Backstage update on The Undertaker's WWE status - Reports
The Undertaker retired from the in-ring competition after wrestling AJ Styles in a cinematic Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36, and WWE wasted no time in inducting the legendary superstar into the Hall of Fame the following year.
On the 30th Anniversary special edition of WWE RAW, The Undertaker appeared as his "American Badass" persona in a segment with LA Knight and Bray Wyatt.
Ringside News has now reported that the company has no plans to bring back The Undertaker for any future wrestling matches or storylines. "The Deadman" character itself will not be resurrected ever again, according to the legend himself.

Towards the end of his career in his 50s with the "Last Outlaw" persona, Taker was unable to deliver the high-quality matches people knew him for. Despite this, fans would love to see him step into the ring.
However, after spending over 30 years with the global juggernaut company as its most loyal star, The Undertaker has no intention of returning to the ring.
Former WWE Champion wants to wrestle The Undertaker in a cinematic match
Drew McIntyre recently revealed in an interview with Inside The Ropes that he has been rallying for The Deadman to return to the squared circle for one last match.
The legend has always been a mentor to The Scotsman, even before he rose to superstardom. McIntyre wound up calling out The Phenom:
"Come on mate [The Undertaker], you can do it, we’ll do one of these cinematic matches if you want, but I know you could do it if you wanted to," said McIntyre.
