Backstage News On The Undertaker's New WWE Contract

WWE legend The Undertaker has signed a new contract that is practically a lifetime deal, according to the Wrestling Observer. 

Undertaker, 54, is considered one of wrestling's biggest ever stars and has been a fixture of the promotion since his debut at Survivor Series 1990.

Earlier this year, the Phenom was scheduled to appear at Starrcast, but withdrew after issues with his contract in WWE, leading to a new contract being made.

According to the Observer, this new contract isn't a lifetime contract, but will take the former World Champion long into his career:

“The new deal Undertaker signed, while not exactly a lifetime contract, is so long that for all intents and purposes it is."

Undertaker has been rumored to appear at next week's Summerslam Pay Per View, though a match with the Deadman has not been announced.
