The following is from WWE.com:
SAN DIEGO – Edge came to San Diego intent on taking the vacated World Heavyweight Championship and ending Undertaker’s career in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. And at One Night Stand, the Rated-R Superstar lived up to his promise – winning his fifth World Championship and banishing The Phenom from WWE.
In a brutal confrontation, the Ultimate Opportunist used his vast, victorious experience in TLC Matches to his advantage, climbing the ladder to claim the “richest prize in the game.” And while Undertaker proved that he could more than hold his own in the contest, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder made sure The Phenom couldn’t capitalize. The duo attacked the former champion, leaving an opening for Edge to take control, but Undertaker fought back and delivered a Last Ride through two tables. But “The Family” attacked, and as it appeared the gold was The Deadman’s, Edge shocked the world, pushing the ladder and crushing Undertaker’s hopes – ascending the rungs to take back the gold.
With Undertaker effectively gone from WWE, can anybody step up to challenge the new World Heavyweight Champion Edge and “The Family”? Will any Superstar want to go head-to-head with the “master manipulator” and his fiancée, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, after seeing how they eliminated The Deadman from WWE with their schemes over the past few months?
One thing is certain, it won’t be Undertaker. A career worthy of WWE Hall of Fame induction has been ended by the plans of a title-hungry Edge and his lover – a fate no Superstar wants to repeat.

its kayfabe
Bradley walker says
Hope it’s kayfabe
Scorbing says
Its all a storyline of course. The Undertaker IS the WWE. Without him, the ratings would go down the drain at Smackdown. He is possibly the #1 character on the WWE roster. He is not fired. He’ll be back. If you see his absence record, he usually takes time off around this time every year and then returns 3 months later.
alexg says
Hope that it is kayfabebut i heard he will come back in 4 weeks but thats just rumour
Jacob Spades says
I agree, I’m 99.99% sure it’s storyline and that it’s his annual summer vacation. If for some reason he really IS done with the WWE, then I would have to actively protest his departure because that was the worst farewell I’ve ever seen! And cheesy Michael Cole saying “The Undertaker’s career may be dead but the legacy will live on forever” was just incredibly emotionless. I guess we’ll see where he ends up sometime soon, hopefully.
eDo says
he is out for his summer holiday,like orton who lost and will be offfor some time(hes going to be a father) he’ll be back…i hope…if taker had gone, it woul be at wrestlemania or the fact of his possible end of caree would be very hyped.. just read about this end of career thing…
Nicolas says
The Undertaker is my favorite!!!!! I was in tears after 1 night stand!!! I’ve read that he’s taking time off,and will come back on RAW.But,if he is gone,then I say 1 big THANK YOU to The Undertaker,greatest of all time!!!!!
RatedRSuperstar says
That fucking Edge sucks!, first, Vickie cant do that of vacating a Title unless its champion has an injury. Second, she cant say that the title will have a victor by Judgement Day and vacated again. Thridly, Vickies big ass is gonna get kicked off from GM, as she only cares for the ‘ultimate opportunist’ or how i call him ‘te ultimate coward’, he jsut wins by cheats, cashing money in the banks with a KO opponent or by using those shit twins, chavito and bam. I Hate ya edge,
Taker is back, when is he back?
I THINK THAT THE LEGENDARY PHENOM WILL BE BACK AT THE DRAFT ON RAW, AND HE WILL BE CHOSEN EITHER BY ECW, SO THAT THERE IS A TRIPLE THREAT: B.SHOW, KANE AND THE PHENOM, OR BY RAW, HHH, CENA AND UNDERTAKER. SMACKDOWN IS NO MORE THE PHENOMS HOUSE, UNTIL THAT FAT VICKIE IS KICKED OFF, THEN THE UDNERTAKER WILL COME AGAIN TO FRIDAY NIGHT SAMCKDOWN!
Nick Finocchio says
Its not real, its all part of the story line, its a Kayfabe, the Undertaker is a lottery ticket for the WWE, they would fire him even if he failed the wellness policy 3 times, (He dosent take roids which means he truely is the best), if that was a career threatening match they would have built it up more, like Ric Flair, besides if he would retire, his last match would be a Wrestlemania. He did a great job in that TLC match, he almost won but that cock sucker Edge cant win without everybody in La Familia, what a fag stable name, Edge and his cunt Vickie should be fired
joey says
me and my friends will stop watching i already put up fleyers around my school to stop watching. Take that viky iky fatty
cj says
the whole undertaker firing is kayfabe , wwe did remove hisd profile though so the angle will fit in with undertakers kayfabe firing, tonight on smackdown undertaker is gonna lay his undertaker mind games one edge during the edge world title ceremony
JEREMIAH says
If the undertaker is not really gone i will protest. This was a ppv match set up for quite a while now. IF HE LOSES HE IS FIRED!!!!!!!!! WELL HE LOST!!!
HE BETTER CARRY HIS ASS!!!!!!
M. Callaway says
I’ll be back…rest in peace !
Nick F says
Your an asshole Jeremiah, ill kick your ass, you probably like Edge dont you you fagot
anass kazah says
vicky guerrero is a f****n b***h
PhenomFan says
This better be fake Taker IS most def the WWE, He sh*ts all over everyone else and i F***ING HATE VICKIE AND EDGE THE F***ING MAGGOTS they both deserve to be fired BRING BACK THE DEADMAN !!!!! i swear i will never ever watch WWE again if they fire him, or make him lose his WM streak, same as hella lot of my mates,
PS FUCK YOU VICKIE AND EDGE AGAIN
Igor Fox says
Edge is always cheating! Batista should have fought with undertaker, that’s for sure!
Big Phil says
Jesus this place is full of marks.
GiGi says
ONE THING I CAN SAY FOR SURE VICKIE & EDGE ARE BOTH FULL OF S***.. AND SOMEHOW SINCE THEY’VE BEEN IN FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN IT HAS BEEN A LIVING HELL FOR ALL THE WRESTLERS AND IT IS NOT FUCKING EXCITING TO WATCH SO THEY SHOULD BE FIRED FOR SURE… OH YEAH BTW THE UNDERTAKER WILL BE BACK ON VICKIE’S & EDGE’S MARRIAGE.. THAT’LL BE FUN TO WATCH(I WONT MISS IT AT ALL) HAHAHA
linda says
