The Undertaker’s big 2018 is rolling on with yet another announced appearance in WWE later this summer.
After showing up unexpectedly (even though it was totally anticipated) at WrestleMania 34 to beat John Cena in under three minutes, ‘Taker had a graphic novel introduced telling the fictional story of his 27-year career before showing up at the Greatest Royal Rumble to bury Rusev softly.
While no announcement has been made as to what his appearance will include, it’s fair to assume a match is on the way for WWE’s house show in Madison Square Garden on Saturday, July 7.

After the Undertaker’s reported hip surgery in 2016, the Deadman’s presence in WWE had been limited. He wrestled just once that year (against Shane McMahon) before taking part in the Royal Rumble and wrestling at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns in 2017.
That led to his ultimately underwhelming return at Monday Night Raw’s 25th anniversary before the strange buildup to his WrestleMania win over Cena. If he wrestles at the MSG house show, he’ll have matched his total matches in 2016 and 2017 combined.
Even if Undertaker’s house show appearance is a one-off, the options for his next opponent are endless with one of the most stacked rosters in recent memory.
