In the electrifying world of WWE, anything can happen. Fans experienced just that when The Undertaker made a shocking return on the October 10, 2023, episode of NXT. What followed was not just an unforgettable confrontation between The Deadman and rising star Bron Breakker, but also a behind-the-scenes moment that Breakker says he’ll never forget.
The Phenom’s NXT Return Shocks the WWE Universe
It was an action-packed night on NXT. With the likes of Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, and Paul Heyman making appearances, fans were already buzzing. The main event of the night saw Carmelo Hayes emerge victorious against Bron Breakker in a hard-hitting singles match. However, Breakker wasn’t done.
After the match, the fiery Breakker attacked Hayes, claiming to be the only real “bad**s” in WWE. But just when it seemed like Breakker was ready to leave his mark, the lights went out, and the legendary Undertaker appeared to a thunderous ovation. Without hesitation, the WWE Hall of Famer hit Breakker with his signature Chokeslam, sending the young star a clear message and leaving fans in awe.
A Memorable Conversation with a WWE Icon
While the moment in the ring was unforgettable, what happened behind the scenes was even more impactful for Breakker. In an interview with WKDQ 99.5, Bron Breakker opened up about a lengthy conversation he had with The Phenom after the show. He revealed that The Undertaker imparted some invaluable advice, marking the beginning of a special mentor-mentee relationship between the two.
“We sat and we talked for a long time after that show. He just gave me a lot of great advice. It sort of started a bit of a relationship with him and I since then. Every time I see him in the building or when he comes around, I always go up and we have a conversation. [The] Undertaker’s the best. He’s great, just an absolute honor for me to be in that position with him with such a legend, and it was an incredible night. That’s a night I’ll never forget.”
For a young star like Breakker, having access to the wisdom of one of WWE’s most enduring legends is a game changer. The respect he holds for The Deadman was evident as he reflected on the experience, calling it “an absolute honor” to be in that position with such a legendary figure.
Will The Undertaker Step Back Into the Ring?
The sight of The Deadman in the ring again has left WWE fans speculating. While The Undertaker officially retired from in-ring competition after a storied 30-year career, the possibility of one final match remains a hot topic. WWE legend JBL recently stirred the pot by hinting at a potential return to the squared circle for The Undertaker—this time against Cody Rhodes.
During a live Q&A session on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s YouTube channel, JBL discussed the idea of The Undertaker wrestling Cody Rhodes, citing their potential for an incredible matchup.
“You look at great matchups because of the association with Dusty and the legend Undertaker, the size differential, and the way they work, and they are both great workers. That would be a terrific match for The Undertaker.”
A Dream Match for the Ages?
Cody Rhodes, currently one of WWE’s top stars, has strong ties to wrestling history through his father, the legendary Dusty Rhodes. Combining the mystique of The Phenom and the fire of The American Nightmare could create a showdown worthy of the biggest stage in professional wrestling—possibly even WrestleMania.
Although The Undertaker has hung up his boots, JBL’s comments have ignited hope among fans who want to see the legend step back into the ring one last time.
The Undertaker’s Legacy Lives On
Even in retirement, The Undertaker’s influence continues to shape the next generation of WWE superstars. For someone like Bron Breakker, that influence is personal. Breakker’s future looks even brighter with The Undertaker in his corner, offering guidance and advice as he carves his own path in WWE.
As for whether The Deadman will ever compete again, the answer remains shrouded in mystery—just as The Undertaker prefers it. But with names like Cody Rhodes and JBL speculating, fans can only hope that there may be one more chapter left in the legendary career of the Undertaker.
