The Undertaker is one of the few remaining wrestling legends that have not officially retired from the WWE. According to the latest rumors, The Undertaker is still under a contract but he is telling the company's top officials that he is done with wrestling.
The Deadman last appeared on WWE television at WrestleMania 32 in April when he defeated Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell Match. It was one of the most entertaining bouts of the night that culminated with Shane-O-Mac's insane jump at the top of the cage.
At the end of the match, The Undertaker put his gloves on the center of the ring and many people believe that it was a sign of his official retirement. However, the WWE has not made announced it so he is still a member of the WWE roster.
According to Daily Wrestling News, the WWE contacted The Phenom before the WWE Draft and asked him if he is willing to be part of it. The Undertaker reportedly told the company that he does not want to be part of it and he is done with wrestling.
It is noted that the 51-year-old is still under a contract and the WWE could have easily made him eligible. But because there are no good storylines for The Undertaker at the moment, the WWE decided to just include him in the Top 10 Free Agents list.
There were several reports earlier this year saying that relationship between The Undertaker and Vince McMahon was deteriorating. Nevertheless, it has not been confirmed but the signs show that there might be some problems between both parties.
The Undertaker was schedule for the post-WrestleMania 32 tour of Europe but he was pulled out at the last minute. He was also rumored to be appearing at SummerSlam but he was not answering the WWE chairman's phone calls.
If The Undertaker truly is retired, it has been one hell of a career for him. However, there might be one more match for him and it could be the biggest one yet.
According to The Inquisitr, many fans believe that The Undertaker will only return for one more match and his opponent is John Cena. The original plan for WrestleMania 32 was a match between the two but Cena suffered a shoulder injury.
The report added that The Undertaker's WWE deal will expire next year and facing Cena on his retirement match at WrestleMania 33 seems to be the plan. Check out the video below to see The Undertaker confront Mr. McMahon in an episode of Monday Night Raw.
