  • Rumored Reason Why The Undertaker Didn’t Appear On RAW

    Rumored Reason Why The Undertaker Didn’t Appear On RAW

    Last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW was the final opportunity for The Undertaker to respond to John Cena’s WrestleMania 34 challenge. The Leader Of The Cenation has been calling out The Deadman for the past several weeks.

    After failing to punch his ticket to WrestleMania by way of the Royal Rumble, the Elimination Chamber, and a Six-Pack Challenge match for the WWE Title at Fastlane – Cena attempted to land a bout at The Showcase Of The Immortals be attempting to lure out Taker.

    Despite a hefty amount of derogatory remarks on the microphone, and a social media campaign fronted by the #DoSomething hashtag, Undertaker has produced no response to Cena’s challenge.

    Although the match is expected to happen, fans believed last night’s RAW would be the night we finally received an answer from Undertaker. Instead, The Deadman made no appearance and delivered no message to Cena.

    Cageside Seats reports that Undertaker didn’t appear on RAW to accept Cena’s challenge because they don’t feel that they need to officially promote the match, and hope the uncertainty surrounding it will be enough buzz for it.

  • WWE Is Still Teasing John Cena vs. The Undertaker At WrestleMania 34

    WWE Is Still Teasing John Cena vs. The Undertaker At WrestleMania 34

    For several weeks now, WWE fans have been wondering when the WWE will announce that John Cena would face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34.

    As seen on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Atlanta, GA at the Philips Arena on the USA Network, Cena once again issued the challenge to “The Deadman” for a match at the biggest event of the year for the sports entertainment company.

    Many fans of the WWE thought that with this episode being the go-home edition of WrestleMania 34 for the RAW brand, Taker would make an appearance and accept the challenge. However, that wasn’t the case.

    Over the past few years, he has gone from being a full-time talent to a part-timer. After years of speculation of when Taker would retire from pro wrestling, it appeared that he had his farewell at WrestleMania 33 in the main event against Roman Reigns last year in Orlando, Florida. After the match, Taker put his gloves and hat in the middle of the ring before leaving.

    Taker was last seen on WWE television back in January during the RAW 25 Anniversary episode where he cut a promo in the ring about how he has beaten everyone that there is to beat. Cena vs. Taker will reportedly take place at WrestleMania with the WWE announcing the match during the show. 

    Here is an excerpt from the teaser that the sports entertainment company posted on their official website:

    “Will The Undertaker return to battle John Cena at WrestleMania?

    After coming up short in several attempts to secure a WrestleMania bout, including the Royal Rumble Match, a career-altering contest inside Elimination Chamber and a WWE Championship Six-Pack Challenge Match at WWE Fastlane, John Cena has seen his Road to WrestleMania hit a dead end.

    However, before accepting his fate and preparing to go to The Showcase of the Immortals as a member of the WWE Universe, The Leader of the Cenation decided to exhaust one more option and challenged The Undertaker to a one-on-one match on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

    So, what now for Cena? With The Undertaker offering no answer to his challenge, perhaps the showdown between the two iconic Superstars is simply not meant to be. Is Cena destined to experience this year’s Showcase of The Immortals as a spectator? Will he aid another Superstar to victory or perhaps offer his expert knowledge of The Grandest Stage of Them All as a guest commentator? Or, is there still a chance that a match between John Cena and The Undertaker may take place? Find out this Sunday at WrestleMania, streaming live on WWE Network at a special start time of 7 ET/4 PT”

    WrestleMania 34 is set to be held on Sunday, April 8, 2018, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This event airs on pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network. It’s the most successful and longest-running professional wrestling event in history.

    John Cena Hypes Tonight’s RAW, Teases Return Of “The American Badass”

    If The Undertaker is ever going to respond to John Cena’s WrestleMania 34 challenge, tonight’s the night to do it.

    For the past several weeks The Leader Of The Cenation has attempted to lure The Deadman out and accept his challenge, however, Undertaker has remained radio silent on the matter.

