WWE itself has yet to make the announcement, but this seems to fit the current narrative surrounding the Undertaker’s 2018. By all indications, ‘Taker is taking one final lap on WWE‘s circuit. Rumors have him wrestling up five times this year, and the July 7 MSG event would make for number three.
We last saw him in Saudi Arabia when he dumped Rusev’s carcass in a casket. A few weeks before that at WrestleMania 34, The Undertaker disposed of John Cena in less than three minutes. While we wait for WWE to confirm his MSG appearance we can’t help but think that this leads to Taker’s final SummerSlam match.
UPDATE
WWE confirmed Undertaker’s MSG return Monday morning on Twitter:
