The Undertaker Confirmed For The 2017 Royal Rumble Match

This week’s episode of Raw featured two huge legends, as Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker both appeared on the show.

Stephanie McMahon pressured Mick Foley to find The Undertaker, and Mick searched for the Deadman all throughout the arena, but he was nowhere to be found. Mick later made his way to the ring, and he practically begged The Undertaker to appear. The lights went out and Stephanie McMahon made her way down to the ring.

She decided to give Mick Foley a performance review, and she berated him over how he’s handled the Cruiserweight division, how he’s handled Braun Strowman, and she blamed him for letting SmackDown beat Raw in the ratings. She then started laying into Mick for his inability to make The Undertaker appear and that’s when Taker’s music hit.

The Undertaker made his way down to the ring and he wasted no time telling fans that he plans to enter the Royal Rumble. As soon as Taker made the announcement, cameras cut to Braun Strowman watching Taker on a monitor backstage.

The Undertaker said that no one controls him and he goes where he wants, when he wants.

He brought up the fact that the streak came to an end in New Orleans, but he said his journey continues to the Royal Rumble, and he’s dug 29 holes for 29 souls.

Taker said he’s heading to the main event of WrestleMania and if anyone stands in his way, they will rest in peace.
