The Undertaker may have stepped away from the ring at WrestleMania 36, but his journey with WWE is far from over. The former WWE Champion could return to the company soon.
The legendary Deadman is reportedly eyeing a new role—this time behind the curtain—as part of WWE’s creative team.
During a recent episode of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, wrestling veteran Konnan revealed that he had a conversation with The Undertaker at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event.
According to Konnan, the Phenom expressed serious interest in becoming a contributor to WWE’s creative process:
“Undertaker wants to get into creative. He likes it a lot,” Konnan said. “He was in creative at Money in the Bank. He was at Worlds Collide too. He’s very interested in being part of the creative team.”
While The Hall of Famer has not confirmed this himself, the move would make sense. Since retiring from active competition, he has remained closely tied to the company in various ways.
He serves as one of the four judges on the company’s hit reality series WWE LFG, offering guidance to the next generation of superstars. However, The Undertaker could make an official return to WWE as part of the creative team.
More importantly, The Undertaker brings with him a wealth of in-ring experience, intricate storytelling knowledge, and a deep-rooted connection with WWE’s history and audience. His mastery of character development, psychological pacing, and dramatic storytelling could breathe new life into the creative process.
Fans and insiders alike have often noted the lack of long-term narrative structure in modern WWE.
With a mind like The Undertaker’s involved, those elements could make a powerful return. His potential addition to the creative team may help bridge the gap between the company’s storied past and its evolving future.
Whether WWE officially offers him the position remains uncertain. But if The Deadman walks through the doors of WWE creative, it could mark a monumental shift, not just for the company, but for the storytelling soul of professional wrestling itself.
