Well hello there. WWE’s television shows have not been doing well as of late. The viewership and ratings continue to fall with almost nothing that they do causing the numbers to go up, or even stay at the same place. One of the tried and true methods is to bring in legends to help things out, and that is exactly what took place during one of this week’s shows.
During a handicap match between Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre against Roman Reigns on Monday Night Raw, the Undertaker returned to save Reigns. Undertaker attacked both McMahon and McIntyre but did nothing to Reigns. This is Undertaker’s first appearance since Super ShowDown, where he defeated Goldberg in a match that was filled with botches and was not well received.
Undertaker can still be intimidating. Check out his return to go after McIntyre and McMahon:
Opinion: Ignoring the fact that WWE needs to bring in legends to bolster their show because their current stars aren’t doing so well, this was a very cool moment with the gong going off serving as a legitimate surprise. You can probably set up the tag match from here at Extreme Rules, but I’m almost scared of WWE putting McMahon over either of them as his rise to the top continues.
What did you think of the return? What will happen at Extreme Rules? Let us know in the comments below.
