10 WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Impulse Reactions

4. Buried

Somehow managing to both defy and confirm expectations, The Undertaker literally doubled down on his WrestleMania John Cena squash by taking twice as long to crush twice as many.

It was Rusev and Aiden English that bounced around for 'The Deadman' shortly after he literally nearly died on his a*se. It wasn't enough for every lingering shot on his shattered face to provide a painful reminder of his advancing years during his middling sell - 'The Phenom' nearly hit the deck under the weight of his own right hand early in the battle.

'The Bulgarian Brute' was at least spared a Tombstone, instead getting an extended nap in the ringside casket whilst English did the honours. It was another dispiriting display from Undertaker though. Now the very worst kind of nostalgic cliche, his physical fall from grace has been stark and dispiriting. The less reminders of this per year, the better.
