The Undertaker has finally returned to WWE television.
Last seen earlier this year on the April 29th episode of NXT, The Undertaker was spotted in a backstage confrontation with the NXT Champion Oba Femi. Now, after a gap of almost a few months, The Phenom has returned to the Tuesday-night show.
Responding to Trick Williams’ insults last week. The Undertaker had confirmed his appearance this week. As Williams won at Slammiversary and continued his row of insults on the July 21st Raw and tonight’s NXT episode, fans heard the bells gong before The Undertaker returned with his ‘American Badass’ theme song.
The two engaged in a verbal exchange as The Deadman picked out the difference between NXT Champion Trick Williams and TNA World Champion Trick Williams. As the Hall of Famer asked Williams to grow some respect for the veterans and his competitors, the 31-year-old would try attacking the veteran.
The Undertaker thwarted Williams’ attempts and concluded the segment by delivering a decisive chokeslam in the middle of the ring. As fans cheered the devastating move on Williams, the Hall of Famer shared an intense staredown with the TNA Champion.
The Undertaker Discusses The Hardest Part Of His Current WWE Job
“It’s hard now, man. Because I am not hands-on every day, so I am not around people so it gets very difficult with the guys and girls on the main roster. They are there every week and then I come in and say, ‘Hey, ever thought about this?’ and they are like, ‘No, we don’t want any part of that.’”
“That’s one of the best things about working on LFG. With these young kids, I can kind of start to get that ingrained in their heads a bit. I am constantly saying, ‘I don’t want flippy dudes, what I need you to do is tell me a story.’ And you could tell in their head they are thinking, ‘Okay, this is what I am watching the main roster people do,’ and I constantly say, ‘Go out there and feel this. Feel like you’re kicking somebody’s a*s.’”
