WWE History Vol. 11: The many deaths of The Undertaker

The Undertaker at two stages of his career, the new generation era and the Attitude Era.

#5 The Deadman gets stuffed in a coffin but vows to return

The Undertaker tasted his first definitive loss at the hands of Yokozuna.

In 1994, the WWE Championship was held with an iron fist by Yokozuna. In reality a Samoan member of the famous Anoa'i family, which includes the Rock and Nia Jax as well as the Usos, Yokozuna portrayed a Japanese sumo wrestler monster heel.

Undertaker entered into a feud with Yokozuna, which culminated in a casket match at the Royal Rumble 1994. Since it was a casket match, and therefore in Undertaker's wheelhouse, many fans thought that this would finally be the end of Yokozuna's title reign.

However, with the help of a whole gang of heels, Yokozuna managed to shut Taker into his own coffin. But then Undertaker would appear mysteriously on the Titan Tron, vowing he would return.

This was a story line way to give Taker time off to heal a nagging back injury, but it shocked fans at the time because Undertaker was believed to be invincible prior to this match.