    Cena has verbally attacked Undertaker on the microphone week after week on RAW, and has even fired off a few shots at him on social media as well. He recently took to Twitter to promote tonight’s episode of RAW, continuing to use the hashtag #DoSomething:

    Cena also referenced the rumors going around that Taker could return under his American Badass gimmick. With the fact that Kid Rock, who sang Undertaker’s American Badass theme back in the early 2000s, is going into the celebrity wing of the 2018 WWE Hall Of Fame this weekend – speculation has continued to run rampant.

    With that being said, Cena decided to post an Instagram photo of some American Badass gear:

  • Roman Reigns Reflects On His WrestleMania Match With The Undertaker

    Roman Reigns Reflects On His WrestleMania Match With The Undertaker

    Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by CBS Sports to promote WrestleMania 34 this weekend, where he’ll challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship in what’s expected to be the night’s main event. Reigns was asked about his main event WrestleMania match last year, in which he became the second-ever man to defeat The Undertaker at The Showcase Of The Immortals.

    Reigns said that he feels the match could’ve been better, and he mostly puts the blame on himself for it not living up to expectations:

    “For me, what made it so hard was how heavy it was. You know, if I wrestled The Undertaker 20 years ago at the beginning or the middle of his career, probably not. But the positioning I found myself in, it just felt really heavy and so much more emotional than I was ready for it to be, so I think that was the hardest thing … but, you know, the coolest thing because I think that just shows the gravity of the situation, the responsibility of the placement [on the card] and just who I was sharing the ring with.

    “And that’s just how special he is. I just feel like maybe I wasn’t good enough or maybe it could have been better on my behalf, but I always hold The Undertaker in so high in that regard that I just feel like maybe I could have done better. But I enjoyed it.

    “I really learned a huge amount in the ring with him; you know, to being in the ring with him for one singles match and to have it be at that level, to be able to pick something up in just 30-40 minutes from another performer — it just goes to show how good he is.”

  • Reason Why WWE Has Delayed John Cena vs. The Undertaker Match Announcement

    Reason Why WWE Has Delayed John Cena vs. The Undertaker Match Announcement

    For weeks now, WWE fans have been wondering when the WWE will announce that John Cena would face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34.

    However, despite the speculation, the sports entertainment company continues to delay the match announcement. The former WWE Champion has been calling out The Deadman for weeks now for a match at the biggest event of the year for the sports entertainment company. However, there has been nothing from Taker.

    Many people thought due to the fact that we are two weeks away from Mania, Taker would appear on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Cleveland, Ohio at the Quicken Loans Arena on the USA Network as Kane battled Cena in a No DQ match in the main event. That was not the case.

    Dave Meltzer gave an update on the situation during the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio. The longtime pro wrestling journalist speculated that the reason the WWE has held off on his match announcement is due to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon feeling that they have already announced a loaded card and it can wait.

    “They will wait until the last week as the thing is realistically, they have a loaded card and it’s not like they will have trouble selling tickets. The idea is with Daniel Bryan’s return and Ronda Rousey’s match, you know Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. I think maybe Vince figures ‘hey, it’s a loaded up card, we can wait until the last week to push Cena vs. Undertaker.’

    WrestleMania 34 is set to be held on Sunday, April 8, 2018, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This event airs on pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network. It’s the most successful and longest-running professional wrestling event in history.

    – For the past several weeks John Cena has been attempting to lure The Undertaker into a match at WrestleMania 34. “The Leader Of The Cenation” has called out “The Deadman” with a number of promos on Monday Night RAW, but is now taking his assault to social media. He posted the following photo on Instagram of a Cena character (of sorts) poking the head of The Undertaker with a stick, saying “C’mon, do something…..”:

  • Reported Date On When John Cena vs. The Undertaker Will Be Made Official

    Reported Date On When John Cena vs. The Undertaker Will Be Made Official

    WrestleMania takes place in just over two weeks, yet top star John Cena is still without an opponent for the biggest show of the year.

