The upcoming episode of WWE NXT is sure to be a blast. That is because the card for NXT next Tuesday is absolutely stacked with star power. Several superstars and legends will make an appearance on the show. The motive behind this is to give stiff competition to AEW. The Tony Khan-led promotion has a special episode of AEW Dynamite scheduled on October 10, 2023.
Meanwhile, along with all the superstars who have been announced for NXT, it has also been reported that WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker might also be a part of the show. As per a report by PWInsider, The Phenom will be present in Orlando, Florida, in the upcoming week, including Tuesday’s NXT.

The report reads, “While there is no word yet as to whether he will appear on camera, the word around the WWE Performance Center yesterday and today has been that The Undertaker will be in Orlando, Florida next week, including Tuesday’s #WWENXT”.
Meanwhile, it is to be noted that it’s been 9 months since the wrestling legend made an appearance on WWE television. His last on-screen appearance took place on January 23, 2023, and it has a Bray Wyatt connection. During his last appearance, The Undertaker was seen sharing the ring with LA Knight and Bray Wyatt.

Thus, if The Phenom indeed makes an appearance on NXT next Tuesday, then it will be his first televised appearance since January when he appeared with Bray Wyatt. However, it will be exciting to watch The Undertaker return to the ring.
What happened during The Undertaker’s last WWE appearance?
The Undertaker is an extremely popular personality all across the globe. He has an extraordinary level of fanbase, who absolutely adore him. Thus, fans are always looking forward to his appearances. While all of Taker’s appearances have always been special, the last one was extra special.
WWE celebrated the 30th anniversary of RAW on January 23, 2023. During that, The Undertaker came out under his ‘American Bada*s’ gimmick. The WWE legend then went on to help Bray Wyatt take down LA Knight. However, what’s memorable about the segment is that before leaving the ring, Taker whispered something in Wyatt’s ears. This is often referred to as a ‘passing the torch’ moment.
Since the special moment between the two Superstars took place, fans have been wondering what ‘The Phenom’ said to Wyatt. Previously, during an interview, when Bray was asked about it, he said, “That moment belongs to me. No one else in the world in the history of time ever gets to have that moment. No one but me. What he said was something that only I would have understood”.
He continued, “It was something I never thought would come, but what he said exactly is between me, him, God (and) the devil. I could never (reveal it). I’ll never, never tell so. I’ll go to my grave with it”.
Unfortunately, Bray Wyatt is no longer among us. He passed away on August 24, 2023, at the age of 36 due to a heart attack. However, the stories and special moments that he created inside the ring will always be cherished by his fellow wrestlers and fans.
