We have not seen the Undertaker or heard any concrete news about him since this year’s Wrestlemania season has passed by, until now. The Deadman made a shocking appearance at the NBA championship celebration of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday Night. The event took place at the Quicken Loans arena in Cleveland, Ohio, the home of the NBA tea.

Undertaker was seen present with his wife Michelle McCool who is also a former WWE Divas champion and recently diagnosed with skin cancer. Also present at the event was Dana & Mitigan Warrior i.e. the wife and daughter of the legendary, Ultimate Warrior, respectively. What was more surprising is that Undertaker was not seen in his Mark Calaway persona but he was dressed as the Undertaker character in the event.

WWE.com was also admitted the Phenome’s presence at the event by posting the following in the official website:
The Undertaker and the family of Ultimate Warrior joined the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Opening Night Championship Celebration at Quicken Loans Arena Tuesday night.
The Deadman was in the house as LeBron James and the NBA Champions tipped off their season on a high note. Before the game, Undertaker, as well as Dana and Mattigan Warrior, met Kevin Love, Chris Andersen, Richard Jefferson and many of their Cavs teammates.

The Undertaker has made the appearance out of mutual respect to Lebron James. In June 2016, Cleveland was losing in the final game with 1-3 score when James wore a t-shirt of Undertaker to bring some luck and it worked because they won the game.
It was a huge relief for the fans since the injury rumor of Undertaker was surrounded over the internet. He was seen holding a crutch in a recent picture. But, this appearance may pave the way for a return in near future.
