10 Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam 2016 Rumors You Need To Know
8. The Undertaker Returns
One rumor that's popped up over the past few days and gained a lot of traction involves The Undertaker showing up at SummerSlam, presumably to start a build for a major match at WrestleMania 33.
The Undertaker's last appearance in WWE came at WrestleMania 32 when he defeated Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell bout. Despite the fact that Undertaker's win guaranteed he could continue to compete at WrestleMania, he took off his gloves in the ring, a sign that he was retiring. 'Taker reportedly confirmed his intention to friends and family after the show, then cancelled a string of appearances on WWE's upcoming European tour.
We all expect that Undertaker will be back for at least one more match - the Shane bout wasn't special enough to serve as his swan song, and the fact that he was originally scheduled to face John Cena at the show (Cena missed working the event after a shoulder injury) has led many to assume that those two men will fight eventually. Still, there's nothing concrete suggesting Undertaker will actually be there - no reputable source has confirmed it. For that reason, an appearance by The Phenom looks unlikely.