    Cena has been on a mission to secure The Undertaker’s opponent. So far, he’s yet get a response. After failing to punch his ticket to WrestleMania in the Elimination Chamber and at Fastlane, Cena once again threw out the challenge to “The Deadman.” Cena called out The Undertaker once again this past week on RAW, but that brought out Kane, who delivered a chokeslam. They’ll square off next week on RAW.

    As per a rumor at Cageside Seats, WWE might wait until the “go-home” addition of RAW prior to WrestleMania to make the Cena vs. Undertaker match official.

    It seems like a questionable decision to wait until the last minute to confirm one of the most high-profile matches on the WrestleMania card, but the lineup is already stacked, so WWE must be confident that fans are already sold on the event. Seriously, look at this lineup:

    • Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns
    • Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
    • WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
    • Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn (Daniel Bryan & Shane likely to be added)
    • SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka
    • Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor
    • US Champion Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Bobby Roode
    • Mustafa Ali vs. Cedric Alexander to crown a new Cruiserweight Champion
    • Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
    • The first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal Match
    • Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing
    • Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax

    John Cena vs. The Undertaker is a huge match that fans have wanted to see for years. Granted, it would have been a hotter match 3 years ago, but it’s historic nonetheless. At this point, Cena vs. Taker would be the icing on the cake of an already-stacked event.

  • Edge Explains Why He Didn’t Like John Cena’s Undertaker Promo On RAW

    Edge Explains Why He Didn’t Like John Cena’s Undertaker Promo On RAW

    On last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW John Cena addressed his Road To WrestleMania and once again called out The Undertaker. WWE Hall Of Famer Edge recently offered his thoughts on the promo in the latest episode of he and Christian’s podcast, E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness, calling it “hokey”:

    “The John Cena promo, I thought it was pretty hokey,” Edge admitted. “I’m not going to lie. It was cool at some points, but then it was very… I don’t know, just a very hokey delivery. And I know that’s Cena’s schtick sometimes, but it just didn’t feel like this was the moment or the opponent for that, I think. That was my gut when I first watched it. Yeah, I don’t know.

    “I think that’s a huge, massive match and I’m glad the crowd reacted the way they did and I didn’t even mind the going into the crowd thing, like, the way they’re setting this up like if he doesn’t have this match, or he doesn’t have this match, or he doesn’t have this match, he’ll go and pay to sit in the audience. I guess it was just when it got to talking about The Undertaker stuff, it just didn’t feel quite as… I don’t know.

    “I don’t even know how to put my finger on it. I guess it’s just sometimes it’s kind of hokey delivery can kind of work, but in that instance, it just didn’t work for me. I mean, John never sounds like he’s at a loss for words.” Edge continued, “it’s a good promo. I don’t know. I guess it’s just the tone of it. I don’t know. I don’t know even how to put my finger on it.

    “That just feels like one of those promos that should be nothing but serious, I guess. I don’t know. I don’t know. I’d have to watch it again, obviously. I could completely backtrack on everything I’m saying right now, but my gut was like, ‘huh, that was odd.’ Yeah, but they’ll have such an iconic match. But we called it, brother-brother! I don’t know if it’ll be career vs. career like I think it should be.”

  • The Ultimate Deletion & More Set For Next Week’s RAW, The Undertaker Returning?

    The Ultimate Deletion & More Set For Next Week’s RAW, The Undertaker Returning?

    The Road to WrestleMania 34 heats up on next week’s WWE RAW from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX two matches and a segment already confirmed.

    Asuka will do battle with RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss in a non-title match that should see the confirmation of Nia Jax vs. Bliss for WrestleMania 34.

    WWE will also air The Ultimate Deletion match next week, which was recently taped at The Hardy Compound in Cameron, NC. Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy will go at it in what may be the end of The Great War between the two.

    Next week’s RAW will also feature an appearance by WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, according to Vince McMahon. Lesnar was once again off this week’s RAW, missing the scheduled face off with Roman Reigns, but Vince gave his word that The Beast will be back next week. As noted, Vince “temporarily suspended” Reigns with an angle on tonight’s RAW and there’s no word yet on when he will be brought back, or if he will be in Dallas next week to face off with Lesnar.

