WWE has always been the only source to see the who’s who of the wrestling stars. The company would have hosted exclusive signings or fests to let the fans meet their favorite superstars. But days have changed where fans don’t have to put extra efforts to reach the big names. Social media is there to reach them all the times.

Plus, superstars come out of their kayfabe world to attend some of the outside festivities and meet the fans. Even a mythical character like The Undertaker is putting an end to his Deadman persona. He has recently joined the world of Twitter. Plus, for quite sometimes he is making an appearance in his original persona.
The Undertaker to take retirement in 2019
In a rare appearance, The Undertaker attended the SHOT show in Las Vegas. He was in his in his own identity Mark Calaway rather than portraying an in-ring character. Impact Wrestling stars Eli Drake and Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie were also on the show. They had the opportunity to meet up with the legend himself.
I casually mention @undertaker ‘s name and he appears out of nowhere not 10 seconds later. I feel like @wweURNiverse had a hand in this #ShotShow2019 pic.twitter.com/YQir7WSKXz

Eli Drake posted an update on Twitter that he mentioned the name of The Undertaker. Just ten seconds later, the Phenome came out and posed with Drake and Taya Valkyrie to shock them. Perhaps he still has left some supernatural activities inside him! The three of them posed together to produce a rare picture.
We need to remember that both Eli Drake and Taya Valkyrie belong to the Impact Wrestling promotion. This is the rival brand of the WWE previously known as the TNA wrestling promotion. An open bond between the two company’s superstars is the rarest thing by all means. But here was the Undertaker posing happily with Impact stars.
Also, the Impact logo was right behind the Undertaker which did not stop him from posing. It indeed turned out to be a great moment for the two companies’ fans that happened in a trade show. The SHOT show deals with target shooting, hunting, law enforcement, and other relevant outdoor products. It has been a regular feature at Las Vegas’s Expo Centre for the past 10 years.
No wonder why it attracts some big names since it has an enriched overall 40-year history. Eli Drake and Taya Valkyrie were representing the Impact Wrestling brand whereas The Undertaker was having a fun time here. There’s still no update as of when we can expect him to come back in WWE programming. But we definitely expect it to happen in time for Wrestlemania 35.
