The Undertaker made his return to Madison Square Garden on Saturday night where he took part in a 6-man tag match. Taker teamed with Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns to take on Elias, Baron Corbin, and Kevin Owens.

Before the match even started, Elias had a chance to work the crowd where he wore an Undertaker hat and mocked The Deadman by playing Taker’s theme for a second. The song he sang wasn’t about Taker though.

The pop of the night was for The Undertaker as he made his way to the ring. MSG has a shorter walk than most but he used up every second possible to make the most of it for the live crowd.

Reports were that there was a good 5 minutes of cheering and chanting for Taker before the match even started. Taker stayed out of the match until he took a hot tag from Reigns.

If you’re wondering what it takes to get the Big Dog cheered in NYC, it’s tagging in The Undertaker.

Taker was in, and the crowd went wild, but it was bad news for Kevin Owens who took a tag on the other side. KO was soon taking a Tombstone piledriver and the match was over. The Undertaker won the match for his team in MSG.

Just in case you were wondering, yes Roman Reigns was booed extremely heavily by the MSG crowd. This should give WWE an idea how he will be accepted at WrestleMania 35 just across the river.

To celebrate The Undertaker’s return to MSG, they lit the building up in purple which was pretty cool too.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
