Report: WWE Working to Find Ways to Use The Undertaker Following Retirement

WWE is reportedly hard at work in thinking of ways to utilize WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker.

According to PWInsider.com's Mike Johnson, WWE's desire to get the most out of The Undertaker stems from him being "far above and beyond everyone else" in the popularity level and demand from fans among retired Superstars.

Johnson added that WWE is "continuing to develop additional ideas" for The Undertaker as a means of satiating fan interest.

Now 57, The Undertaker announced his retirement from in-ring competition about two years ago after facing AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The official announcement was made as part of The Last Ride docuseries, which offered an in-depth look at the person behind The Undertaker for the first time in his career.

That has continued since then and was never more evident than during The Undertaker's lengthy and well-received Hall of Fame acceptance speech earlier this year.

Since The Undertaker character has largely taken a back seat to the actual person behind it in Mark Calaway, a world of possibilities has been opened for WWE.

One way the company has taken advantage is by booking The Undertaker for spoken-word shows in conjunction with WWE's biggest events.

The Undertaker did his "1 Deadman Show" as part of SummerSlam weekend in Nashville in July and is set to do a pair of shows this week in Cardiff, Wales, which is where WWE is holding Clash at the Castle.

On Wednesday, WWE announced a "1 Deadman Show" for Oct. 7 in Philadelphia, which is the site of the Extreme Rules premium live event.

The Undertaker divulged in 2020 that he signed a 15-year contract with WWE, which would keep him heavily involved with the company even in retirement.

Taker still has plenty to offer even with his in-ring career officially in the books, and WWE is doing all it can to get the most out of one of the most iconic characters and performers in the history of pro wrestling.
