1) The Undertaker’s Retirement
According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, The Undertaker’s retirement is being kept a big secret in WWE. Here is an excerpt from the report:
I was told that everyone on the writing staff is being kept in the dark on Taker’s in-ring status, specifically because they don’t want leaks to get out.
“Whatever he is going to say will not be spoiled on the internet,” a WWE source said. “None of us know if he’s done. Other than his wife, I think the only person who would know would be Vince.”
There is some speculation that the final episode of ‘The Last Ride’ will provide us with the answer about The Undertaker’s retirement plans. Here is what ‘Taker said when asked by Ariel Helwani if the final episode of the series will include a retirement announcement:
“Hey I love you brother, but I can’t give you that before episode two comes out…I’ve been retiring, personally, here when I’m at home, for at least six years. Every year I’ll come back and I’m all beat up and everything hurts the next day, and I’m like, ‘Man that’s it.’ And all I get from [Michelle McCool] is a big eye roll and she goes, ‘Until April comes around.’ She’s been pretty accurate so far.
I learned you never say never, but it’s very obvious that I have far more matches behind me than I do in front of me. Nobody beats father time.”
My Take:
- My guess is that ‘Taker is going to announce that his official retirement will be at Survivor Series. This will mark 30 years since his WWE debut in 1990 at Survivor Series and would be a perfect way for him to end things.
