With tough competition being thrown at them in the form of AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday, WWE NXT seems to be hell-bent on keeping the viewership up to a big extent. Previously, they have already secured top names like John Cena, Becky Lynch, or Dominik Mysterio in a rare occasion. Now, there are speculations that The Undertaker could join those names on the show.
An update from PWInsider stated that WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker will be in Orlando, Florida next week. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that he will be on WWE NXT, he will be backstage at the show on Tuesday. If it’s absolutely necessary then he could eventually be booked on the show.
