The Undertaker Tempted To End Retirement For Match With Top WWE Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In what is being seen as the ultimate sign of respect, The Undertaker has named the one current WWE superstar he would have considered coming out of retirement to face. On his podcast, "The Deadman" bestowed this incredible honor upon the former World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER. The WWE Hall of Famer has been officially retired from in-ring competition since 2020. He made it clear that while he is staying retired, a match with "The Ring General" would have been a special attraction. The Undertaker's Ultimate Endorsement While speaking with GUNTHER on the latest episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker was effusive in his praise. He said that GUNTHER's style and presence are what would have drawn him back for one more match. "If I had anything left in the tank, you're the one guy that I would consider coming out of retirement to work with," Undertaker said. "From the moment that I saw you at Clash at the Castle, I was like, dang, I would have loved to have worked with you." He then joked with the Austrian star, "I wish you would have got your s*** together a little sooner and got here quicker... But it would have been really good. I might have put you over. We'll never know now, but the match itself would have been awesome."

WWE/Getty Images More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match The Undertaker is arguably the most respected superstar in WWE history. For 30 years, his "Deadman" persona, his legendary undefeated WrestleMania streak, and his role as the locker room leader made him an icon. His praise is considered the highest possible honor a current superstar can receive. Like The Undertaker, GUNTHER has established himself as a dominant and feared champion. His record-breaking 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion was universally acclaimed, and his subsequent run as World Heavyweight Champion was equally dominant until he was defeated by CM Punk at SummerSlam last weekend. A dream match between The Undertaker and GUNTHER is a compelling "what if" because of their similar, old-school wrestling philosophies. Both men are known for their brutally physical, realistic, and story-driven in-ring styles. The Undertaker specifically mentioned GUNTHER's classic, hard-hitting match against Sheamus at Clash at the Castle in 2022 as the moment that first caught his eye. An endorsement from a legend like The Undertaker is a massive vote of confidence in GUNTHER, especially coming just days after he lost his world title. While the match will only ever exist in fantasy, "The Deadman's" comments have solidified GUNTHER's status as one of the most respected competitors in the industry.

WWE Star Reportedly Removed From Internal Roster
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An update has been provided on the status of injured WWE Raw superstar Austin Theory. According to a new report from the former United States Champion has been removed from the company's internal active roster. This move comes after Theory was written off television with a storyline injury two weeks ago. The removal from the active roster is a standard procedural step for a performer who is sidelined for an extended period. Removed From The Active Roster The PWInsider report, citing WWE sources, confirms that Theory is no longer on the internal list of talent available to be booked for television or live events. It is important to note that this does not mean he has been released from his WWE contract. Wrestlers recovering from legitimate, long-term injuries are typically taken off the active roster list until they are medically cleared to return to action. The specific nature and severity of Theory's injury, and a potential timeline for his return, have not yet been publicly disclosed. Fightful Select reports that he's listed with the other injured talent like Zoey Stark and Ilja Dragunov. An Abrupt End To A-Town Down Under Theory's injury has been woven into a major new storyline. On the July 21st episode of Monday Night Raw, his tag team partner, Grayson Waller, announced that their team, A-Town Down Under, was officially "done" due to Theory being on the shelf.

HOUSTON, TEXAS - MARCH 11: A general stadium view during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas. Waller showed no sympathy for his partner. He has since been seen on Raw attempting to form new alliances and has cut a scathing social media promo, claiming he "wasted two years" of his career making Theory relevant. This on-screen betrayal sets up a major grudge feud for when Theory is eventually cleared to return. A Career of Highs and Lows Austin Theory's WWE career has been a rollercoaster. He was initially pushed as the hand-picked protégé of Vince McMahon and became the youngest United States Champion and Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history. However, his momentum stalled after an infamous failed cash-in attempt and a brutal promo from John Cena on the road to WrestleMania 39. He was successfully repackaged alongside Grayson Waller, and the arrogant duo captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 40. This latest injury and the split from Waller mark another major turning point in the career of the talented 28-year-old. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

