Bengaluru, January 23: Earlier reports hinted that The Undertaker will make his return to in-ring competition at the next Saudi Arabia pay-per-view which was set to take place on February 20 but now it has been pushed back for a week.
No info about who the Deadman's opponent will be at the event is available right now. But his presence itself is pleasant news for the Saudi fans who were disappointed with his absence the last time around.
The flip side to this is a negative news for the hardcore fans though as The Undertaker is nowhere to be found in WWE's WrestleMania plans. As per a report from wwfoldschool.com, this will be the second year in a row that the greatest performer in the history of the 'show of shows' won't step his foot into the 'holy ground'.
However, this is not an unpredictable scenario as WWE officials believe that The Undertaker is no longer needed at WrestleMania as the card would be star-studded anyway. Instead, his limited appearances could be saved for future Saudi Arabia dates as he is contractually obligated to perform there. So, we expect him to be back on board soon after Royal Rumble passes by or at the event itself.
WOW! Thanks for all the love & support from around the world.
