“So we drove over to this giant field in the middle of nowhere, which was I guess I don’t know 30-40 miles outside of Orlando, and the giant field in the middle of nowhere ended up being like a one-acre lot and behind this barn at the end of a residential neighborhood with like a house across the street,” Triple H said, per Wrestling Inc. “We got out of the car, and I was like, ‘where’s the big field?’ And they were like, ‘no this is it right here.’ This area right here to that street right there and I was like, ‘you’re kidding me.’ Michael’s like, ‘this ain’t gonna work. We can’t do this. I gotta call Vince right now to tell him to put this in the studio or we got to find another location. Shoot this ain’t gonna work.’ And I said, ‘Michael, this is it. This the hand we have. This is the cards we’ve been dealt with’.”
Triple H went on to say he used the NXT digital team to film the match, got the approval from Vince McMahon, and the rest is history. The Undertaker won the match and now has a 25-2 record in WrestleMania matches in his career.
