The Undertaker Returns To WWE Raw; Roman Reigns WrestleMania Match Set
Time to decide who runs the yard.
The final segment of Raw began with Braun Strowman in the ring, looking to avenge his loss at Fastlane by angrily calling out Roman Reigns for a fight. As the monster among men sat anxiously awaiting the arrival of his enemy, the first few chords of Roman's theme blared over the loudspeaker but were abruptly interrupted by the crashing of the familiar gong.
The crowd shifted from raucous boos to frenzied cheers as The Deadman made his way to the squared circle for a staredown with Strowman, while the crowd filled the arena with loud "Holy sh*t!" chants. Strowman slowly backed out of the ring and exited to a chorus of jeers and headed to the back amidst a lengthy "Undertaker" chant.
Reigns' music blasted once again and "The Big Dog" appeared at the top of the ramp, pausing for a moment before confidently striding to the ring to face one of WWE's most iconic and intimidating superstars.
Roman took offense to Taker interfering in his business and said "Braun called me out. Not you. With all due respect, this is my yard now." The fans decided to let Reigns know they felt that he sucked, and he was met with a chokeslam from The Phenom.
Taker left him lying in the ring as Michael Cole exclaimed "And this is what WrestleMania season is all about! The original big dog is back to reclaim his yard, and we are going to find out exactly whose yard it truly is at WrestleMania."
That confirms what we've pretty much known since the Royal Rumble: that Roman Reigns would be this year's WrestleMania opponent for The Undertaker. With this possibly being his last match - something we've admittedly said yearly since WrestleMania 30 - this bout holds a particular significance for both participants.
Can The Undertaker be the one to halt Roman's momentum or will Reigns become the 2 behind the 23-2?
