WWE RAW REPORT: DID THE UNDERTAKER APPEAR?, WHAT DID SHAWN MICHAELS HAVE TO SAY?, A HANDICAP MATCH FOR THE UNITED STATES TITLE, DID YOU WANT MORE FROM THE NEW DAY AND TITUS O'NEIL?, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2017-01-09 23:07:00

Mick Foley says that he has had a number of encounters with the Undertaker and he is calling on him for one more encounter.  He wants the Undertaker to take a trip from the dark side to New Orleans.  Mick says he has been doing this for 32 years and he has had no greater honor than the chills from the lights going out and the gong sounding.  

The lights go out and then they come back on and Stephanie McMahon appears.

Stephanie says Mick has failed to produce the Undertaker so it is time for the performance review.

She says the crowd has reacted due to Mick's failure to produce the Undertaker. 

She mentions the pairing of Sheamus and Cesaro, the Women's Hell in a Cell Match, Chris Jericho in the shark tank.  For every step forward, you take two back.

She mentions putting the Cruiserweights on the line, you have an obsession with Sami Zayn, and you lost to Smackdown in the ratings.  Then the empty promise of the Undertaker.

Mick says he is sorry . . . 

and then we have a gong sound and the lights go out.

Smoke fills the stage and the pyro goes off, but there is no Undertaker.

Finally, Undertaker makes his way on the stage and he stops and looks at Foley and Stephanie in the ring.

Undertaker makes his way to the ring.

Undertaker says 'I'm Back'.  He says it is important that the world should know he will be entering the Royal Rumble.

We see Braun Strowman watching on the monitor in the back.

Taker says he answers to no one.  He goes where he wants, when he wants.  Nobody controls the Undertaker.

He walks to Stephanie and says no one. 

He has returned to the city where he suffered his most devastating loss and the place where the Streak came to its demise.  His journey continues to the Royal Rumble.  Taker says he has dug 29 holes for 29 souls.  He will be bringing the dark side to the Royal Rumble match.  When he wins, he will return to the main event of Wrestlemania.  If anyone stands in his way, they will Rest . . . IN . . . PEACE!!!

We go to commercial.

We are back and Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens are interviewed and they are asked by random stranger about the excitement of The Undertaker.  Kevin asks about how exciting it was that Goldberg interrupted or when Roman Reigns interrupted?  Kevin says it made him angry and Roman will suffer the consequences when he loses the United States title to him and Chris. 

Chris says that when they beat the Stupid Idiot they will be the United States champions.  For 100 days, it is time for a United States champion the people can be proud of.  They are national and international treasures.  Maybe the people need some Canadians to be the United States Champions.
