• WWE Hall Of Famer Explains Why The Undertaker Returned So Soon
The Undertaker made a surprise return to WWE TV on this week’s episode of RAW and he’ll now compete in a tag team match at Extreme Rules 2019.
During a recent edition of the Hall Of Fame Podcast, two time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said the following regarding Taker’s return:
“The Undertaker made his return back to the ring tonight on Monday Night Raw, saving Roman Reigns from Shane-O-Mac and Drew McIntyre, The Scottish Psychopath.
No one thought that they would see The Undertaker this soon after Super ShowDown, in what we would call, ‘the incident.’ No one thought we would see him this soon, but me personally, I think Undertaker was thinking, ‘Man, I gotta go get this bad taste out of my mouth. I gotta get rid of it and do something to make me forget’.”
