As epic as it is that The Undertaker will team with Roman Reigns against Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules, the one lingering question surrounding The Deadman’s return was why the legendary Superstar decided to team with the man who sent him into self-imposed exile for a full year. On Raw, we got our answer.
Amidst rumors of his imminent arrival, Undertaker confronted “The Best in the World” and the Gaelic giant at his side with some clarification as to why they had roused the reaper. (Pointedly, both men scurried out of the ring despite beating their chests about their fearlessness just seconds earlier.) The Deadman revealed that he didn’t target Shane out of some kind of loyalty to Roman Reigns, as The Big Dog had never asked him for the favor. He returned for the sole reason of putting Shane-O-Mac in his place, as the prodigy he’d battled at WrestleMania in a Hell in a Cell Match had been consumed by an ego grown monstrous and run amok. Proclaiming himself as the “reaper of wayward souls,” The Deadman declared he was coming to collect, and Shane & McIntyre would suffer nothing less than damnation at his hands.
