The Undertaker has been part of the WWE for more than 25 years but it has been speculated for several months that his career is over. However, The Big Show believes that The Undertaker has not retired and he thinks he will wrestle more matches.
In a recent interview with Digital Spy, The Big Show was asked about the rumors regarding The Undertaker. It was reported by several outlets after WrestleMania 32 that The Deadman told people backstage that his match against Shane McMahon was his swan song.
"I don't think Taker's story is done. Taker's one of those amazing, iconic characters that has built WWE and stood by WWE through thick and thin times. He's one of the guys that never jumped ship back in the day," The Big Show said.
"I think as long as Taker feels healthy enough and feels good enough to go out there he will. And I'm okay with seeing Taker on special events because Taker is the ultimate attraction," he added.
Many fans were worried that they might never see The Undertaker wrestle again when photos of him using crutches to walk surfaced online earlier this month. It was confirmed that he underwent hip surgery and there is a possibility that he might be done.
The Undertaker was last seen publicly at the home opener of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He took photos with NBA stars such as LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. The Phenom was influential for the Cavs during their comeback in last season's NBA Finals.

On the other hand, there are other fans that believe The Undertaker underwent surgery to be ready for WrestleMania 33. A typical hip surgery heals after three to six months which means he will be cleared around March next year.
Some of the rumored superstars that could face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 next year in Orlando include John Cena, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Sting and Bill Goldberg. According to Forbes, the WWE is "pushing hard" to sign Goldberg for a WrestleMania match against The Undertaker.
The former WCW World Champion is currently signed for only one match against Brock Lesnar at the Survivor Series. However, his new deal with the WWE depends on the reception he will get at the November 20 event in Toronto.
Nevertheless, these are just rumors at the moment and should be taken with a grain of salt. WrestleMania 33 is still several months away and The Undertaker has more time to heal and recover before wrestling what could be his official final match of his career.
