At the conclusion of his WWE Network series Undertaker: The Last Ride, The Undertaker announced he was retiring from in-ring competition, ending a career that had begun in 1987. The final episode of the series focused on his cinematic Boneyard match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, and The Undertaker explained it was what he was looking for with his final match.
However, Ric Flair, a man who knows about retiring following a legendary career, has told Inside The Ropes Magazine that he thinks The Undertaker will wrestle again and deserves to go out in front a huge crowd.
If things work out and the company elects to go to LA if that’s the plan now—which I’m pretty sure it is but that could have changed since I talked to them last—but if WrestleMania 37 is in Los Angeles and they put 80 or 90,000 in that facility, I think he deserves it. I thought the match was great with AJ, but I could see him and AJ going at it again inside the ring. And I’m sure AJ would jump off the top of a building to get back in the ring with him.Ric Flair
If the Undertaker returns, he won’t be the first wrestler to go back on a retirement announcement. Terry Funk, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Roddy Piper, and Ric Flair all famously did an about-turn based on either their desire to compete again or for monetary reasons. Given that The Undertaker didn’t get a proper sendoff, it’s unlikely wrestling fans would hold it against him if he did come back.
