The Undertaker's recent bout with Dean Ambrose on SmackDown
has been confirmed as his last appearance on television for the time
being. But the beating he received at the hands of The Shield has left
the door open for his eventual return.
According to PWInsider (h/t Lordsofpain.net),
Undertaker is not scheduled for any more television time after his
confrontation with Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. But the good
news is that Undertaker appears to be in better shape following his
recent matches than he has been in the past few years. The article
states:The recent Dean Ambrose vs. The Undertaker match on SmackDown is confirmed to be Taker's last scheduled appearance for the time being. WWE left it open to where Taker could come back and confront The Shield later.This is excellent news for fans of The Deadman.
The Undertaker came out of these recent matches in much better shape than he has in the past few years. Going into WrestleMania 29, Taker rested more, changed his diet and tried new workout routines.
Taker also worked a smarter match with CM Punk. It's said that he had the mindset of his matches with Triple H were going to be some of his last but going into the Punk match, he just wanted to give the fans a good match but not destroy himself.
Over the past several years, Undertaker has only been wrestling once a year at WrestleMania. While this has created an even bigger mystic around the Phenom, and made his matches more of a must-see, it has also created the impression he was on his last leg as a performer.
