WWE News: Possible Reason Why the Undertaker was in New York During Summerslam 1

Before the Summerslam PPV, it was reported by some of the major sources which hinted that The Undertaker might make his return to the WWE at the biggest event of the summer. The rumours of the same fuelled up after The Phenome was spotted boarding a plane heading to the New York City from his home state of Texas.

The speculation of The Deadman returning for one last match was there in the rumour mill for quite sometimes now. Once that picture went viral, the pro-wrestling fans marked out considering the possibility of him interfering the fatal-4-way Universal Championship match to cost Roman Reigns the title.

Ever since the match between Reigns and Undertaker took place at this year’s Wrestlemania, the fans did give any update from the WWE about the latter one retiring for good. So, every time, a scenario occurs, they keep on anticipate about the Deadman rising, once again.

However, the much-anticipated return did not happen despite the fans chanting his name at Summerslam and the following night on Raw. But, it was confirmed later that the Undertaker present in the same city where the biggest PPV of the summer took place. So, they fans could not help but wonder as of why he was around, there.

WWE Hall of Famer and veteran commentator, Jerry Lawler was able to drop some hints of the matter in his podcast, “Dinner with The King”. He stated that The Phenome was most probably called for a gaming scan that will be released, next year or so. Each of the WWE roster members did the same during the Summerslam weekend, and taker also did take part in it.

Here are Jerry’s comments which will help to understand the scenario better,

“I did not see or hear him mentioned at all [backstage at SummerSlam]. I dress in the talent relations room where at one point or another everybody on the card came through that room and I never saw him. But you know what? Here’s something that I just realized.

He may have been there because they were doing scans for a new game. Everybody that was on the show that night, myself included, had to be scanned. This company, it’s not the 2K people, it’s a different game that’s gonna be coming out next year. So everybody had to have their face scans and their body scans”.

Undertaker’s wife Michelle McCool attended the Summerslam event. She was spotted hanging around at the backstage area and also congratulated her former buddy, Natalya for winning the Smackdown Women’s Championship.
