At WrestleMania XXX, now-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar conquered the iconic streak of The Undertaker, becoming the “one” in 21-1. Since that day, “The Deadman” hasn’t been seen on WWE television, and has primarily been mentioned only by Paul Heyman.
However, on Tuesday, real-life wife and former WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool posted a recent picture of the former champion, showing him in a more subtle state.
The last thing heard from Undertaker had been his ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video, which was done in complete darkness, presumably to preserve kayfabe. He rarely breaks character, and this seemed to be another instance.
In the new picture, he continues to sport grey-to-white facial hair, with seemingly none on his head.
The 49-year-old’s wrestling future has been left in abeyance over the past several months, with the only notion towards his career being made by John Cena this past week on “Monday Night Raw,” where he insinuated it is unlikely for him to ever return.
Editor’s Note
That doesn’t look like a man ready to step into the ring again. I am ready to see him ride into the sunset as a Hall of Famer and let it be. Kudos, Taker.
