Triple H took part in an interview with Alex McCarthy of talksport.com where he talked about the infamous Undertaker vs. Goldberg match that led to a discussion about negative fans on social media about the WWE product. 

“The Game” started out by noting that people can say what they want to say about Saudi Arabia or the match but he takes his hat off to them as it was a bad situation. 

He brought up wrestling in the bad conditions as it was about 105 degrees and 100 percent humidity at ringside. He added that there were moments in his match that he wanted to change gears but couldn’t. 

“It’s humanly impossible in this moment. It was like wrestling in a sauna, it really was. And there was those moments like when you step out of a sauna and you’re like ‘jeez, I’m lightheaded I might pass out’ – it was so ridiculously hot. And you put pressure on yourself and everything on top of that, so it’s a lot.”

He added that no one cuts anyone slack on anything in wrestling. This brought up the negativity on social media. 

He talked about how he has to remind himself with social media that it’s people reacting with passion and the negativity is because they’re passionate. He thinks fans love it so much and that they will say the worst thing in the world on Twitter.

“But yet if they saw Goldberg or ‘Taker they would be like in awe and speechless. It’s just the craziest thing.” 

He thinks it’s weird that people will say negative things online yet would be amazed to see them in real life and not say hateful things.

The Undertaker is slated to make his return to television next month. 

WWE is set to hold TV events for Monday Night RAW on Monday, September 9 and SmackDown Live on Tuesday, September 10 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

On Monday, WWE confirmed that “The Deadman” will be making an appearance on this show. There’s no word yet on his exact role at the event. 

Taker was last seen when he teamed up with Roman Reigns to beat Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event. 

The premiere episode of WWE SmackDown Live on the FOX network will be a 20th Anniversary special. The October 4th show takes place from the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California.

It should be noted that Taker is also advertised for this show as well. Here are the updated lineups: 

Monday Night Raw

• WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin
• RAW Women’s Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans

SmackDown Live

• WWE Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Dolph Ziggler

Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, Natalya, Alexa Bliss, Braun Strowman, Ricochet, AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, Rey Mysterio, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, and The Usos are advertised to appear. 

Roman Reigns recently did an interview with Complex where he talked about his history with The Undertaker. 

The two former WWE Champions have worked together as both opponents and tag team partners. Reigns started out by calling the experience as “awesome” while noting that he’s not a new performer but rather from the new generation of performers. 

He recognizes that he’s one of the very few who have been able to interact with The Undertaker in the ring. He also knows that he’s one of the few to be in that ring when he makes his entrance. Reigns called it “a whole new paint job when that gong hits.” 

Reigns learned so many different things from watching him regarding his pacing, poise, cadence, all of that. He thought the most important thing for him was to make sure that he was feeling it out there. 

While in the ring, Reigns understands and sees Taker having confidence and swagger come out that only “The Deadman” can show in his own way.

The unlikely tag team beat Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre in a tag team contest at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Philadelphia, PA at the Wells Fargo Center back on July 14th. 

They also made history together by being in the main event of WrestleMania. In 2017, Reigns beat “The Deadman” in a No Holds Barred match at WrestleMania 33 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

The latest update on whether The Undertaker will be working the upcoming WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event has surfaced online. 

Although the original belief was that “The Deadman” would be working this show with his rumored opponent to be Drew McIntyre, that’s not the case. The Undertaker is currently not scheduled to be at this year’s show, according to the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

Taker vs. McIntyre was locally advertised but has since been pulled. Dave Meltzer reports that match is not in the plans as of now. McIntyre was reportedly on Taker’s shortlist of opponents he wanted to face.

The Undertaker was last seen in action at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event where he teamed up with Roman Reigns to beat McIntyre and Shane McMahon in an Extreme Rules Tag Team match. 

WWE presents the SummerSlam pay-per-view event on Sunday, August 11, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario at the Scotiabank Arena that will air on the WWE Network. Here is the updated card:

As of this writing, there’s no word yet on if The Undertaker will be working the SummerSlam pay-per-view event that takes place on Sunday, August 11, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario at the Scotiabank Arena. 

The Undertaker shocked fans by making a surprise appearance on the June 24th episode of RAW when Taker appeared out of nowhere and hit a chokeslam to McMahon.

This was after Reigns versus McIntyre and McMahon in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match was taking place when the two heels started to beatdown Reigns and it ended in a no contest.

Shortly after this return, Dave Meltzer reported in an edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Undertaker’s return for this show was not something that just came up that week based on bad numbers, as it was planned before Super Showdown.

