In this episode of the WrestleTalk News, former WWE star Curt Hawkins is officially returning to Smackdown Live, and he appears to be WWE’s version of either Chuck Norris or The World’s Most Interesting Man. Plus, is Undertaker secretly preparing for a Summerslam return?!
Undertaker Returning For Summerslam?
Our top story is about yet another ex-WWE star returning for the brand split, but first – a worrying photo of The Undertaker has been doing the rounds online.
We haven’t seen Taker since Wrestlemania 32 back in April, where he defeated Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell to stop the boss’ son getting control of Raw.
That went well.
But last week Instagram user Lolla.Taker posted a photo showing the Deadman using a cane to stand up. You can check the photo out at this link.
That’s a ‘cane’ like a stick to support yourself. Not the demon half-brother, whose family house he once burned down.
This caused many to worry about Undertaker’s physical condition, but the guy who originally posted the picture explained the Demon cane.
“It’s not his. It’s my friend’s rattle snake cane. Taker was just checking it out, posing like Godfather.”
Ho-train aside, the plot thickens…
Last night’s Smackdown Live was in Austin, Texas – where Taker lives – and more Instagram photos have surfaced of the Deadman and Smackdown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon having a drink in a bar. You can check those out at this link.
Besides this being the coolest possible drinking buddies for a Tuesday night, the photo possibly reveals something much bigger. Undertaker has dyed his hair black, different from the grey in the Cane photo from just a few days before. Taker usually does this before he returns to the ring.
And Taker’s wife Michelle McCool posted a photo of Smackdown talent names with the caption #BlueBrand heart. This could be because McCool and her and Undertaker’s daughters attendedSmackdown last night…or it could be a tease for the Deadman showing up on WWE television soon.
It’s just a shame there aren’t any huge upcoming Summer-based wrestling pay per-views coming up this week to do it on…
