I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Taker interferes in John Cena/CM Punk's match costing Punk's chance at a title match with The Rock, sitting up the Taker/Punk match at Mania....

Yeah, pretty much what I was thinking...

As noted earlier, The Undertaker returned to action at last night's WWE live event in Waco, Texas. Undertaker teamed with Sheamus to defeat Damien Sandow and Wade Barrett.

While many see the appearance as confirmation that Undertaker will be competing at WrestleMania, that is not necessarily the case. A WWE source told me that he believes that Undertaker was "testing the waters" to see if he could actually work a quality match at WrestleMania. I haven't heard any word yet on what the consensus was following the match, but the source said that he expects Undertaker to work the event.

PWInsider reported last October that the hip replacement Undertaker had done several years ago was badly damaged during his match with Triple H at last year's WrestleMania. He was so beat up last fall that he stopped seeing specialists in New York, and WWE flew doctors to his home in Texas. The Wrestling Observer reported that Undertaker had major shoulder and hip surgery over the past year, which made it impossible for him to do any serious training for some time. He reportedly couldn't work his upper body because of shoulder rehab, and couldn't do any lower body because of the hip rehab.

The Wrestling Observer also recently reported that Undertaker didn't want to return and have a mediocre match, and only wanted to come back if he could give a good performance.


I personally wouldn't be surprised to see Undertaker work more live events to get back into ring shape if he does end up competing at WrestleMania.

We’ve got an exclusive update regarding the Undertaker’s surprise return to the ring at Saturday night’s WWE live event from Waco, Texas.

The reason why Undertaker returned at a house show instead of a surprise on RAW is because he, Vince McMahon and Triple H all wanted to see how his shoulder held up during a light match before he officially committed to WrestleMania. Some people instantly assumed that his appearance guaranteed that “he’s back” and will be working WrestleMania, however the Dead Man’s WretleMania status was still up in the air prior to the match. The Undertaker has had a number of surgeries in the past year, but his shoulder is still giving him a lot of problems.


A source on the writing team told us that Taker’s return was kept very quiet and only a handful of people within WWE even knew about it. When the match was over and Taker was happy with his own performance, WWE decided to go public with the story.


Aside from the fact that that he looked a bit out of shape,fans were chanting “this is awesome” and “you still got it” during the match.


Our source tells us Undertaker will be wrestling at WrestleMania.

I guess we'll find out tonight..

[Strikeout King]

Triple H returning was the very first thing on Raw..

Ryback destroyed Ziggler

CM Punk came out and said that tonight was about him and that he was immortal and he was god.


If Taker doesn't interfere in tonight's Cena/Punk match, look for the title match at WM be a triple threat between Punk/Cena/Rock

WWE just showed the video of The Undertaker returning this past Saturday...Cole and King were talking about rumors going around each year concerning the deadman and if he will wrestle at Mania.....Does this tell anyone anything about tonight?

[Strikeout King]

Well Folks, The Deadman did NOT return to Monday Night Raw...So It's not looking good for his Wrestlemania Appearance

[Mr. Pike Central]

He's coming back...just delaying it another week.

Following his surprise return at Saturday night’s WWE live event from Waco, Texas, The Undertaker’s television return is imminent and could take place as soon as Monday’s “Old School” RAW.


The long-rumored Undertaker vs. CM Punk match at WrestleMania will in fact be taking place – and now WWE’s creative team is rushing to fast-track the feud with just over 5 weeks until the pay-per-view. WWE already got the ball rolling on Monday’s RAW, when CM Punk cut a promo talking about being a wrestling icon above all other Superstars and God.


One big issue with Punk’s match against The Undertaker is that he’s now lost 3 high profile matches – against The Rock at the Royal Rumble & Elimination Chamber and against John Cena on Monday’s RAW. Punk remains one of WWE’s top draws, but there is concern that another big loss could affect his perception with fans.
