WWE Deadman Stays Dead: Undertaker’s Final Bell
Remember when The Undertaker said, “Never say never” about returning to the ring? Well, it looks like we can finally say “never” to seeing The Phenom lace up his boots again. On his “Six Feet Under” podcast, The Undertaker laid his in-ring career to rest once and for all.
“In my mind’s eye, I could still go, but in my heart, I wanted to go, but I knew, like I was like, ‘I’m done, I’m out of gas,'” the WWE Hall of Famer confessed. It’s like watching your childhood superhero admit he can’t fly anymore – heartbreaking, but also kind of beautiful.
The Deadman also dropped a bombshell about his post-retirement plans. Coaching? Not his cup of tea. But don’t worry, fans – he’ll still be making those spine-chilling appearances that make us all believers in the power of the dark side.
AJ Styles: The Phenomenal Exit?
Hold onto your “P1” t-shirts, folks, because AJ Styles might be eyeing the exit sign. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, The Phenomenal One’s contract is nearing its expiration date, and the vultures are already circling.
“People in the convention scene, the merchandising scene—all that stuff—were definitely inquiring about the possibility of him being available soon,” Sapp reported. Is AEW licking its chops at the thought of snagging one of WWE’s most consistent performers?
But before we start fantasy booking AJ vs. Kenny Omega, let’s pump the brakes. Styles is still showing up on RAW every week, looking as phenomenal as ever. Would WWE keep him on TV if he had one foot out the door? It’s about as likely as Vince McMahon growing his hair out.
Brock Lesnar: The Beast in Limbo
Speaking of absent superstars, let’s talk about the elephant (or should we say, Beast Incarnate) in the room – Brock Lesnar. With his name popping up in some not-so-flattering legal documents, Lesnar’s WWE future is looking shakier than a Jenga tower in an earthquake.
Former WCW champ Vince Russo weighed in on the situation, basically saying WWE doesn’t need Lesnar right now because they’re “making money hand over fist.” It’s like saying you don’t need a flamethrower because your matches are working just fine – true, but come on, it’s a flamethrower!
Drew McIntyre’s Chamber of Horrors
Lastly, let’s talk about Drew McIntyre, who’s been sharpening his claymore for John Cena. The Scottish Warrior took to Instagram with a message that would make even the bravest superstar think twice about stepping in the Elimination Chamber:
“This time last year, just over a year ago, my path to WrestleMania was even more unclear than it is right now, and look what happened. It starts all again this Saturday. And in Toronto, I’m going to make sure that you’re kept safe John [Cena] inside that Chamber, until it’s my time to bury you.”
Ouch! Looks like Drew’s been taking promo lessons from The Undertaker himself. With Cena, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Logan Paul, and Damian Priest also in the mix, this Chamber match is shaping up to be more stacked than a Jenga tower… before Drew McIntyre knocks it down, that is.
What’s Next in the WWE Universe?
As we hurtle towards WrestleMania season, the WWE landscape is shifting faster than Big Show’s allegiances. Will AJ Styles re-sign or seek new phenomenal frontiers? Can John Cena survive Drew McIntyre’s Scottish fury in the Elimination Chamber? And will we ever see Brock Lesnar F-5 someone through a table again?
One thing’s for sure – in the world of WWE, the only constant is change. And maybe John Cena’s “You Can’t See Me” hand wave. That’s pretty constant too.
Stay tuned, WWE Universe. The road to WrestleMania is always bumpy, but this year, it’s looking more like a rollercoaster designed by Vince McMahon himself. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
The Rock’s Surprise Intervention: A Chaotic Night of Unexpected Twists on WWE SmackDown
FAQs
Q1: Is there any chance The Undertaker will come out of retirement for one last match?
As much as we’d love to see The Deadman rise again, it seems The Undertaker has well and truly hung up his hat (and coat, and boots). He’s been pretty clear that his body just can’t keep up with his mind’s desire to compete. However, never say never in WWE – remember when Shawn Michaels said he’d never wrestle again? That lasted until Saudi Arabia waved a big enough check. For now, though, it looks like The Undertaker’s in-ring career is as dead as his gimmick.
Q2: With all the rumors swirling, what are the chances AJ Styles actually leaves WWE?
While the rumor mill is working overtime on this one, it’s important to remember that in WWE, everything’s a work until it’s a shoot. AJ Styles is still prominently featured on RAW, which is usually a good sign that WWE values him. However, the wrestling landscape has changed dramatically since AJ first signed with WWE. With AEW providing a viable alternative and Japan always being an option, it’s not impossible that The Phenomenal One might want one last run elsewhere before hanging up his boots. That said, WWE has been his home for a long time, and at 47, stability might be more appealing than a new adventure. Only time (and maybe a surprise Royal Rumble appearance) will tell!
