What's the Story?
The Undertaker, one of WWE's biggest stars, will make an unexpected appearance during All Elite Wrestling's Double or Nothing Weekend per a report from Sports Illustrated.
The WWE Legend will appear at the Starrcast II convention on Saturday, May 25 - before AEW's Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
In Case You Didn't Know...
The Undertaker was reported to be open to non-WWE bookings after he removed all mentions of the company from his social media.
His appearance at Starrcast is being promoted as his first non-WWE showing, and would be his first appearance since WWE Crown Jewel in 2018.
The Heart of the Matter
Starrcast founder Conrad Thompson discussed the appearance of The Undertaker at the podcast convention and said that the WWE superstar is one of many non-AEW wrestlers who are scheduled to appear.
"I know people might assume this is an AEW event, but that is not true. We have wrestlers appearing from every promotion from all over the world, and Starrcast isn’t just for All Elite Wrestling fans, it’s for all wrestling fans."
Taker is only scheduled to appear for the podcast convention despite being booked on the same day as the Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
The members of the AEW roster such as Kenny Omega, Cody, The Young Bucks and others will be featured throughout the podcast convention.
However, there will be other non-AEW superstars joining The Undertaker for the event, such as WWE Hall of Famers Sting, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, Jerry 'The King' Lawler, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Lita and many more.
What's Next?
Thompson said The Undertaker will be featured in a separate part of the podcast convention, and ticket information will be available later in February.
There aren't any reports regarding The Phenom's plans for WrestleMania 35, so it's currently unknown whether he will appear at the show in April and who he would face.
