Even when you know it’s coming, there’s just something magical about The Undertaker‘s return.
The Deadman made his first appearance since the 2017 Royal Rumble when he returned to RAW to confront the man who cost him a chance to main event WrestleMania 33.

While Roman Reigns looked to reaffirm that the WWE was now “his yard”, The Undertaker sent him to the mat with a thunderous chokeslam.
The statement made by the Undertaker left the RAW Chicago crowd leaping for joy as they reigned down applause on the WWE legend, but the live crowd wasn’t the only ones thrilled with Taker’s return.
Twitter exploded with relief when they saw their childhood hero lay waste to their favorite target, Roman Reigns.
