The Deadman was a fixture of WWE television for over thirty years. He finally retired at Survivor Series 2020 but has made sporadic appearances since then. He shocked fans with his appearance on NXT earlier this month and now he was defended against accusations of killing Bron Breakker’s image during the show.
As seen on last week’s episode of NXT, The Undertaker made his shocking return on WWE television for the first time in several months following the main event, where he took out Bron Breakker with a vicious chokeslam.
While speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Bill Apter talked about The Undertaker putting down Bron Breakker, noting that it killed Breakker’s image. Teddy Long defended The Undertaker and stated that he actually established Breakker.
Bill Apter: “I loved it until The Undertaker kind of killed him (Bron Breakker) at the end there. That I did not agree with. But just to have interaction with The Undertaker was kind of a rub. People are wondering if anything is gonna come out of this.”
Teddy Long: “At the end, you gotta understand this business. At the end, what Undertaker did to him wasn’t to kill him [Bron Breakker]. What Undertaker did to him was to establish him and let everybody know, ‘This is the guy.’ That’s why that Chokeslam came in. That was his initiation. Not to kill him. So that was absolutely great. That didn’t do nothing but make him stronger. I’m telling you, that’s his initiation. That’s the way Undertaker is saying, ‘You’re the guy.’ Not to kill him. That was initiation. That was the best thing that could ever happen to him.”
The Undertaker appearing during the show was the perfect closing shot for NXT as they went head-to-head with AEW Dynamite last week. We’ll have to wait and see what’s next in store for The Phenom.
