On the Raw 25th Anniversary show, the Undertaker returned to the ring–not to fight, but to deliver a cryptic message. He ended his promo with a line that sounded vaguely threatening: “And now on this sacred ground, I declare for all of those who have fallen: It is truly time you rest in peace.”
What does that mean? We’ll find out soon enough, but we can hazard a guess: Despite evidence to the contrary, the Undertaker has not retired. He’ll probably fight at WrestleMania 34, and he’ll probably face John Cena. Although the Dead Man isn’t what he once was–three decades in a brutal industry will do that to you–he still knows how to make a killer entrance. And the Undertaker’s entrance, by itself, is nearly worth the price of admission to WrestleMania.
It’s gone through plenty of iterations over the years, with different special effects, different music, and different outfits. But it’s always impressive, and it always sends a chill down our spines. Here are the Top 12 Undertaker Entrances In WWE History.