What are your thoughts on Roman Reigns and The Undertaker going over here? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.

Bautista spoke with GQ while promoting his new film Stuber to talk about a wide range of topics including The Undertaker. 

This is where the future WWE Hall of Famer expressed his take about the way that WWE has used “The Deadman” specifically his most-recent match.

The match between Goldberg and The Undertaker at the WWE Super ShowDown pay-per-view event that had received a ton of criticism from fans. 

Batista brought up how he tried to talk Taker out of the match and Taker laughed at it, which is when Batista knew he couldn’t change his mind. Taker said it sounded good when they first started talking about it. 

“I only saw highlights which were, you know, low lights. it was not good. It’s just bad circumstances all the way around. I feel like Taker’s there for the right reasons. I think he’s there because he still loves it. But I wish that they would utilize him in the right way. I think a novelty match with Goldberg is the wrong way. 

I just don’t think it’s good for anybody and especially it’s not good for the fans. I wouldn’t have gone to Saudi at all. I don’t care who they would’ve booked me with. I just would not have gone.”

WWE has announced a tag team match that will see The Undertaker and Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre taking place at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event.

Head over to GQ.com to read their full interview with Batista.

Roman Reigns faced off against Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon this past Monday on RAW. His opponents had spent the night searching for a tag team partner for Reigns and ended up finding janitor, Gary “The GOAT” Garbutt.

Garbutt, donned in a luchador mask to conceal his identity, would reveal himself to be former 205 Live Superstar and current RAW roster member, Cedric Alexander.

Turns out that WWE was initially going to use a local wrestler as enhancement talent for the match but decided to go with Alexander instead, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.

He noted that “over the course of the day, there was a pitch for Cedric Alexander to do the spots instead. We are told there will be a follow-up to Alexander’s involvement on RAW Monday.”

Alexander wouldn’t manage to participate too much in the matchup past an impressive initial flurry. He would eventually receive a Claymore Kick courtesy of Drew McIntyre before being pinned for the three count by Shane McMahon. After Reigns helped him to unlace his mask, Alexander removed it and showcased that he had become a little bit bloody during the in-ring exchange.

Graveyard Dogs

Speaking of Roman Reigns, WWE has released some official merchandise ahead of his matchup at this Sunday’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Reigns will be teaming for The Undertaker to take on Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre.

Riffing off of both Superstar’s insistence to refer to the ring as their “yard”, the shirt is emblazoned with the slogan “We Run This Yard”.

The back of the shirt also seems to reveal that WWE has given the pair a name—one that they may be referred to as by commentary on Sunday: Graveyard Dogs.

Their tag team is being treated as a one-time partnership at this point in time, with no plans to have the two continue wrestling together past Extreme Rules. In theory, that makes this shirt somewhat limited edition.

Following his victory over Dolph Ziggler on last night’s SmackDown Live, Roman Reigns caught up with Kayla Braxton in a backstage interview.

Despite his busy week, Reigns stresses how proud he is to be teaming with the “original Big Dog” The Undertaker at Extreme Rules.

The ESPN ESPYs Awards, the Hobbs & Shaw premiere, and then, finally, WWE’s Extreme Rules on Sunday are all on his agenda. To him though, that’s just the “life of the Big Dog.”

“The fact that I am teaming up with the original Big Dog, The Dead Man himself, I’m so proud,” he said. “We went to battle in that main event years ago, and I had so much respect, it was hard for me, it was so emotional. I wasn’t even ready for that type of—something that deep at that point…but to be able to come back full circle and team up with him, the legend himself, the locker room leader for decades. It’s really cool, but I got a crazy week [coming up].

“I’m about to head to LA, I got the ESPYs, I got the ‘Hobbs and Shaw” premiere on Saturday, jumping on a red-eye right back to Philly, into Extreme Rules,” he explains. “That’s the life of the Big Dog right there, man. So, I’m just going to take advantage, live in the moment, enjoy this week and kick a lot of ass on Sunday.”

Roman Reigns will team up with The Undertaker in a No Holds Barred tag team match. They face off against Shane McMahon and Drew Galloway this Sunday. Extreme Rules takes place from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Over the past few days, WWE has been teasing fans with images featuring The Undertaker and Sting.

The two have famously never competed against each other, and a clash between the two often tops many dream match lists.

