WrestleMania 32 was the last time the wrestling world had seen the great Undertaker took the Deadman's fury to the ring with his classic finish that beat the hell out of Shane McMahon in the Hell in a Cell match.

Latest rumors swirling across WWE land suggest that Undertaker may have already wrestled his last as his relationship with Vince McMahon breaks down following his refusal to lose to Shane-O-Mac at WrestleMania 32. Vince hopes for him to appear at SummerSlam but if the Undertaker's gesture in his last match is of any indication, then may have already chosen to fade away from wrestling after more than two decades.

As per Daily Wrestling News, the deteriorating relationship between the superstar and the Chairman has sunk deep to the point that the Undertaker would no longer accept McMahon's calls. As far as his contract is pro wrestling contract is concerned, the Undertaker is only required to appear in one major PPV event which he already fulfilled when he finished off Vince's son Shane in the ring last April.

As per Yibada report, the tension erupted between them when the Undertaker was asked by McMahon to put Shane-O-Mac over in their WrestleMania 32 which was not accepted well by the wrestling veteran. The storyline leading up to the Hell in a Cell match was about Vince's threat to shut the Deadman out from the WWE ring in future matches if he's defeated by his son Shane.

In another report by Sportskeeda, the rift was also heightened when the Undertaker pulled out from the post-WrestleMania European tour, which initially advertised his appearance, just days before it started adding fuel to his highly speculated departure from the trade.

If the Undertaker's SummerSlam absence serve as a further testament to his desire to leave WWE quietly, then the veteran would be a surefire inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame soon after.

As one of the promotion's greatest wrestling superstars in the entertainment history, the Undertaker entered the arena in 1991 and soon established himself as one of the legendary pillars that made pro wrestling great. He set a 23-1 WrestleMania record with a single loss to Brock Lesnar in 2014.
