Match #8: The Undertaker vs Rusev w/ Aiden English (Casket Match)
Before the match Rusev went to touch the casket but backed away in fear.
The Undertaker gets giant plumes of fire at the top of the entrance ramp. He has no problem laying his hands on the casket before the match before walking into the ring. Giant reaction from the crowd throughout, maybe the biggest reaction for a Superstar all night.
Hello, old friend…
