WWE May Have Spoiled Its Next Hall of Fame Headliner In An E-mail

Following more than 25 years of dominating the squared circle, The Undertaker may finally be preparing to take his rightful place in the WWE’s Hall of Fame class of 2019. The move has been rumored for months now, but as of this writing, the Deadman is in fact not a Hall of Famer. And that’s why WWE’s latest email is raising plenty of eyebrows.

In an apparent note hyping the addition of Superstars to its Network catalog, ‘Taker is listed as a Hall of Famer alongside Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair.

“Enjoy 25 newly added hours of Superstars, WWE’s flagship program before the dawning of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Witness WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and more!”

While it’s certainly possible the network had a slight typo in the final copy, WWE adding The Undertaker to its Hall of Fame class, and possibly ending his in-ring career isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

It certainly seemed like The Undertaker was retiring at WrestleMania 33 in 2016, when he left his hat, coat and gloves in the ring after a loss to Roman Reigns. His reappearance at Raw 25 was even more bizarre before ultimately facing off against John Cena at WrestleMania 34, without appearing on TV in the buildup to that match.

He’s wrestled a handful of times in 2018, but the apparent plan the entire time has been for the Undertaker to retire at WrestleMania and go into the Hall two nights before the big event.
