Former WWE writer Andrew Goldstein was very critical of Monday’s RAW, specifically the McMahon-Undertaker storyline.
The Dead Man is scheduled to square off against Shane McMahon at WrestleMania inside Hell in a Cell. If Shane wins, he gets control of WWE. If The Undertaker wins, The Authority remains in power and Shane will no longer have any leverage over his father.
Ever since the match was announced, fans have been wondering why exactly The Undertaker would agree to do Vince McMahon’s bidding. What is The Undertaker’s motivation to keep The Authority in power?
On RAW, The Undertaker addressed the match ever-so-briefly but did not provide any explanation regarding why he has agreed to the match. Andrew Goldstein thinks WWE has failed at their job to present a straight-forward, cohesive angle. He tweeted:
Apart from initial surprise of Shane's return, rest of story has lacked logic/specifics. Basically its been like one, long Trump speech #RAW

Jesus @WWE you had one job: Explain why the f*ck the Undertaker would do Vince's bidding. Instead we got unimpactful melodrama. Fail. #RAW
