5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Surprising update on Vince McMahon's retirement, WWE making controversial change to SmackDown?

#4. Hope is true: The Undertaker's not wrestling in his next appearance

The Undertaker stated last year in an out-of-character interview that he wanted to be more selective of his dates. That hasn't stopped him from working more frequently this year and he's all set to return to SmackDown for the first time in nearly 3 years.

This year, he has been a part of the Greatest Royal Rumble in a best-forgotten-about main event, while returning quickly for a tag team match at Extreme Rules - where he teamed up with Roman Reigns in a successful effort against Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre.

However, it looks like we're going to see yet another quick turnaround for The Deadman, because he is reportedly set to appear at Madison Square Garden for SmackDown Live this coming September 10th.

It'll be a huge return to The Garden and we're glad that WWE decided to bring The Undertaker - a man who has had countless classics and great moments at The Garden. However, what we hope is true is the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's report that The Deadman won't be wrestling.

Hopefully, he is kept for major events and wrestles tag team matches like he did at Extreme Rules.
