The Undertaker appeared in a segment of NBC’s “Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. The wrestling legend gave the tombstone Piledriver to someone dressed in a turkey costume. Brad Maddox was the guy in the turkey costume.
While Brad Maddox as The Turkey was not named during the skit with The Undertaker on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week, his name was listed at the end of the show when they thank everyone who helped with that episode.
Here is the video.
Next week WWE will be celebrating all week long the 25 Phenomenal years of The Undertaker only on the WWE Network with Undertaker Week. See unforgettable moments and iconic matches and hear legendary stories from WWE Superstars, Legends and Hall of Famers as they pay tribute to the legacy of The Undertaker.
Below is the promo WWE ran on last night’s RAW:
The Undertaker & John Cena may face off as a main event for WrestleMania 32, WrestlingInc.com reported. The last time Cena and The Undertaker battled in a singles match at a pay-per-view event was in 2003.
Citing a report from PWInsider.com, Marc Middleton of WrestlingInc.com wrote the two Superstars are—at least for the time being—options for one of the main events of the biggest show of the year.
According to Middleton, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer also questioned whether a WWE source was trying to throw him off the scent when telling him Cena and The Undertaker have other angles lined up for WrestleMania. Meltzer labeled the tip a possible “red herring.”
First, Randy Orton suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out for months. Then, Rollins tore his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus, thus ruling him out for WrestleMania as well. Those are two potential headliners out of the equation, leaving WWE scrambling to find alternatives.
Cena currently remains off for an extended break as well, but is advertised for a live event on Dec. 26 at Madison Square Garden. Depending on when or if he chooses to avenge his United States Championship defeat to Alberto Del Rio, Cena would be open for a major WrestleMania storyline.
WWE is advertising The Undertaker for their Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 22nd. It appears that Undertaker will face The Wyatt Family in a traditional Survivor Series match. There is no word on who his partners will be. Maybe we will find out more tonight on RAW.
If I had to guess on who will team with Undertaker to take on The Wyatt Family at Survivor Series, it would be Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The 4th could possibly be Kane. I do believe Undertaker & Kane did face Luke Harper & Braun Strowman on WWE’s recent tour of Mexico. I don’t know about Randy Orton since he is currently out with a shoulder injury.
Below is a promo that WWE ran at last night’s WWE Night of Champions for Brock Lesnar’s “Go To Hell” tour next month.
The tour starts off with the Madison Square Garden show on October 3rd where he will face the Big Show. Then he will appear on Steve Austin’s Stone Cold Podcast on the WWE Network on Oct. 19th. Then Lesnar will face The Undertaker inside the cell at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view on Oct. 25th. Later WWE ran another promo that stated that the Lesnar VS Undertaker Hell In A Cell match would be their final battle.
The WWE announced on Twitter that The Undertaker will be competing at WWE Live Events in Mexico, October 16 -18.

Taker hits Lesnar with another Tombstone. Taker dropped to one knee for his signature pose.
There are rumors that The Undertaker may return this Sunday at the WWE Battleground pay-per-view. Nothing has been confirmed and probably won’t even if the rumors are true.
PWInsider reports that Sting and The Undertaker are both booked for Monday’s post-WrestleMania RAW in San Jose. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be appearing live but they are booked to be there.
