WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker opens up about appearing at WrestleMania 40
WWE is heading to Canada to host the upcoming Money in the Bank Premium Live Event in less than three weeks. Meanwhile, The Undertaker recently opened up about appearing at WrestleMania XL for Cody Rhodes.
WrestleMania XL was nothing less than a feature film, as a star-studded team came to Cody Rhodes' aid and helped The American Nightmare dethrone Roman Reigns in the show's main event.
During an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, The Phenom spoke about his appearance at the event, which led to him Chokeslamming The Rock. The veteran detailed how he reached the other side of the stadium to help Cody Rhodes.
"It was a lot of fun. The rib was on me, though. Because normally we would stage a lot differently. So when I get downstairs and they say, 'Okay, we're going to put you here, and then when this happens in the match, we got to start running!' So I'm at the far end of the bowl of the of the stadium, and whatever spot happens. They said, 'Alright, let's go!' So I've got all these ring guys, these tech crew; we're all running a big group trying to hide me. And we're running, and actually no one is really paying attention," Taker said.
The veteran revealed he had to run 75 yards after having two knee replacements.
"I had both my knees replaced. So this is the first time that I've actually run on them. So I'm running through the crowd, and I finally get to the place, and I'm blown up. And so then I waited on the second cue and slid in there, [you looked good], 'Hey, man, that's what two new hips and two new knees!' Well, then the hips are not new, but now I feel pretty good," he said. [H/T: Chris Van Vliet]
The Undertaker has also appeared on WWE NXT
WWE has been working tirelessly to create the superstars of tomorrow on their developmental brand. Over the decade, NXT has undergone several changes, from regimes to reboots.
However, the current version of the white and gold brand has been in sync with WWE's main roster under Shawn Michaels and Triple H's creative leadership, respectively.
Last year, several stars from WWE's main roster appeared on the developmental brand to promote the show. The likes of Asuka, Cody Rhodes, Dominik Mysterio, John Cena, and Paul Heyman interacted with the stars of tomorrow.
In the end, The Undertaker made a cameo appearance and confronted Bron Breakker. The Deadman Chokeslammed the second-generation star and left the ring with Carmelo Hayes to close the show.
