The Undertaker was feeling pretty damn embarrassed about his wobbly performance vs. Roman Reigns at 'Mania 33. So, for the following year's big dance, the legend trained hard for "a 45-minute war" opposite John Cena that'd tear the house down. 'The Deadman' was steely and determined heading to New Orleans.

When he arrived at the building, Vince McMahon called 'Taker in for a quick meeting. That's when the boss informed one of his prized possessions that he'd be working a short squash instead. The Undertaker wasn't best pleased. He'd trained relentlessly and was determined to make up for a personally-embarrassing performance the previous year.

According to 'Taker on Chris Van Vliet's 'Insight' show a few years later, McMahon found it "so funny" that he'd pulled a fast one on him. The icon even referenced all of this during his WWE produced docu-series afterwards. He'd trained for months to make up for 'Mania 33, but he wouldn't get the chance.
