The Undertaker, known for his iconic presence and legendary career in WWE, has truly accomplished a lot in his career, but there were instances where even he was surprised by a particular spot. One such spot became virtual and The Deadman admitted that it was not planned.
WWE fans witnessed one of the most shocking moments in history when Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak in 2014. The Phenom sought revenge on The Beast during his match against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at Battleground 2015, attacking Lesnar and setting the stage for further conflict.
Back in SummerSlam 2015, Lesnar and The Undertaker faced off once more. During their intense match, there was a notable moment where Lesnar menacingly laughed at The Deadman, who responded with an equally chilling chuckle before the battle escalated. In a controversial twist, the WWE Hall of Famer emerged victorious over the 46-year-old star.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, The Undertaker reflected on his battle with Brock Lesnar. The Undertaker revealed that Lesnar had mentioned the laugh before their match, but he hadn’t fully grasped its significance at the time and admitted that the viral spot of him laughing after The Beast Incarnate was genuine and not really planned.
“That was Brock. So we talked a little bit about that match and he ran it by me but I don’t think I was paying enough attention to what he really wanted to do. So when he did it, I was almost taken aback a little bit like what the freaking hell are you laughing at that? And then it kind of dawned on me what he was doing. And then I laugh back at him and it’s yeah, it’s become kind of an iconic deal but yeah, if I’d have been paying close enough attention I’d probably go ‘Yeah, I don’t know if I want to do that.’ But the way it worked, it worked out fine.”
The Deadman also recently inked a new legends deal with WWE and admitted he had a very bizarre backyard wrestler gimmick. Regardless, that moment will forever be etched into WWE history and that’s all that matters.
