Ahead of WWE Raw’s 30th anniversary celebration on January 23, it was announced that The Undertaker would be in attendance, though the nature of his appearance was kept under wraps until the night of the broadcast.
Midway through the show, LA Knight stood in the ring to address his upcoming Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match with Bray Wyatt at the Royal Rumble. As he was claiming that no one would show up to face him, bells rang out throughout the Philadelphia arena, signaling the return of The Deadman.
However, WWE fans in attendance were shocked and delighted when ‘Taker appeared not in his traditional hat and cloak, but riding a motorcycle to the sounds of Kid Rock’s American Badass, marking the first appearance of “Biker ‘Taker” in nearly 20 years.
As Undertaker made his way into the arena, LA Knight went to make his exit, getting in one more verbal dig along the way. He was interrupted, however, by the arena lights dimming and the sounds of Bray Wyatt‘s theme as Wyatt came to confront his Royal Rumble opponent. Knight retreated back into the ring, only to be grabbed by the throat by The Undertaker himself.
Before he could deliver his signature chokeslam, the American Badass gave Knight to Wyatt, who delivered a brutal Sister Abigail. Undertaker and Wyatt had a chill-inducing face off, their first since facing each other at WrestleMania 31 in 2015. Before making his exit, ‘Taker whispered something to Bray, a moment that seemed to serve as a passing of the torch.
What Did The Undertaker Say To Bray Wyatt On WWE Raw?
Though Wyatt insisted he’d never tell what was shared between the two of them, The Undertaker has finally lifted the lid on the special moment. Speaking to Tim & Friends for Sportsnet, the real life Mark Calaway explained that he made sure Wyatt knew the doors of communication were always open between the two of them.
“I just let him know too that my phone’s always on and if he needs to talk to me about things or run things by me, that’s cool. I would be more than glad to share my experiences with him and hopefully shine some light on questions that he has moving forward.
“It was a cool moment and it did exactly what I thought it would do.”
Elsewhere in the interview, ‘Taker spoke about the comparisons between himself and Wyatt, calling them “unfair.”
