World Wrestling Entertainment superstar and long-time talent the Undertaker was rumored to be retiring after WrestleMania 32.
The blockbuster event is scheduled for April 3 at the AT&T Center in Arlington, Texas, more notably known as the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Randall Ortman of Cageside Seats reported rumors that "The Deadman" would be walking away from professional wrestling after WrestleMania 32.

The said rumors have been going on since the latter part of 2014. The Undertaker, whose name is Mark Callaway in real life, began his career in 1984 with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) and will be turning 51 years old this March.
However, a follow-up report by Aaron Sass for the Inquisitr squashed the said rumors and presented possible scenarios for the Undertaker, considering the continuously growing list of injured wrestlers on the roster.
"The last time we saw Undertaker, he and Kane destroyed all four members of the Wyatt Family at 'Survivor Series.' So to follow that up with just a regular one-on-one match between Undertaker and Braun Strowman is pretty nonsensical," an excerpt of Sass' report reads.
The report adds that the WWE is now more inclined to making a match between the Undertaker and the Wyatt Family's Braun Strowman.
Meanwhile, the WWE has responded to accusations that their storylines are "sexist" in nature. A report by Keith Harris of Cageside Seats pointed out various moments in past shows where some of the female talents were deemed objectified.
One instance that was cited was when legend Ric Flair "forcibly" kissed diva Becky Lynch at the recently concluded Royal Rumble.
The company then used Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon's reasoning that their programming was merely a "morality play."
"As our on-going storylines develop, we will continue to position women as both strong competitors and compelling individuals," an excerpt of the WWE's response reads.
