The Undertaker made a dramatic return to WWE to take out TNA World Champion Trick Williams on NXT.
The Deadman delivered a Chokeslam to Williams after weeks of back-and-forth jabs at each other on social media.
“You want to dance with the devil, I can flip that switch real quick,” said Taker on WWE NXT, as he seemingly teased one more match with the TNA World Champion.
This is what The Undertaker has previously said about returning to the ring and dealing with retirement amid speculation he could be set for another match.
The Undertaker said wrestling is still in his heart and brain
The Deadman retired in 2020 after his Boneyard Match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, but he’s often opened up about struggling to adapt to retirement.
“I’ve got to the point now where if I’m home, I’m fine,” said The Deadman in a 2023 interview with The Independent.
However, the star has revealed he still gets the itch to return to the ring when he attends WWE shows. “I get that ‘I should be getting ready’ feeling,” said Taker.
“At WrestleMania 39, I was there and I had my family and friends up in a suite watching the show and I kind of found myself rocking in my chair like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I should be down there’,” added The Pheno
“So in those instances, it’s there,” revealed The Deadman. “It’s still in my heart and it’s in my brain.”
The Undertaker was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022 and has made several appearances in the company since retirement, most notably taking out The Rock at WrestleMania 40.
The Undertaker already had the perfect WWE swansong
The Deadman returning to the ring one final time would ultimately be a mistake because the star already had a fitting ending.
His Boneyard Match with Styles provided the perfect goodbye to The Undertaker character and allowed The Deadman to go out with an acclaimed match.
“I got to tie myself, the old school Undertaker, the American badass, everything got tied together for that match,” on his podcast Six Feet Under.
Should The Undertaker return for a match with Williams, it’s very unlikely that it will reach the heights of that Boneyard Match.
