RAW 25 saw the Undertaker return for the first time since WrestleMania 33 and his appearance came with a head-scratching message.
The Deadman visited one of his earliest graveyards, RAW’s original home, the Manhattan Center to a huge ovation. Once the crowd came to a simmer, Taker cut an ambiguous promo that left plenty to interpretation. Did he retire? Did he enter the Royal Rumble? Or did he hint at returning later in the show? Luckily, the internet specializes in speculation.

I hope there’s more with The Undertaker tonight. If not, that was a big disappointment. #RAW25

However, many fans seemed to believe that this was just an Undertaker appetizer and the Deadman will show up at the Barclay’s Center before the night is over.
I think we will see the Undertaker again tonight at the main arena. #RAW25

#RAW25. I wonder if the Undertaker is racing over to the Barclays Center to appear again. This segment seemed weak