Sting has previously stated that a matchup with The Undertaker is the only match he would come out retirement for. Despite speculation that the images may be hinting the match could finally be happening, it turns out the images were to promote WWE’s new YouTube series, WWE Reimagined.

Sting vs The Undertaker: What If…

The series addresses a ‘What If’ scenario that both past and present Superstars then analyse and discuss. The debut episode revolves around what would have happened if The Undertaker had gone to WCW during the ’90s.

• Eric Bischoff Reveals How He Would Have Booked The Undertaker If He Jumped To WCW During The Monday Night War

The video features names such as Universal Champion Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Bruce Prichard, Natalya, Sting, and more.

When hypothesizing about what would have happened during a match between himself and ‘Taker, Sting claimed:

“There is no way The Stinger is gonna get tombstoned by The ‘Taker. That ain’t happening. Not on my watch. What would have happened is a few Stinger Splashes, a Death Drop, and probably the Deathlock.”

He continued, saying “To have ‘Taker at that time [in WCW], I don’t think there would have been a chance for any kind of comeback with WWE at the time.”

WWE got fans talking after teasing an Undertaker vs. Sting dream match in a recent post on Instagram, which you can see here: 

There were some fans that speculated that this match could take place in November at WWE’s return event in Saudi Arabia due to the big money offered to talents to work shows in the country.

This just happened in June with Goldberg vs. Undertaker at the Super ShowDown event. That is not likely to happen as Sting has been retired from the pro wrestling business for years.

Seth Rollins wrestled Sting for the WWE Title at the 2015 Night of Champions PPV event, which marked Sting’s last match and end of his career after he suffered a neck injury after taking a powerbomb in the corner.

This has been a match that Sting has wanted to take part in for years now. Despite his feelings for it to happen, it never did.

In previous interviews, he has stated that if he could’ve made it through his match with Rollins as planned then he planned to push hard for a match with Taker. Sting thinks that there was the potential for it but then he got hurt.

WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg seemingly commented on his WWE status in a response to a fan on his official Twitter account. 

It all started when the fan asked if he’s done with wrestling after his latest match or if he feels like he needs to achieve anything else before retiring for good. He responded with the following: 

The match between Goldberg and The Undertaker at the WWE Super ShowDown pay-per-view event had received a ton of criticism from fans. The start of the match was good but it quickly went downhill due to unforeseen circumstances.

Goldberg ended up being busted open and suffering a concussion during the match. Also, Taker dropped Goldberg on his head while attempting a tombstone and Goldberg botched the jackhammer.

As of this writing, there’s no word yet on what his future holds with WWE and if he’ll be working more matches going forward. Before the match took place, it was reported that Goldberg had signed a new deal with the company that could lead to him working more matches.

WWE is slated to make their return to Saudi Arabia in November so it’s possible that Goldberg makes his return to action at that show. 

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T gave his take on why he believes The Undertaker made a sudden return to WWE television. 

He made it known that he thinks the reason is due to Taker being unhappy about his latest match that was heavily criticized. He elaborated on his mindset during his Hall of Fame Podcast. 

Booker stated that no one thought Taker would be back this soon but he thinks Taker wants to get the memory of his match against Goldberg at Super ShowDown out of his mind and do something else as a re-do. 

“So I say come back out, and wash that little dirt off of you, and give the people what they want to see. Is this The Undertaker’s last match? That is the one thing. If it is the last match then you don’t want it to go down like it did at Super ShowDown. You don’t want that for yourself, or for your kids, or legacy. So you say, ‘Hey man, I have to go out here and do a re-do.’

The Undertaker made his sudden return on Monday’s RAW when he made the save for Roman Reigns from Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre during their 2-on-1 Handicap Match. 

WWE would later announce a tag team match that will see Taker and Reigns vs. McMahon & McIntyre take place at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event.

Michelle McCool, former WWE Divas Champion and The Undertaker’s wife, got fans talking over an action that she did on social media involving her husband. 

She liked a fan tweet that was posted on Monday night where the fans stated that she thought WWE was pressing an “Undertaker” button because “WWE RAW RATINGS SUCK.” You can see the screenshot here: 

“The Deadman” shocked fans by making a surprise appearance on Monday’s episode of RAW to make the save for Roman Reigns from a beatdown thanks to Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre during their 2-on-1 Handicap Match that was taking place. 

While the fan may not be wrong in their opinion, from a factual standpoint, it should be noted that WWE never advertised The Undertaker for this show. This is against the normal routine for the company as they usually advertise the future WWE Hall of Famer for appearances a week in advance. 

