What’s the story?
Former WWE Superstar Sean Waltman (a.k.a X-Pac) took to the latest episode of his podcast, X-Pac 12360, to note that he doesn’t believe The Undertaker is done with his in-ring career.
After having a conversation with ‘The Deadman’ backstage at last week’s 2017 Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, the former WWE Tag Team Champion said that he believes that ‘Taker is still coming back.
In case you didn’t know...
The Undertaker took on Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 33 this past weekend, where ‘The Guy’ picked up the biggest win of his career after nailing ‘Taker with a vicious spear.
‘Taker has now lost only twice in his WrestleMania career (the first coming against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30), as he once had a win streak of 21 at the ‘Show Of Shows.’
The heart of the matter
Here’s what X-Pac had to say about why he doesn’t think that The Undertaker is retiring from in-ring competition:
“It never even occurred to me as we were talking (Backstage at the Hall of Fame) and I still don’t think it. I still think he’s coming back. I’m sticking by that… He’s going to go in, he’s going to have that surgery (Hip replacement) and he’s going to feel good and he’s going to go, one, two, (Kick out of pin motion) not today!”
What’s next?
The Undertaker has looked very stiff in his last few WrestleMania matches, and his best days inside of the squared circle are certainly behind him. His match with Roman Reigns wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t ‘Taker’s best showing either.
Given the reception from the crowd and his actions after the match, it’s safe to assume that we’ve seen ‘The Deadman’ wrestle his last match of his career.
Author’s take
It seems very obvious that we have seek the end of The Undertaker’s career, but as X-Pac stated, he got the opportunity to speak to him backstage at the Hall Of Fame ceremony before Wrestlemania. Is it possible that the former D-Generation X and NWO member knows something that we don’t?
