From a kayfabe point of view, AJ Styles taking a shot at Undertaker's wife Michelle McCool is the last thing a WWE Superstar should do. It's rare to see the mythical Undertaker get humanized on TV but that's the direction WWE seems to be heading in and it has kickstarted speculation possibly seeing Mark Calaway, the man behind the gimmick, on our TV screens.

Will the WWE allow The Undertaker top drop his gimmick though? The answer is a straightforward no.

Tom Colohue explained on the latest Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that The Undertaker's name is a goldmine from a branding standpoint for the company and they will never let him drop the gimmick.

Absolutely not. It's all branding at this point. The Undertaker is an icon. Mark Callaway is just a guy. They will never let that go. And even if you have subtle character changes, which does seem to be what they are leaning towards, even if you have Michelle McCool accompanying him, you could do pretty much anything. They will never drop the Undertaker name because the name alone makes them money.

You may be wondering, what about the American Badass gimmick? Well, there are no hints about the gimmick making a return but it's possibility that many fans would like to see. Are you one of those fans?
