After WWE aired some mysterious and ominous promo videos on the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw, fans are speculating if The Undertaker returns in 2011. If the video is in fact about Taker, it appears he will return to WWE Raw on the 2/21/11 holiday, which is also one night after the big Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View.The video, seen on the 01/31/11 episode of Raw, doesn't actually say the Undertaker is in it, but it seems reasonable to assume. The clip shows a dark and stormy scene with a dark figure walking. The lower half of the individual is seen as he's walking complete with a long dark trench coat and boots. The promotional video leaves off with only "2/21/11" on the screen giving an indication of when some major event will happen. February 21, 2011 marks the observed President's Day holiday. Seems like an interesting time and place for Taker to show up. Undertaker is a Smackdown superstar, but Raw tends to draw more viewers than Smackdown on USA each week.
The early word is that The Undertaker would battle The Corre leader Wade Barrett in his latest match at Wrestlemania 27. This would seem rather bizarre considering that he was buried by Kane. However, Nexus, originally under Barrett's leadership, was responsible for helping Kane bury Undertaker in the Pay-Per-View match. So the storyline would make sense, even though fans might enjoy seeing Undertaker extract revenge on his younger brother.
Roanoke pro wrestling fan, Tony Scott, said, "Taker coming back would be great, but they do things like that to set up new talent coming in, sort of build them up before they arrive. Wade Barrett would be an excellent apponent."
What do you think about this mysterious promo for 2/21/11? Does this mean The Undertaker is making his return to WWE? Also, is Wade Barrett the best opponent for him at Wrestlemania 27?
