very clear from the jump that Undertaker’s appearance at Starrcast in no way affiliates him with AEW. Thompson said, “We have wrestlers appearing from every promotion from all over the world, and Starrcast isn’t just for All Elite Wrestling fans, it’s for all wrestling fans.”
We’ll pass along more details regarding Undertaker’s “standalone experience” as soon as it’s available.
What do you think about Undertaker taking bookings outside WWE?
