Undertaker open to future WWE cameos, not coming out of retirement

Though he’s retired from in-ring competition, The Undertaker would be open to making future WWE appearances like the one he made at WrestleMania 40.

Undertaker got involved in the night two main event at WrestleMania this April, helping Cody Rhodes fend off interference by The Bloodline. He laid out The Rock with a chokeslam, which paved the way for Rhodes to defeat Roman Reigns and win the Undisputed WWE Championship.

During an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Undertaker was asked if the WrestleMania cameo made him feel like he could wrestle again. Undertaker maintained that he’s retired and will never have another match. But, if WWE needed him to make another cameo, he’s not ruling that out.

“Yeah, I could do it. I couldn’t do it to the standard that I wanted to do it,” he said about wrestling. “But, I mean, yeah, there’s certain things that I don’t feel like I would be able to do. After I did it [the WrestleMania 40 appearance], I came back and I was like, ‘I’m good now. I don’t need to do this again.’ Not saying that I wouldn’t — if they needed something like that again — but I’m not going to have a match or I’m not coming out of retirement.”

The last match of Undertaker’s career took place at WrestleMania 36, where he defeated AJ Styles in a cinematic Boneyard Match. He struggled to come to terms with retirement in the following years, but the WrestleMania 40 appearance helped give him the closure he’s been looking for.

Since retiring, Undertaker has started his own podcast. He’s also toured a one-man show with performances both in the United States and internationally.

Undertaker was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022.