    It will be interesting to see if The Undertaker returns to WWE TV on next week’s RAW in Dallas. WWE currently has John Cena advertised to appear and tonight’s RAW saw Cena issue a WrestleMania 34 challenge to The Dead Man. Taker lives in Texas.

    VIDEO: John Cena Blasts The Undertaker, Issues WrestleMania Challenge

    It looks like John Cena vs. The Undertaker is finally happening at WrestleMania 34, which takes place on April 8th in New Orleans.

    Cena appeared on tonight’s RAW in Detroit to officially challenge The Dead Man to the match. Cena said only one person is stopping the match from happening and that is Taker. Cena went on to rip into Taker, calling him self-centered and an egomaniac. Cena also said Taker isn’t washed up and isn’t broken down because if he was, he wouldn’t be posting workout clips to his wife’s Instagram account. Cena stated that he will be going to WrestleMania this year as a fan or as Taker’s opponent. Cena ended the promo by telling Taker that the ball is in his court but he should get over his ego and have just one more match.

    No word yet on when Taker might return to WWE TV to answer the challenge but the match is likely happening if they went this far with the tease. Taker made a brief throw-away appearance back at the RAW 25th Anniversary show in January but he has not wrestled since losing to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33 in 2017.

    Below are photos and videos from tonight’s segment with Cena:

  • More Information On When The Undertaker Could Return To WWE TV

    More Information On When The Undertaker Could Return To WWE TV

    As we’ve noted, the expectation for The Undertaker at this year’s WrestleMania is that he’ll be working John Cena at the event. Cena teased the match-up a few weeks ago on RAW by saying he challenged “The Deadman” to a match at “The Showcase Of The Immortals.” He later stuck a dagger in wrestling fans’ hearts by saying he was told that match was impossible. “The Leader Of The Cenation” then went to SmackDown Live where he earned his way into tomorrow’s WWE Championship match at the Fastlane pay-per-view (PPV).

    The match will be a Six Pack Challenge between WWE Champion AJ Styles, John Cena, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin, and Dolph Ziggler. The winner of the match will go on to WrestleMania to defend the WWE Title against Shinsuke Nakamura. Cena has the opportunity to win a record-breaking 17th World Title tomorrow night. Unfortunately for fans of Cena, that’s not expected to happen.

    In the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Live, Brian Alvarez was asked if we could possibly see the build-up to Cena vs. Undertaker on WWE TV this week. Alvarez speculated that the program could actually kickoff at tomorrow’s Fastlane event, as he doesn’t think WWE will wait for RAW to start the feud. It’s expected AJ Styles will successfully defend his title tomorrow to set up a singles match against Nakamura at WrestleMania – which has the potential to tear the house down and steal the show.

    As for Cena, it’s possible Taker could accept his challenge and cost him tomorrow’s match to setup their bout at Mania. It should be interesting to see if this actually transpires during tomorrow’s PPV event.

  • The Undertaker Downplays A Possible WWE Return During Recent Appearance

    The Undertaker Downplays A Possible WWE Return During Recent Appearance

    For the past several weeks there has been a ton of talk and speculation as to whether or not The Undertaker will be competing at this year’s WrestleMania 34 event from New Orleans. Rumors suggest that “The Deadman” will be working against John Cena at “The Showcase Of The Immortals” this year. Cena teased that match-up on RAW this past week but said the match was ‘impossible.’

    New reports suggest Cena could actually be working with Rey Mysterio at the event instead. Taker recently appeared at a campaign event for his storyline brother Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs) in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he’s running for mayor. The campaign event was the first time ever that Kane and Taker appeared together in public outside WWE.

    Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that The Undertaker was asked by several fans about a possible return to WWE at WrestleMania, however, he continuously downplayed the idea to those who asked him about it:

    “Yesterday he did a signing in Knox County Tennessee with Kane to help promote Glenn Jacobs for Mayor. Apparently Taker & Glenn Jacobs are close. There were some fans that asked him about returning, and why he could have very well been working them, he kinda gave the impression of “ahh, don’t hold your breather, don’t wait for that one,” but we’ll see.

