WWE Announces The Retirement Tour Of The Undertaker
Written by Richard Gray
It was announced at last night's WWE Raw house show in Dublin, Ireland the company will be back in November and it will be The Undertaker's retirement tour. As previously noted, the tour is called Undertaker's Rest In Peace Tour and will feature the SmackDown and ECW brands.
There have been rumors for months that Undertaker was nearing the end of his run in WWE and he was said to be in especially rough shape over WrestleMania weekend. As we noted on WNW Premium, Undertaker spent a good amount of time over the weekend icing his knees which continue to bother him.
It is likely Undertaker will continue to work until WrestleMania next year before calling it a career.
