The Undertaker Makes Bizarre WWE Return At Raw 25
Deadman Talking
The Undertaker made his first appearance in front of a live WWE crowd for the first time since losing to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33, saying and doing absolutely nothing of note to the glum confusion of a beleaguered of the Manhattan Center crowd.
In defence of 'The Deadman', he did at least consider continuity in remembering not to wear the hat, coat and gloves he abandoned at the Orlando supershow. Appearing to sport a wig underneath the hood of his jacket, 'Taker's toupee wasn't in danger of shifting, so inconsequential was his appearance.
Amidst rumours that WWE would set the wheels in motion for a WrestleMania match with John Cena, Undertaker instead stumbled through a convoluted set of catchphrases about some of the men he'd beaten, failing to address some of his high profile kickings in recent years. Without reference to anybody on the current roster nor final foe Roman Reigns, he wrapped up his mumbling monologue and disappeared as quickly as he'd appeared.
Jim Ross asked the audience and co-commentator Jerry Lawler if it was "a warning", but his segment was far too vague to discern who exactly he may have fired the shot to.
It may take until beyond the Royal Rumble for the words to carry any gravitas, if they even do at all. Based on other sequences on the show, it may have only been for an audience of one.
