A former WWE Champion is seemingly never returning to the squared circle again.
The Undertaker is one of the most legendary stars to ever grace WWE’s locker room. Having entered the company in the 1990s, The Phenom gradually rose to the top of the industry. After adopting the Deadman persona, there was no looking back. The 3-time Heavyweight and 4-time WWF/WWE Champion became one of the toughest names on the roster, eventually ending his in-ring career in 2020 and getting inducted into the Hall of Fame two years later.
In a recent interview on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, the WWE legend talked about why he still trains every day.
I try not to complain about it, because I know. I mean, I knew the whole time that eventually you’re gonna get to that point. I mean, you don’t play the game that hard and not have residual effects… Smoke and mirrors, man. Yeah, that’s kind of key to, and once it’s all over. I was never really like a body guy. I never like really cashed in on what I look like physically.
I kept myself in physically good shape, and that becomes really important once you retire. Because that’s when you’re like, ‘Ah, I don’t have to do this anymore now.’ That’s when guys blow up, and they stop moving, and then that’s it. Just all those years come crashing down. They come crashing down on your heart.”

The WWE Legend Will Not Have Any More Matches
Fans who are expecting to see The Undertaker return for another match someday will be disappointed by what the Phenom had to say.
Adding to his comments on the same interview, The Undertaker stated:
So I do twice the workouts for half the results, but, you know, it keeps me moving. It keeps my mind going as well, like, you know, although I know I’m not going to get back in the ring and have a match, it’s just better for my mind.”
For now, it appears that the 60-year-old is happy in his backstage role and does not want to venture back into the ring.
