While he still may indeed have one more match, his appearance at a WWE affiliated event to support his friend is hardly the smoking gun to his return.
However, despite the apparent finality of his retirement at WrestleMania 32, Jim Ross thinks that Taker’s career isn’t finished until the Deadman himself says so:
“Until he says he’s done he’s not done. I think Vince McMahon is a marketing genius. He’s not going to miss any opportunity to monetize and maximize this amazing investment in this legacy of The Undertaker. Until The Undertaker says he’s done and it’s validated by the company and is signed off in that essence, for lack of a better term, I still say Undertaker is active and could return and wrestle at any time,” said Ross in a recent interview with Wrestlezone.