This return eventually led to a match announcement of Taker and Reigns vs. McMahon & McIntyre at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event that takes place on Sunday, July 14th, 2019 in Philadelphia, PA at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Undertaker shocked fans by making a surprise appearance on Monday’s episode of RAW. 

As seen on the show, Roman Reigns versus Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match was taking place when the two heels started to beatdown Reigns and it ended in a no contest.

That’s when Taker appeared out of nowhere and hit a chokeslam to McMahon and cleared the ring to end the segment by standing tall. 

This was done to set up Reigns teaming up with The Undertaker to wrestle McMahon and McIntyre in a tag team match at the next PPV event. WWE made the match announcement later in the show.

WWE presents the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event on Sunday, July 14th, 2019 in Philadelphia, PA at the Wells Fargo Center that will air on the WWE Network. 

Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins vs. Lacey Evans & Baron Corbin in a Mixed Tag Team Winner Take All Match is the other contest announced for this show.

Taker was last seen in action when he went over on Goldberg in the first-ever match between the two legendary pro wrestlers in one of the top matches to take place at the WWE Super Showdown pay-per-view event.

WWE RAW Results & Live Coverage (6/24)

The matchup between The Undertaker and Goldberg from last Friday’s Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia continues to elicit debate amongst fans and industry professionals.

Many have expressed concern over the Superstars ability to perform in-ring, worried about their health and risk of injury since the fallout of their bout. Others decided to take the opportunity to mock the wrestling legends.

WWE Hall Of Famer, Mark Henry, has taken issue with those using their “Twitter fingers” in an attempt to put down ‘Taker and Goldberg.

“You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself”

Speaking on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio, Henry stated that both wrestlers “deserve better” than to be taunted via social media and that they deserve the fan’s respect.

“Goldberg deserves the respect that he’s earned. The guy went in and busted his face open. He finished that match.” he said. “How about saying ‘thank you for not tapping out?’”

He continued, “He could have easily said ‘Hey man, I can’t see, I rung my bell.’ And they went into a series of Choke Slams and one, two, three, and it’s over. Could have done that. Didn’t do it. They went through it for you.”

“The twitter fingers, the people that probably can’t run a mile in under a day. The people that can’t lift their own body weight, do one pull up. People that don’t have any belief in nothing beyond their own nose,” he said. “Those are the people that came on social media and berated the Undertaker and Goldberg, when it was a travesty to the wrestling business because they deserved better than that. They deserved better than that. And anybody that sent a tweet like that, you should be ashamed of yourself.”

Henry then lambasted those who have chosen to make fun of the two Superstars. He stated that people should “look at you differently” because of their decision to post blatant negativity on social media.

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has sounded off on the match between Goldberg and The Undertaker at the WWE Super ShowDown pay-per-view event that has received a ton of criticism from fans.

The match was not what fans had hoped for due to Goldberg being busted open and suffering a concussion during the match. The pro wrestling legend gave his take when he spoke with Bully Ray and Dave LaGreca on Sirius XM Busted Open Radio.

Flair started out by stating that they opened up hot and loved the match until the last minute. He would then praise Taker and Goldberg for their accomplishments in the business.

Flair also ruled out the problems with the match due to the age of the stars. It’s the fact that it’s hard to work two or three times a year with long stretches of downtime. He would note that training for a match in the gym is not the answer to getting in the ring and going full speed. He questions how Triple H is able to do it.

“I don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean that they cannot have an opinion,” said Flair. “I don’t have an agenda here. I cannot let a minute or two of fatigue define anybody. It’s funny, had they gone on one more minute perfect and hit it, everyone would have been like ‘Oh my god that was perfect.’”

Flair would bring up how he thought the match was planned just like Goldberg beating Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series in quick fashion when Goldberg hit his signature moves in the opening minutes and thinks fans would’ve praised it if it ended then. But once they moved forward with the match then fans criticized it.

H/T to Wrestling Inc for the transcription

NXT Superstar, Matt Riddle, has potentially escalated the issues between himself and Hall Of Famer, Bill Goldberg.

Riddle took to Twitter to make fun of Goldberg’s matchup against The Undertaker from last night’s Super ShowDown event, which took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

He recorded himself sarcastically complimenting Goldberg’s attempt at a kneebar as the two competed, stating “What kneebar, bro. What a kneebar. Make me mad. You’re making me mad. Keep it up.”

The tweet was accompanied by the caption “Keep it up bro #WWESSD”.

