Undertaker to Return Tonight?

Rumors and speculation regarding the return of the Undertaker have been running wild for months. The latest news is that The Deadman has been spotted in Nashville, TN, which just happens to be the location of tonight’s highly anticipated episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

Before we get too excited about seeing the return of the Phenom tonight at 8/7c, the most likely possibility is that the Undertaker is meeting with WWE officials to set final WrestleMania plans in place, just six days before the company’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. With ‘Taker’s health in question – as reported by his long-time manager and friend, Paul Bearer – the result of this weekend’s WWE Championship match between CM Punk and the Rock may be in question. Punk is the forerunner in a list of talents the Undertaker is expected to face this April, and with tonight’s Raw being the final episode before the go-home PPV, this may be the last chance for him to meet with officials – chiefly Vince and Stephanie McMahon, as well as Triple H.

It is unlikely WWE would bring back the Undertaker to television one week before a PPV where he is not expected to be involved. However, there is always the secondary, much less likely possibility that he could be brought in to feud with Brock Lesnar, who made his return last week to deliver a devastating F5 to WWE CEO and Chairman, Vince McMahon.

Monday Night Raw is live on the USA Network at 8/7c tonight, and we will update the situation surrounding the Undertaker accordingly.
