Finally, Undertaker’s ‘brother of destruction,’ Kane, made his return to the WWE ring after a long time. He was wearing his “Big Red Monster” attire. A video package followed.

After the video package was over, we saw WWE’s chairman, Vince McMahon, standing in the ring alone. Vince talked about Taker’s iconic 30 years in the company, striking fear in his opponents and entertaining a global audience in WWF and WWE.