    “If I was Undertaker and I was returning, certainly I would want to keep the mystique and the aura going and hide things, you know? Sort of do a little slide of hands. We’ll see what happens.”

    Ronda Rousey Comments On Triple H’s Sucker Punch To Kurt Angle, What Happened After RAW?, John Cena On His Undertaker WrestleMania Challenge

    – On last night’s closing segment of Monday Night RAW; Ronda Rousey, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Kurt Angle attempted to clear the air from their incident at Elimination Chamber. Angle was pressured into admitting that he lied about Triple H and Stephanie’s comments regarding Rousey. Angle apologized and Stephanie apologized to Rousey for slapping Rousey at Elimination Chamber after she put Triple H through a table.

    Before Triple H and Stephanie left the ring, however, “The Game” hit Angle with a punch (that actually missed) and knocked him down. Rousey tended to Angle as RAW went off air. “The Rowdy One” took to Twitter to comment on Triple H’s sucker punch on Angle:

    – The dark main event of Monday Night RAW after the show went off air on the USA Network featured John Cena and Roman Reigns teaming against RAW Tag Team Champions The Bar. Reigns and Cena won the match, however, The Bar retained the titles. There was said to be a lot of comedy and mic work during the bout.

    – As we’ve noted, John Cena teased a WrestleMania match with The Undertaker this April before stating that match is “impossible.” Check out the segment via WWE’s Twitter here:

  • John Cena Challenges The Undertaker For WrestleMania

    John Cena Challenges The Undertaker For WrestleMania

    John Cena appeared on Monday’s RAW from Anaheim, California to address coming up short in Suday’s 7-man Elimination Chamber match. As a result of that loss, Cena is dejected and without an opponent for WrestleMania.

    After some soul searching over the past 24 hours, Cena said it was time to do what he should have done years ago: challenge The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania. The crowd went nuts at the prospect of this dream match finally taking place after years of rumors and fantasy booking.

    Cena then backtracked, stating that it was “impossible” for that match to take place. He announced he’ll be attending Tuesday’s SmackDown Live in hopes of securing a WrestleMania opponent. It appears the storyline of John Cena’s journey to WrestleMania will play out over the coming weeks. Cena issuing a formal challenge to The Undertaker is a strong indication that the dead man is the opponent he’ll ultimately arrive at.

    Already confirmed for WrestleMania 34 are the WWE and Universal Championship matches, with Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura challenging AJ Styles and Elimination Chamber winner Roman Reigns battling Brock Lesnar.

    Women’s Royal Rumble winner Asuka has yet to decide which Women’s Championship she’ll be vying for at WWE’s biggest show of the year.

    At Sunday’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Ronda Rousey’s WWE contract signing (and subsequent physical altercation with Stephanie McMahon & Triple H) set up a mixed tag team match, likely involving RAW GM Kurt Angle as Rousey’s partner.

    WWE WrestleMania takes place on Sunday, April 8th from New Orleans, Louisiana.

    More Information On John Cena vs. The Undertaker At WrestleMania 34

    As WrestleMania 34 approaches there has still been very limited news as to whether or not we’ll actually see the rumored match-up between John Cena and The Undertaker. Several months ago it was being reported that Cena’s plans for WrestleMania were bigger than the title matches on the card.

    It was then reported that Cena vs. Taker was penciled in for “The Show Of Shows.” Many fans expected the feud to setup at RAW 25, however, Undertaker’s appearance on the show was arguably the most disappointing segment of the night. Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer reports that, as of a few weeks ago, Cena vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania 34 is still the plan.

    Meltzer speculated that if WWE still wants to do it they could set it up after Cena loses the Elimination Chamber match. It should be interesting to see how creative books the feud between these two legends on the road to New Orleans.

