*SPOILER* WWE Sends out Cryptic Text Message before Raw.

Around 7:16, Eastern Time, I got a message from WWE Text Updates, a message that went out to every one subscribed to their text messages, that simple reads: "I have risen."

This is the conformation that Undertaker will return on tonight's Old School Raw. What do you think about this text? Should WWE have sent it?

Yeah I got the text. I will say that it makes sense because Taker can help sell Mania and make raw segments highly watched the next couple weeks till April. Plus he is their longest tenured guy returning

Conor O'Brian teased debuting tonight, but I think the text would've said "We" instead of "I" if it was referring to him.

Smart move to hype the return through the App to try to get more people tuning in tonight. Good to know that he is back for yet another WM match, it will be a weird day when WM comes around and he isn't on the card.

Who is Conor O'Brian?

While I dislike Taker quite a bit, I do agree. I don't dislike him because he is a bad wrestler or anything, I don't like the guy because he's old, frail, and his gimmick has been boring and sleep inducing for a while now. That being said, the guy is undeniably a legend, one of the biggest in the industry and the day he decides to leave and the first WrestleMania that doesn't feature the deadman will be a surreal, bizzare one indeed.

It is going to be a massive hole to fill when he does go, he has appeared at close to 75% of all WM's which is just an astonishing number. This is where WWE really need to create some big stars to help fill the gap left by Undertaker. They need marquee matches to send it over 1 million buys each year, maybe we will see HHH having an annual WM match for the next few years.
