Hardcore fan service comes included as part of the package.

New Day spot a Paul Bearer painting on their way up the main staircase near the start of the film. Anyone hoping that wouldn't be the last nod to The Undertaker's past would be delighted to see what came next - a Kane reference. Sort of.

Kofi, Xavier and E retreat to the morgue in the basement and find a dead body. Suddenly, Kingston glances at the toe tag and spots that it says, "Isaac Yankem D.D.S" on it. Then, there's a brief tease that they're gonna pull back the sheet to find Glenn Jacobs with rotten teeth. It's all so playful and childish.

Younger kids (at least those who don't scour 1995 on WWE Network/Peacock) won't have a clue what the Yankem stuff means. That's fine, because this is something for parents watching with their children. Historical nuts will get a lot out of these little Easter eggs.
