#5 The Undertaker's promo gets flak
The Undertaker cut a riveting promo on RAW this week. While a lot of the fans loved The Undertaker's new persona and appreciated the pre-taped promo, it has also received some backlash from some in the company.
Dave Meltzer revealed that there were some people backstage who did not take kindly to a particular line said by The Undertaker during the promo.
While taking jabs at AJ Styles, The Phenom stated that AJ Styles joined WWE after The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Mick Foley, Edge, and various other veterans were not at the top of the game.
This line upset people as it shed a poor light on the current roster. However, Meltzer also stated that it was a promo approved by Vince McMahon.
Meltzer: Did you know the message that said?
Alvarez: That every single guy in that locker room today is a geek,
Meltzer: Yeah, it's like we got a bunch of second-raters and all the stars were the guys from 2003.
Alvarez: Yes, I was appalled by that line.
Meltzer: I thought it was so stupid because that's the exact last thing you want to say.
Alvarez: And unfortunately it's what the fans believe. Those guys were the real stars.
