This coming episode of SmackDown is being touted to be a Super SmackDown episode that could witness The Undertaker. The Show scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden on September 10th already has a lot on the card. The following for this episode has already been confirmed:
– Brock Lesnar will make his return to SmackDown since the fall of 2019
– Edge vs. Seth Rollins II
– Extreme Rules contract signing between SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women’s Title Match
Now it appears that The Undertaker could make an appearance from The World’s Most Famous Arena as per the latest updates. Planeta Wrestling reported that WWE will have a tribute segment for the victims of the 9/11 attacks, as Super Smackdown takes place just a day before the 20th anniversary of that infamous day.

The source added that The Undertaker will also be a part of this broadcast which could mean that he will be appearing via a pre-recorded video segment instead of making a live appearance on the episode. However, they went on to delete their report, and hence as of this writing, nothing is confirmed.
The Undertaker announced retirement, last year
The Undertaker was last seen on WWE programming at Survivor Series 2020, where he officially declared his retirement from in-ring competition. Some of the fans weren’t that happy about this virtual ceremony for a superstar of such high caliber. But the Deadman seems to be contended having performed in his final match in the WWE which was against AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 36. (Boneyard match)
The Undertaker retired with his Wrestlemania record being 24-2. Originally, he wanted this streak to be something different which may not have a loss on it. The Undertaker was a guest on the Pardon My Take podcast, last year where he revealed that he wanted to keep his ‘Mania winning streak intact,
“Yeah, on a personal level, of course. Selfishly, would I have liked to have gone 25, 26-0? Of course. I mean, that would probably have been the greatest record in all of wrestling.
But, business is business, and sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. The most important thing, after that one, afterwards, I mean, I was concussed. So, I didn’t even remember it. I was more concerned afterwards about my head to stop hurting and being able to come out of the dark for a couple weeks.”