‘The Hunting Wives' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Show
It's Tuesday, we're doing it. The Hunting Wives, after a decently impressive run on Netflix's Top 10 list, has been at least temporarily dethroned by a new Netflix staple. That would be WWE Monday Night RAW, which was a very special post-Summerslam episode that was always going to be a huge draw, as the RAWs after PPVs always are, especially one that's the second-biggest of the year after Wrestlemania. The big news of that show was the surprise return of Brock Lesnar, which drew a lot of fire on social media after his link to Vince McMahon's career-ending scandal. The Hunting Wives, meanwhile, has yet to get a season 2 renewal. There may be some complications there, given that the show is based on a book with no sequel, but that hasn't stopped other series before. You're successful enough, and you find a way to make it work. Somehow we're getting two more seasons of Shogun, for instance. I still expect a season 2 renewal for The Hunting Wives will be coming in the next few weeks or so, but these things tend to take time. Fans shouldn't be concerned, I don't think, and clearly the cast and crew are ready to go judging by their comments in interviews. A new entry to the list is the 16 episode throwback comedy Leanne, the type of series you just don't see much of these days, much less on streaming. It's the story of woman dealing with her marriage falling apart, moving forward with her 'salty sister.' It's literally like, Roseanne-era stuff, but at #2-3, it's performing well and has grabbed an audience. Untamed remains #4, the limited series suddenly not so limited after a nearly two-week run that ended up getting the show a not-planned season 2 greenlight. The show will head to a new national park that will feature a new crime that Eric Bana will need to solve. Of note, ahead of Wednesday season 2's release tomorrow, Wednesday season 1 is currently inside the top 10 list as people appear to be rewatching it after the show has been off the air for a frankly absurd three years. Can't blame them for wanting to go back to it for that reason but also it's just…very good. I rarely watch shows twice these days, but I did so for Wednesday twice. That show is about to hit #1 on the list and stay there for weeks, I would guess. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Injured WWE Wrestler Is Getting Closer to In-Ring Return: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A positive update has emerged on the status of former WWE Women's Champion Bianca Belair. According to a new report, the "EST of WWE" is closing in on a return to the ring after being sidelined with an injury for nearly four months. The report states that Belair is expected to be medically cleared for in-ring action as early as next week. This is welcome news for the SmackDown women's division. According to sources, we are told Bianca Belair is closing in on her return. The former 3 time Women's Champion is expected to be cleared for action this upcoming week and could appear as soon as the SmackDown following SummerSlam on 8/9. She won't be cleared ahead of this… — WrestleVotes (@WrestleVotes) July 31, 2025 Expected To Be Cleared Soon While a specific return date is not set, the report indicates a potential comeback could happen on the episode of Friday Night SmackDown following SummerSlam on August 8th. However, the source clarified that Belair will not be cleared in time for a surprise appearance at this weekend's premium live event. Belair has been out of action since suffering a serious finger injury. The injury occurred during her triple-threat match at WrestleMania 41 this past April. The "EST" Sidelined The injury was a major setback for Belair, as it came while she was one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. She and her partner, Jade Cargill, were forced to vacate the championships due to the injury. Her only on-screen appearance since then was as the special guest referee for the match between Jade Cargill and Naomi at the Evolution premium live event earlier this month.

HOUSTON, TEXAS - MARCH 11: A general stadium view during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas. As one of the most decorated women in modern WWE history, Belair's absence has been deeply felt. The "EST of WWE" is a former Royal Rumble winner and made history by winning the main event of WrestleMania 37 against Sasha Banks. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A Changed Landscape Bianca Belair will be returning to a very different SmackDown women's division than the one she left. In her absence, her former tag team partner, Jade Cargill, has embarked on a dominant singles run. Cargill is now scheduled to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam this weekend. Belair's impending return could have major implications for the entire division. She could choose to support her friend Jade, reunite with her to reclaim their tag team titles, or enter the singles championship picture herself, creating a host of exciting new storyline possibilities on the blue brand.
