WWE Leak New Details On The Undertaker's 'Last Ride' Return

Animation? Emmy-nominated narrators? The 'Plane Ride From Hell'?

A bonus sixth episode of the fantastic 'Last Ride' documentary series is set to hit WWE Network shortly after Extreme Rules ends on 19 July, but what is it all about? Also, why is it even happening?

WWE leaked fresh details on the latest chapter via an emailed press release, and it all sounds pretty out there.

Emmy-nominated actor and producer Timothy Olyphant will be in the house to narrate the episode, and it appears some stories will be told in animated form. That cartoony flavour will be spliced with live action footage from the 'Taker archives to help keep things moving (and avoid this becoming Camp WWE).

WWE's official press release says, "Get ready for some incredible behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the man himself, as Undertaker recalls stories about the origins of his character, his experience on an infamous plane ride, and even that time he fought The Godfather over a hat".

A hat.

More 'Last Ride' could never be a bad thing, but viewers shouldn't think of this as a full follow-up to the series' stunning retirement conclusion. It appears to be a collection of old anecdotes that were left on the cutting room floor instead.
