John Cena & Kane In-Ring Segment: 

This is not your typical Raw. Everything is bigger in Texas. Last week Cena put out a WrestleMania challenge to The Undertaker. Tonight, we all find out The Undertaker’s response. It’s amazing that The Undertaker is in hiding so long because he’s embarrassed. Undertaker feels that he no longer belongs here. That’s absolutely ridiculous.

As long as there is a WWE, the name Undertaker has meaning. How does Dallas feel about a John Cena/Undertaker Match? Undertaker’s response is nothing. That’s the biggest mistake The Undertaker has ever made. Cena doesn’t mind going to WrestleMania as a fan. However, it’s disrespectful to Cena and The WWE Universe that Undertaker won’t get off his ass to answer his challenge. If he’s retried, just say no, we’ll all understand.

If you are not retired, say yes and give us what everyone wants to see. Cena calls Undertaker a coward. Prove him wrong! Give him a yes or a no. Cena tells Taker to do the stupid stuff he does like roll a casket to the ring or use some lightning. Do something. This is the exact moment where Undertaker lets everyone. Undertaker is not a god and he shouldn’t call himself a man. Kane makes his way to the ring. Is Kane here to deliver Undertaker’s response? Kane ChokeSlams Cena.