Bro Blocked

Goldberg recently blocked Matt Riddle on Twitter—a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by the King Of Bros as he shared it on Instagram with the caption “I can’t wait to watch your match this Friday so I can see how good you are at wrestling”.

The two have had issues before, with Riddle expressing a negative opinion on Goldberg back in 2017.

During an interview with The Sporting News, Riddle criticized Goldberg’s in-ring work and ability.

“Bill Goldberg can’t wrestle. That’s it. He knows it. […] His work in the ring – people always go it’s Goldberg, he can have a one minute match or whatever. Yeah, it’s one minute because he can’t work more than one minute. If he works more than one minute, it could Botchamania, you know? Even with one minute, it’s Botchamania almost.”

There is concern that Goldberg suffered a concussion during his bout with The Undertaker. Not only did he clash his skull against the ring post, knocking himself out and busting him open in the process, he also suffered a nasty Tombstone Piledriver. The match had an abrupt ending via a Choke Slam, giving Undertaker the victory.

If you watched last night’s WWE Super ShowDown event, then you’ll know the main event of the show saw Goldberg take on The Undertaker in what was advertised as a matchup years in the making.

Goldberg ended up taking a nasty shot to the head after ramming himself into the second turnbuckle during a spear spot.

Taking to Twitter, the former WCW and WWE Universal champion explained what happened. He wrote that he knocked himself out when he clashed with the metal ring post.

“Knocked myself out and thought I could finish…. love my fans…..but let u down. Everyone else that found “pleasure” ….. hope ur happy”

Concussion Concerns

As soon as the match concluded, Goldberg was escorted to the back of the stadium in order to be checked out by WWE trainers. It is believed that he suffered a concussion.

This didn’t stop the Hall Of Famer from attempting to finish the match.

Although clearly rocked, groggy, and bleeding, Goldberg would try to see his bout with The Undertaker through to the end.

He attempted a dangerous Jackhammer in the process before being hit with a Tombstone Piledriver that saw him take further direct impact to his head.

The match would end abruptly after a Choke Slam to Goldberg. ‘Taker was visibly frustrated in the ring after the match as Super ShowDown came to an end.

The Undertaker went over on Goldberg in the first-ever match between the two legendary pro wrestlers.

“The Deadman” beat the WWE Hall of Famer in one of the top matches to take place at the WWE Super Showdown pay-per-view event on Friday. This was a dream match that WWE fans thought that they would never see.

As noted, Goldberg has signed a new contract with the company. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on what his future holds with WWE and if he’ll be working more matches going forward.

For over two decades, this has been a contest that many fans wanted to see but couldn’t due to the fact that Taker was in WWE and Goldberg in WCW.

Even when Goldberg did a one-year stint in WWE from 2003-2004, the match never took place as Taker was on SmackDown and Goldberg on RAW.

They did share the ring and even got physical once. That came at the 2017 Royal Rumble PPV during the Royal Rumble Match.

The two came face to face before brawling with other stars in the match. This would lead to Goldberg hitting a spear on Taker before Taker then eliminated him.

What are your thoughts on Taker beating Goldberg? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.

Bill Goldberg steps into a WWE ring one more time this Friday at Super ShowDown from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He faces The Undertaker in a dream match that virtually nobody expected to see at this stage in their careers.

Inside The Ropes has published a clip from Goldberg’s recent discussion with Kenny McIntosh, which you can watch below. Goldberg reflected on his famous face-off with The Undertaker in the 2017 Royal Rumble match.

He says it was awesome to share a ring with the dead man that night. Goldberg revealed that he’s actually known Undertaker since before Taker was in the business. He has always admired The Undertaker and has tried to follow in his footsteps, in terms of his mentality towards the business and standing up for the right thing.

Goldberg recalls feeling like a “green kid” when standing across from The Undertaker. More specifically, he wasn’t sure how his intense, fearless character should react to the intimidating Undertaker. He asked himself, “Do I disrespect him if I don’t sell his gimmick?”

Goldberg then joked that he’s really looking forward to their match at Super ShowDown, “Because he’ll let me do more than 2 moves,” which appears to be a reference to his matches against Brock Lesnar.

Watch: Goldberg Talks About His Match Against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown

Goldberg made an appearance on Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live in Laredo, TX at the Sames Auto Arena.

Goldberg cut a promo in the ring about his next match under the WWE banner inside of the squared circle. This led to the lights going out and back on with the Undertaker appearing in the ring that led to them having a stare down.

