The Undertaker has been announced as part of a new WWE event along with several other names. The Phenom has made quite a few appearances for the promotion since his retirement and currently has taken up a booking role in AAA Lucha Libre.
This year ‘Taker also appeared on WWE TV, revealing AJ Styles’ Hall of Fame induction after doing the same for Stephanie McMahon last year. Now, The Deadman has been announced for another special appearance.
Thanks for the submission!
Ahead of America’s 250th birthday, WWE is set to release a documentary on USA Network. The documentary called “WWE: Made in America” will air on May 29 immediately following the broadcast of SmackDown. Encore presentations will then air on the network throughout June and on July 4 in line with the patriotic spirit.
The special will be hosted by WWE commentator Joe Tessitore and will feature a tribute performance of “America the Beautiful” by Lilian Garcia from Nashville. The doc will include interviews from The Undertaker, Triple H, Cody Rhodes, Carmelo Hayes, Nattie, Je’Von Evans, and Matt Cardona.
It will also feature other legendary names such as Jimmy Hart, Booker T, Sgt. Slaughter, and Kane. WWE also posted this news on their official X handle, along with a trailer.
“Join WWE and @usanetwork on Friday, May 29th for WWE: Made in America, a special one-hour event as part of USA Network’s America 250 Celebration! Hosted by @JoeTessESPN and @RealJimmyHart , featuring exclusive interviews from @codyrhodes , @tripleh , @undertaker and MORE!”
The one-hour special will explore the evolution of WWE from a regional business to a global entertainment powerhouse. It will cover how the promotion has captured the American spirit across different eras and generations.
The Undertaker recently received an offer to come out of retirement
The Undertaker wrestled his last match in 2020, beating AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in a cinematic Boneyard Match. Two years later, his Hall of Fame induction followed.
Since then, he has appeared sporadically and even gotten physical in the ring but hasn’t competed in a match. However, Danhausen made him an offer earlier this month.
Ahead of Backlash, the Very Nice, Very Evil star needed a tag team partner for his match against The Miz and Kit Wilson. So he began his hunt by going on X and calling out a bunch of retired legends, offering them 400 human dollars to come out of retirement.
Apart from The Undertaker, names such as John Cena, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H were called out by Danhausen for help.