  • Sting Reveals When He Decided To Retire, Comments On Never Wrestling The Undertaker

    Sting Reveals When He Decided To Retire, Comments On Never Wrestling The Undertaker

    WWE Hall of Famer Sting recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to talk about various topics. During the interview, he opened up on his retirement from pro wrestling, which was at the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.

    Seth Rollins wrestled Sting for the WWE Title at the 2015 Night of Champions PPV, which marked Sting’s last match after he suffered a neck injury after taking a powerbomb in the corner.

    “I didn’t know if I was going to make any kind of announcement until I did it at the Hall of Fame,” said Sting. “I was wavering, I was kind of back-and-forth on it. I got hurt wrestling Seth [Rollins], and the neurosurgeons and everybody [were] saying I needed surgery, and then I had trouble with cervical spinal stenosis, or whatever they call it, and there were two areas in my neck that were really messed up bad, although I don’t have any pain or side-effects. One more bad fall and it’s not going to be good for me, so I just thought enough was enough.”

    Sting once again reiterated his desire to have a match with The Undertaker. This would be the only match that he would be willing to come out of retirement for.

    “Undertaker,” confirmed Sting. “Now do I regret not leaving [sooner for WWE]? That’s actually a good question, but a tough one to answer. On one side, it’s easy to say, ‘Yeah, I wish I would have gone earlier.’ On the other hand, I really don’t have any regrets. But my dream match for more than a decade, or maybe two decades, was to have a good match against ‘Taker. I always wanted to have that.”

    Undertaker & Michelle McCool Spotted In Philadelphia, Big Cass At WWE Reading Event

    – The WWE always likes to bring in some big names for the Royal Rumble each year, and it seems that they’ve brought in one of the biggest for tomorrow night. PWInsider is reporting that both The Undertaker and Michelle McCool are in Philadelphia for the Royal Rumble.

    It’s possible that the couple is just there for McCool’s appearance in the women’s Royal Rumble, as WWE did reach out to her for an appearance. As for The Undertaker there’s no word yet on if he’ll be competing in the men’s Royal Rumble. Here is a photo and video of Taker and McCool in Philadelphia earlier today:

    – Big Cass appeared alongside NXT Women’s Champ Ember Moon, Mandy Rose, Dana Warrior, and No Way Jose at the WrestleMania Reading Challenge in New Orleans this week as they read to over 300 students for National Reading Day. Here are some photos:

  • Update On Possible Cena vs. Undertaker WrestleMania Match

    Update On Possible Cena vs. Undertaker WrestleMania Match

    With WrestleMania 34 less than three months way, wrestling fans are once again speculating if The Undertaker will lace up the boots one more time and compete at WWE’s biggest show of the year. 

    While there has been no official word about WWE’s in-ring future, the Wrestling Observer has been reporting that plans for the top matches at WrestleMania include a long-awaited showdown between The Undertaker and John Cena.

    Undertaker returned at this week’s RAW 25th Anniversary Special, his first WWE appearance since last year’s Mania loss to Roman Reigns. Undertaker’s RAW 25 segment came and went with no mention of John Cena or what’s in store for him come April 8th.

    On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer addressed the situation, noting that Cena vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania is still the plan and the feud will begin in “the next few weeks.”

    Following Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view, John Cena is expected to work Elias before transitioning into his WrestleMania program. The belief is that Elias is standing in for Samoa Joe, who was scheduled to work with John Cena around this time but is out of action for several months with a foot injury.

    The Undertaker Returns At WWE #RAW25 (Video)

    The Undertaker returned to WWE television on Monday’s RAW 25th Anniversary special, his first appearance since WrestleMania 33 last April. Undertaker appeared at the Manhattan Center 25 years after main eventing the first-ever episode of Monday Night RAW back in 1993.

    Speculation was rampant about the nature of The Undertaker’s appearance. Would he appear as the Dead Man, the American Badass or out of character entirely? Was he there to formally announce his retirement, or begin a WrestleMania feud with John Cena?

    In the end, the appearance was largely uneventful. Undertaker made no reference to his in-ring future, so the question of whether or not he’s wrestled his last WrestleMania match remains unanswered for now.
