According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, The Undertaker has taken on an adviser role with the WWE and will go to the Performance Center in Orlando from time to time to offer advice on a limited basis.

With the new role, The Undertaker will be able to pick and choose the dates that he wants to go to the Performance Center and that it won't be a regular gig.

His duties on the job are to give the NXT developmental talents some pointers and advice while driving home the point of proper WWE etiquette to them.

The idea behind the gig is for 'Taker to work with the developmental talents so that they are aware of what is expected of them when they are called up to the main roster.

The Undertaker has been a staple in the WWE for over two decades, making his debut at the 1990 Survivor Series and going on to have an astounding WWE career that has seen him win the WWE Championship four times.

The future of The Undertaker's in-ring career is in question after his last match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

'Taker was booked to lose for the very first time at WrestleMania, snapping The Streak and putting his record at the event to 21-1. During the match, The Undertaker sustained an injury that was believed to be a concussion and it has been uncertain whether he'll lace up his boots again or not.

Former WCW and TNA icon Steve "Sting" Borden has said in interviews that he is hopeful to wrestle one final match -- and his first ever with in the WWE -- against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31.    

Following the end of The Streak and his injury, it is unclear whether or not The Undertaker plans to return amid speculation he may opt to retire. Still, Sting is pushing for a match against 'Taker at WrestleMania 31 on March 29, 2015, at WrestleMania 31 live from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

While the in-ring career of The Undertaker is in doubt, his legacy will live on as he helps the WWE shape its future by aiding NXT talents at the WWE Performance Center.
