Well, we an all remember... When the Undertaker was retired at One Night Stand, for a week straight after that, there was convo's about it eveywhere. Most notably, that night in the shoutbox. Back then, it was flooded by any member you can think of, most notably King Lennie, Steve, Dyland and HHHForever, and quite a few others. All these people kept telling me Undertaker would return, at the draft. They guaranteed it. They didn;t listen to any other options. BTW, Im not mad at you guys, Im just saying, this is what everyone thought was going to happen.
So my point is, everyone thought Taker would return at the Draft. That was wrong. Then, it was NOC... Nope.

So, the two big possibilities for Taker's return haven't happened, so now, Im wondering, does anyone here still think he's returning?
And secondly, if yes, then when do you think that will be?

I don't think they will bring him back right now I think he asked for time off so he probably will come back a few months down. The more you guess the more you take away from it kinda like the Jericho return.

He is definitely coming back, there is not a shred of doubt in my mind about that, he has simply been given a 'holiday' by Vince as a sweetener because Vince did not like the direction of SMACKDOWN! with The Undertaker as Champion!

I have no idea how he will return though although most believe it will be to interupt the wedding, now that would be logical but almost everyone got bored of Taker v Edge by the time Taker took his leave so who knows.

Now he is fired from SMACKDOWN so that to me says that he could return on RAW although I think Regal will return to RAW to 'save it' from the "anarchy" that is supposedly tearing the show apart, then Vince returns accuses Regal of being the one to sabotage the stage and nearly kill him then Regal is fired but rehired due to 'unfair dismissal' but moved to SMACKDOWN as that shows GM and then he brings back the Undertaker!

I didn't think he would necessarily return at any one of the events you mentioned, although I'd reckon the wedding was always the most likely.....

Draft was attention grabbing enough - A taker return would have been a wasted 'power move' so to speak.

NOC... Did anyone really think that?

Survivor Series would be a logical time to bring him back, that would mark around 5 months since his departure, long enough to be gone but not to long to be out of all the storylines

Anyways, to airfixxx, ya, alot of people did think that, about NOC. I guess you just weren't there, but ya, there was tns of speculation, lol. I didnt think that though.

Round about Summerslam I'm guessing, he wouldn't have had his last match at one of the worst bough Pay-Per-Views of the year. And Night of Champions wasn't a possibility in my view.

I think hes going to return during the Kane storyline, and have a feud with kane.

And secondly, if yes, then when do you think that will be?

I think it would be at the Edge/Vickie wedding or on RAW during a Kane segemant

Taker will return, I have a feeling that he is going to come to RAW since he was "banished" on Smackdown! I don't know when he will return, but if I were to guess I would say the Great American Bash this Sunday, at the end of the Edge vs Triple H match. Once Trips wins, they show Edge all pissed off then the lights go out and Taker comes back to restart his feud with Edge

^He was banished from all of wwe dude.
So to me, the only way that makes sense is Vickie bringing him back if the marrige somehow falls through.
But Raw seems unlikely, because again, he was banished from all wwe.

^ I know he was banished from the entire company, I was just thinking that they could make some kind of excuse and say that he was banished on Smackdown! and RAW has the right to bring him in or something. Its the WWE, they can make something up lol.

But yea, I completely forgot about the wedding so now that I think about it, Taker to RAW isn't likely

^They wont do that. They know the fans arent that stupid, lol. they wont just change the rule of his banishment out of nowhere.
The onyl way I can see him going to Raw is if since there is noone in charge, he just cam eback himself, and made himself a superstar again, because there's noone there to stop him.
But IMO, the more likely is SD, but I still think he's done for good.

^ What? Taker isn't done for good. There is no way that he is going out like this. If Taker is going to retire he is going to do it at Wrestlemania, not One Night Stand
