Right at the top of the program, Shane McMahon said he was "p*ssed" after The Undertaker's shock return on Raw and promised that he and Drew McIntyre would make sure Roman Reigns was a "Dead man too". That...was rather cutting given Roman's previous life-threatening battle with cancer.

Even though that's probs not what Shane meant (he was only trying to build the tag match at Extreme Rules), it was quite close to the knuckle as far as WWE promos go these days.
