The Undertaker & Sami Zayn In-Ring Segment

Taker wanted to come out here, take a minute and absorb all of this energy. For the past 30 years, Taker has considered these hallowed grounds home. He doesn’t know how many more times he will come home, but there is one thing that he wants everyone to remember about this place. The Titans that were born here, the legends that made their names here, and the heroes that were created right here in Madison Square Garden. It’s rewarding to him that each of those souls, he took a piece of them with him. They will not be forgotten because the echoes of their memories will go through these hallways for all of eternity.
