Dead Man returns: WWE legend The Undertaker will be back on Smackdown

He might be 51 but WWE legend Undertaker might be returning to the ring. The wrestler will return to the WWE ring on November 15 episode of Smackdown live. The announcement was made at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wikes-Barre, Pennsylvania over Twitter. That he is coming five days before Survivor Series suggests that the Dead Man Walking will be part of that mega-event as well. In fact, it was in Survivor Series 25 years ago when Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan to win his first championship which would start him on his epic journey in professional wrestling.  

The news came as a surprise because he was recently spotted walking around on crutches after undergoing hip surgery and it’s not known whether he will be back on the main roster. Undertaker has always been an important part of Smackdown.

The WWE website said: “This marks The Undertaker’s first appearance in a WWE ring since he defeated SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania 32."
