The Undertaker come back in Summerslam

- There is still no solid word on when Shawn Michaels will be returning to WWE television. Michaels was pretty banged up after his WrestleMania match and has been at home recovering, much like The Undertaker. Michaels has said that he wants to take off an extended period of time to be with his family, although people within WWE definitely want him back sooner than later.
