Is The Undertaker Planning To Wrestle After WWE WrestleMania 32?

By John Canton / September 10, 2015

The Undertaker may not be retiring at WrestleMania 32 in Arlington, Texas after all. Most people assumed that he would have his last match at that huge show in his home state, but the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that there's a thought within WWE that he can wrestle past next year's WrestleMania. It was also mentioned by WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross in a recent blog that he doesn't believe The Undertaker will be done at WrestleMania. Ross is close friends with The Undertaker, so maybe he got the info from Taker directly or he's just speculating on what he has heard. The feeling is that since Undertaker had a good match at SummerSlam with Brock Lesnar that was competitive and believable, perhaps he's more willing to wrestle longer. His next matches are set for an October tour in Mexico and he's supposed to work three nights in a row. He obviously believes he can still perform at a high level or he wouldn't be working those shows.

It was noted in the Observer by Dave Meltzer that the belief in 2014 was that Undertaker might retire, which is part of the reason why Vince McMahon had Brock Lesnar beat him. There were even wrestlers in 1997 telling Meltzer that they thought Undertaker had only a few years of wrestling left just because of all the injuries he had. The rumour is that if Undertaker does compete at next year's WrestleMania then it will likely be one final showdown against Lesnar. It's amazing how long The Undertaker has wrestled and at age 50, he still might have a few more years left.