The former Universal Champion will take on The Undertaker for the first-time ever in one of the top matches advertised for the Super ShowDown event, which marks the third show in WWE’s 10-year deal with the Saudi General Sports Authority.

After twelve years away from the company, he returned to WWE in 2016 and headlined Survivor Series against Brock Lesnar, and Fastlane against Kevin Owens where he won the WWE Universal Championship. He lost the title to Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 in Orlando, Florida.

Goldberg was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year during WrestleMania 34 weekend and was last seen on WWE television the night after Mania on RAW.

The WWE Super ShowDown pay-per-view event takes place on Friday, June 7th, 2019 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry explained why he doesn’t think the upcoming match between the Undertaker and Goldberg at this weekend’s WWE Super ShowDown doesn’t need a build up.

WWE has done exactly that as the two legendary stars have only appeared on television this week to promote the first-ever match. Henry gave his take on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio and why there simply was no need for a story behind the match.

Henry started out by stating that it’s not about all the wins and losses that Goldberg and Undertaker have gained throughout the years. Instead, they are two of the greatest wrestling icons in the history of the business and this is simply a modern-day fantasy warfare.

Henry would elaborate that Taker bringing up Goldberg’s family and not wanting to wrestle that version of the former Universal Champion gives WWE a reason for no build up. He thinks then you could have Goldberg bringing the undefeated version of himself up as a response.

“If we get that guy, you don’t need buildup, you don’t need a storyline, you just need to turn the music on and let these two monsters walk to the ring, and it’ll be like Godzilla and Mothra.”

The Undertaker made his return to the red brand as he appeared on Monday’s episode of RAW in Austin, TX at the Frank Erwin Center.

“The Deadman” appeared on the show by cutting a promo in the ring about his next match under the WWE banner inside of the squared circle.

The WWE Super ShowDown pay-per-view event takes place on Friday, June 7th, 2019 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. At this show, he’ll take on Goldberg for the first-time ever in one of the top matches advertised for the event, which marks the third show in WWE’s 10-year deal with the Saudi General Sports Authority.

Taker’s last match came when he teamed up with Kane to take on Shawn Michaels and Triple H at the Crown Jewel event last November at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Taker was last seen on WWE programming when he appeared on the post-WrestleMania 35 episode of RAW where he attacked Elias.

“The Deadman” wasn’t advertised for this WrestleMania 35 or even mentioned during the broadcast. It marked the first time since 2000 that Taker didn’t work a match at the event that saw him be undefeated for so many years until WrestleMania 30 in 2014.

It appears that The Undertaker will be appearing on Tuesday’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live.

WWE holds this show in Laredo, Texas at the Sames Auto Arena and the official Facebook page of the arena is now advertising Undertaker to make an appearance.

It should be noted that as of this writing, WWE has yet to announce him for the blue branded show. “The Deadman” is advertised by WWE to appear on Monday’s episode of RAW in Austin, TX at the Frank Erwin Center.

Earlier this week it was announced Goldberg will make his first-ever appearance on SmackDown Live to hype his upcoming singles match against Taker, which marks the first-ever match between these two legendary pro wrestlers, at the WWE Super ShowDown PPV on June 7th.

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston s. Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler, and Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre in a singles match is also advertised for SmackDown Live.

Taker’s last match came when he teamed up with Kane to take on Shawn Michaels and Triple H at the Crown Jewel event last November at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Undertaker has his next appearance on WWE television booked as the company has announced that he’ll appear on next Monday’s episode of their flagship show, Monday Night RAW, in Austin, TX at the Frank Erwin Center.

“The Deadman” will be appearing on this show to promote his upcoming singles match against Goldberg, which marks the first-ever match between these two legendary pro wrestlers, at the WWE Super ShowDown PPV on June 7th.

Taker was last seen on WWE programming when he appeared on the post-WrestleMania 35 episode of RAW in Brooklyn, New York to interrupt Elias who called for a “Deadman” to appear. Elias tried to attack him but Taker hit a big boot and connected with a chokeslam. Taker ended the segment by hitting a tombstone.

“The Deadman” wasn’t advertised for this WrestleMania 35 or even mentioned during the broadcast. It marked the first time since 2000 that Taker didn’t work a match at the event that saw him be undefeated for so many years until WrestleMania 30 in 2014.

Taker’s last match came when he teamed up with Kane to take on Shawn Michaels and Triple H at the Crown Jewel event last November at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
