Revealed: The Original Plans For The Undertaker at Netflix RAW Premiere was Not A Segment with Rhea Ripley!
But the original plans for The Undertaker at the Netflix RAW Premiere was quite different and he was not meant to appear to congratulate Rhea Ripley for her Women’s World Championship win.

"Sot they hit me with it, like originally I was going to do an entrance and an interview which would have been fine. I think they had somebody that was going to interview me and then they just thought that would make that whole thing even bigger for her, I guess the rub.” Said the former seven times WWE World Champion.

He continued, “When they told me at first, I was like, I don't think so, and I was like dude that's her moment. Like I don't want to step on any part of that. I mean this is the payoff to a very long storyline and I said, I sure don't want to come out and step on her moment." Concluded the WWE Hall of Famer.

The reason behind this change is not much cleared but the shortage of time may be the biggest possibility behind it. They spent one third of the show in the first segment and Solo Sikoa vs. Roman Reigns. The Hulk Hogan segment was also pretty unnecessary. Penta’s debut and the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament final was also postponed due to shortage of time.
