The wrestling world is on the edge of its seats after multi-time world champion John Cena teased a WWE legend's appearance on tonight's NXT episode.
The name in question is The Undertaker, whose last appearance on TV was in January 2023 during Monday Night RAW's 30th Anniversary. The 58-year-old legend came in his 'American Badass' look and confronted LA Knight. The Phenom also had a significant "passing-the-torch"-like moment with the late Bray Wyatt.
There have been rumors all week long about The Deadman making a one-off screen appearance on this week's episode of the developmental brand.
