The Undertaker is scheduled to appear on SmackDown Live next week owing to the fact that it's returning to Madison Square Garden. Obviously, the decision to bring him in was made to boost ticket sales, similar to the reason why 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin will be appearing on RAW one night prior.

There were some rumours earlier that The Undertaker's appearance at MSG might lead to a match of sorts, perhaps a tag team one. Fans were happy to hear this because he had his best match in 4 years this past July at Extreme Rules. The simple reason for it was that he teamed with Roman Reigns and The Big Dog was able to do a bit of the heavy lifting for the team.

Drew McIntyre's presence helped as well and it showed that The Undertaker can still have a fun match if he's in a tag team or multi-person match.

Unfortunately, The Phenom won't be wrestling at MSG this coming Tuesday, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. We hope this isn't true because The Undertaker being featured in a nice fun tag team match is the best use of him rather than having him face old legends who are past their prime.
