It is reported that the Deadman will play a pivotal role in the face-off between former Universal Champion Bray Wyatt and LA Knight, and prior to his magnum opus return, the Undertaker tweeted about his first day at Raw.
“From being in the main event of the very first episode and everything that followed, it’s been a wild three decades!
Can’t wait to celebrate 30 years of #WWERaw! #RawisXXX”

The flagship event will feature two title matches: the Usos will defend their WWE RAW tag team title against The Judgment Day, while Bobby Lashley will square off against Austin Theory for the US title.
Other than these, there might be a segment for all bloodline members to recognize Roman Reigns, which was referred to as the “Acknowledgement Ceremony,” but WWE deleted all the graphics regarding this segment from their website, so it seems that the promotion might have removed the segment, and from insider information, it is known that there will be a segment with Sami Zayn instead.

One fan even suggested the Undertaker come out as the American Badass rather than the Deadman.
“It would be awesome to see you come out as the American Badass instead of the deadman. That version of your character doesn’t get nearly enough love and it makes me sad.”

One fan reminded everyone of the history of the Lord of Darkness’s life and cited him as a “GOAT.”
