One of the biggest, if not the biggest name in all of pro wrestling WWE legend The Undertaker made an appearance on "The Norm & D Invasion" radio show on Sportsradio 96.7 The Ticket and revealed the huge and startling news that both his hips have already been replaced, but The Phenom will need surgery to replace his right knee and that he needs to wait until hunting season is over before the surgery will happen.
The Undertaker said:
“Both my hips are partial hip replacements already. I need… I need a right knee, so I have surgeries lined up. I just… I gotta wait until hunting season is over for [them].”
The Undertaker also talked about how he misses performing in the ring, especially during WrestleMania season, but that his time has come because his body can only take so much.
The Undertaker said:
“I miss performing in front of our live audiences, especially around WrestleMania time.” “It’s just, you know, it’s the game. I was very blessed to have a very long career where I was active for so many years, but the body can only take so much and deliver so much, and for me that time. I realized at the last WrestleMania that I had, that I did [WrestleMania 36] that my time had come.”
The Undertaker's final WWE match was the Boneyard Match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in 2020, which was a cinematic-style match. The Phenom officially announced his retirement in 2020 and had his “Final Farewell” ceremony at the 2020 WWE Survivor Series PPV Event.
