5 Theories About What The Undertaker Whispered In Bray Wyatt's Ear

3. "You're A Terrible Version Of Me. I'll See You At WrestleMania."

On that facial expression again...

Look, the Undertaker isn't a particularly charismatic or happy-go-lucky chap. It's not in his nature. Goddamnit, he's a man. He likes fightin'. He likes guns. He might tear up at the sight of the flag, but boy, don't you dare respect the stars and stripes now. You are allowed to cry at the flag, you hear?

'Taker's face is just inherently miserable. He's the sort of guy who doesn't smile. If he finds something amusing, he won't belly laugh. He might chuckle, quietly, but he can't sell joy. Joy is for sissies and children. Don't no man feel no joy.

So perhaps he was just endorsing Wyatt, and there's nothing else to read into. Perhaps, when his missus pours him a double measure of Jack, he wears the exact same expression before muttering a low, gruff, "Thanks".

Or, maybe, just maybe, this wasn't just his resting face. What if 'Taker was challenging Wyatt to a match at WrestleMania 39?

This might explain Wyatt's response. Was he accepting the challenge, and recognising its enormity?

Yes, yes, 'Taker is "retired". Except he isn't; until he is literally physically incapable, he will always feel the temptation.
