We are back and the gong sounds as the lights go out and the building has a bluish tinge to it along with fire on the stage for the Smackdown return of the Undertaker.
Undertaker says that although he may look dead, he is not dead yet. Taker says that he is still very much the dead man. He says that this is still his yard. He says that there is one thing that he needs to make perfectly clear. That is that he will never pardon the guilty. Speaking of guilty, that brings him to his brother Kane. Kane is guilty of a treacherous betrayal. A betrayal that he will pay dearly for. Taker says that Kane has a diseased soul and that disease has festered and turned into a web of lies. Lies that Kane thinks that he can fill Taker’s boots. The biggest lie of them all is that he thinks that he can carry Taker’s holy grail, the World Title.
Kane’s pyro goes off and he makes his presence known on the stage. Kane says that the only one spinning a web of lies is his big brother. He says that he hears the weakness in Taker’s voice and in his eyes. Kane wonders if he is the one who is diseased and delusional. He wonders if Taker has looked at himself. He says that Taker is not the phenom any more. He is only a shadow of himself. Kane says that he will have no problem dropping Taker on his head like he did at SummerSlam. He tells Taker that he is living in a fantasy world. He is bigger and stronger than Taker and he is now the dominant brother. Kane says that he has nothing left to prove.
Taker tells Kane that there is a reason why Kane walked in his shadow. Taker tries to remember what Kane called himself because his memory isn’t that good these days. Taker remembers and he says that Kane called himself the Devil’s Favorite Demon. Taker asks Kane if he remembers that the house that the devil lives in was built by him, brick by fiery brick. Taker says that when he comes calling, the devil still answers to him with ‘sir’. Taker says that Kane has never been worthy and he never will be worthy. Kane is not worthy to carry that championship. He is not worthy of the power that he steals with the power he inspires. Taker says that most of all, Kane is unworthy of being his brother. Taker tells Kane to listen to him and listen to him good. Taker says that he taught Kane everything that Kane knows about evil, but Taker says that he did not teach Kane everything he knows. He tells Kane that when the mood strikes, he will be waiting. When the fight starts, it will always end the same way.
Kane says that it will not end that way this time. Kane says that they know that this time it ends the same way it did at SummerSlam. It ends with Taker sprawled helpless at his feet. Kane promises . . . no he vows on the grave of their mother that Taker will never rest in peace.
Kane laughs as we go to credits.
