5 WWE Casket Matches To Watch Before Daniel Bryan Vs Kane

4. The Undertaker vs Yokozuna - Royal Rumble 1994

After Survivor Series 1992, the Casket Match disappeared until the Royal Rumble in 1994, when The Undertaker challenged Yokozuna for the WWE Championship. Yokozuna had been champion since June of 1993, and dominated the main event scene since his debut.However, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji knew they were dealing with a different type of animal with The Deadman. They came up with a foolproof plan to take advantage of the Casket Match not having any rules. In one of the earliest €œUndertaker got jobbed€ occurrences, the entire heel locker room came out to beat the life out of the dead man. Crush, Kabuki, Tenryu, Bam Bam Bigelow, Diesel, Adam Bomb, Jeff Jarrett, Fatu and more took turns finishing off Taker before he was dumped in the casket to seal Yoko€™s win. Afterwards, The Undertaker appeared on the video screen, and cut a promo from €œinside the coffin€ and apparently floated up to heaven in a moment that gets funnier as the years pass by. Naturally, fans couldn€™t fathom Undertaker losing his own match. Seeing the reaction in the crowd would demonstrate this. The loss was justified since a million guys came out the locker room to cheat Taker. Yoko and Taker would have a second casket match at Survivor Series, later in the year, where Chuck Norris was named the special enforcer to stop any shenanigans.
