Pro Wrestling Odds–The Undertaker Returning For The 900th Episode of WWE Smackdown

– There is a strong possibility that The Undertaker will return to WWE TV on 11/15/16 for the ‘Smackdown Live’ 900th episode.

– A Tweet from the event venue (the Mohegan Sun Arena) indicated that The Undertaker would be on the show. The WWE later confirmed.

– The Undertaker has a record of 23 wins and 1 loss at the WWE’s annual ‘Wrestlemania’ show.

According to a Tweet from the Mohegan Sun Arena pro wrestling fans can expect the return of The Undertaker to WWE television on November 15. That’s the date of the 900th episode of ‘Smackdown Live’ airing on the USA Network from the aforementioned venue in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The pro wrestling promotion didn’t immediately confirm the Tweet but eventually made it official with the following announcement:

As SmackDown celebrates its milestone 900th episode at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Nov. 15, The Deadman rises to commemorate the momentous occasion, appearing in Wilkes Barre, Pa., for the first time in a decade.

The Undertaker has long been a cornerstone of Team Blue, and his emergence on this special episode of SmackDown LIVE is undoubtedly linked to The Phenom’s storied history with the brand. This marks The Undertaker’s first appearance in a WWE ring since he defeated SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania 32, so whatever The Deadman has planned, mere days before Raw and SmackDown LIVE collide at Survivor Series, you won’t want to miss it.

The 900th episode of SmackDown LIVE airs Nov. 15 at 8/7 C on USA Network.

The Undertaker is best known for a generation of domination at the WWE’s annual marquee event ‘Wrestlemania’ winning 21 straight matches between 1991 and 2013. The streak ended with a loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania XXX. The Undertaker has won two matches since, however, and his Wrestlemania record now stands at 23-1. His return to WWE programming opens up a number of questions. The most immediate–will he wrestle on the Smackdown Live 900th episode? What about the ‘Survivor Series’ PPV on 11/20/16 or the ‘Royal Rumble’ PPV on 1/26/17? Will he return for a match at Wrestlemania 33, to be held at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida? If so, who will he wrestle?

There’s plenty of questions and that gives us the opportunity for a nice assortment of proposition betting odds related to The Undertaker’s return and its aftermath:
