Local advertisements for Summerslam in Toronto are promoting a match between The Undertaker and Drew McIntyre on the show, but Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that match isn’t in the final plans for the event.
According to Meltzer, this ad with McIntyre and Undertaker is a “typical local market advertising” and it’s not the actual match planned for the show at this time. It was speculated that Undertaker will still be featured on Summerslam in some form, and the Extreme Rules tag match would lead you to believe the match is being set up, but he could always face someone else.
It’s worth noting that Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso recently reported McIntyre was one of a small group of opponents Undertaker requested working with upon his WWE return. It was originally rumored that WWE brought back Undertaker as ratings boost, but it now seems to indicate Taker’s return was planned much farther in advance.
The Undertaker and Roman Reigns will team up this Sunday at WWE Extreme Rules to face off with McIntyre and Shane McMahon.
