10 WWE Returns That Must Happen In 2024

The Undertaker will never quite let his career rest in peace.

2020's Boneyard Match was a tremendous sendoff, and in spite of the pandemic's restrictions cursing much of WrestleMania 36, 'The Deadman' at long last had the 'Show Of Shows' showstealer he'd been chasing since CM Punk gave him his last one in 2013.

A Survivor Series 2020 retirement looked like an excuse to gather some old mates together than celebrate a legacy, and since then his appearances in front of the live crowd have been under the 'American Bad Ass' guise rather than the traditional act that saluted a hologram of Paul Bearer.

Riding his bike down the aisle at WrestleMania never feels out of the question, and shouldn't - he did just that in the Performance Center of all places when NXT was up against AEW in a rare ratings war in October 2023. He endorsed Carmelo Hayes that night - who else could he prove himself 'Him' against from the current crop should he wish to go "old school" one more time?
