10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 1)

1. The Undertaker Worked Out In-Ring Before SummerSlam

The Undertaker WrestleMania 33 Bye Bye

The PWInsider reported this week that The Undertaker worked out in a WWE ring for the first time since WrestleMania 33 at SummerSlam. Hours before the show went live, the legend ran the ropes and worked a few sequences. Presumably, this is because he's gearing up for an in-ring return.

Up until now, it looked like Undertaker's loss to Roman Reigns at 'Mania would bring the curtain down on his WWE career. Could 'Taker be readying himself for a huge comeback? Stranger things have happened, and there has to be a reason why he even bothered showing up for a workout before SummerSlam.

Watch the No Mercy vignettes and a familiar gong sound plays near the end. John Cena had also fired a shot at Undertaker during his shoot-style promo with Reigns on Raw recently by questioning the icon's health. Are WWE about to pull the trigger on a Cena vs. Undertaker match?

It also seems too coincidental that Cena would disrespect someone like 'Taker without any pay off.
