Will The UnderTaker return to the WWE?
Though The UnderTaker said that he has “no desire to get back in the ring,” he was also quoted saying that he would consider a return "in case of an emergency" and if WWE CEO Vince McMahon was "in a pinch". However, The UnderTaker also revealed that at this point of his life “he’s done” and he just wants the “cowboy to ride-off”. He said he’s getting old and wants to spend the rest of his life with his kids and wife.
The UnderTaker got married to former wrestler Michelle McCool in 2010 and the two had a daughter named Kaia Faith Calaway in 2012. Apart from Kaia, The UnderTaker has three more kids, a son named Gunner Vincent Calaway and daughters Chasey and Grace Calaway.
“If [WWE Chairman] Vince [McMahon] was in a pinch, would I come back? I guess time will only tell there. In case of emergency, break glass, you pull out The Undertaker. I would have to consider that. Never say never, but at this point in my life and in my career I have no desire to get back in the ring," The Undertaker said in the documentary.
