Jerry Lawler Explains Why The Undertaker Was In New York During SummerSlam Weekend

Before this past Sunday’s SummerSlam, we heard that The Undertaker, who retired following his loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33 earlier this year, was in Brooklyn, which was the site of WWE’s biggest event of the summer.

Because of this, many believed that The Undertaker was going to make an appearance during the pay-per-view, and some even expected him to play a part in the finish of the show’s main event.

He didn’t.

So why was he in Brooklyn? Well, on the latest episode of his podcast called Dinner With The King, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler explained why The Undertaker was in New York over the weekend.

Why was The Undertaker in the New York City area during SummerSlam?

“You know something that I just realized? [Undertaker] may have been there because they were doing scans for a game. Everybody that was on the show that night, myself included, had to be scanned… And it’s not the 2K people, it’s a different game that’s coming out next year, and so everybody had to do their face scans and their body scans.”
