WWE seems to be teasing The Undertaker for NXT, which is bonkers

An already loaded NXT card may also be getting an appearance from the Dead Man next Tuesday.

The temporary “Tuesday Night War” coming next week, Oct. 10, may have just reached absurd levels of hype.

With AEW Dynamite forced to move up a day by the MLB Playoffs, WWE hasn’t just been sitting back accepting that NXT might have less eyeballs on it than usual. No, it has loaded up the show, with Asuka, Becky Lynch, John Cena and Cody Rhodes all involved.

But that apparently wasn’t enough. Several ads for NXT ran during Raw on Monday night, and if you watched all the way until the end, you heard an unmistakable sound: the gong that signals the arrival of The Undertaker.

So is the Dead Man really going to show up for an episode of NXT? Normally we’d say no way, but since WWE is pulling out absolutely all the stops for next week, we wouldn’t be surprised at all at this point.

The Undertaker seems to be pretty firmly retired, so don’t expect him to be wrestling. But literally anyone on the NXT roster would benefit from getting his seal of approval or even standing toe to toe with the Hall of Famer (even if they end up getting chokeslammed afterward), so Shawn Michaels and company can have some fun thinking of ways to use him.

It’s another reason to tune in, but let’s be real: If you’re reading this, you probably already were planning on it.
