In the weeks following WrestleMania 32 here at SUPER LUCHAS, we have repeatedly commented on the situation surrounding The Undertaker and his future in WWE, which until today is very confusing.
Recapping briefly what has happened, first at the party held after WrestleMania 32, The Undertaker told several people that his match against Shane McMahon was his last fight.
Then, Undertaker canceled all his appearances that were scheduled for the company's tour of the European continent, arguing that some of the events were going to take place in Paris and Brussels, two cities that suffered terrorist attacks not long ago.
Finally, about a month ago we learned that The Undertaker told Vince McMahon that he is done and does not want to fight again.

In an update, journalist Richard Gray of Wrestling News World informs us that Vince McMahon has been trying to locate The Undertaker to do something at SummerSlam 2016 PPV, however, the latter is not returning Mr. McMahon's calls.
The Undertaker has told his friends in private that he has no plans to fight again and has even confessed to his closest acquaintances that the chairman of the leading entertainment organization asked him to defeat Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 32, as it happened, but he refused to do so and subsequently canceled all his future bookings.
Gray provides details of The Undertaker's current contract with WWE:
“Mr. McMahon is trying to find a way to smooth things over, but so far The Deadman is ignoring him. His current contract only requires him to fight once a year to receive his fees and he has already had his match this year, so it does not make sense for him to officially retire yet even though they still pay him his fees for the rest of the year despite everything. If he had no fights in the year, his contract would freeze and another year would be added.”
