In 2019, for the first time since joining the WWE, The Undertaker began making appearances outside the promotion. He was booked to tour the UK with ‘Between The Ropes’ and was scheduled to appear for Starrcast in Las Vegas. However, WWE interfered and stopped The Undertaker from going to Las Vegas for Starrcast and restricted his UK appearance to an autograph signing session. At the time, it was reported that WWE had signed The Undertaker and didn't want the Dead Man to make too many public appearances. Though the specifics of the contract were not revealed, many fans believed that The Undertaker had signed only a year-long contract with WWE.
