Undertaker vs. Rusev (Casket Match)

In a stunning turn of events, The Undertaker will battle Rusev in a Casket Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27.

Originally, the Casket Match was set to be between the two Superstars, but Lana asked for The Bulgarian Brute to be removed from the grisly bout, and he was replaced with Chris Jericho, as The Ravishing Russian expressed concern over her husband taking on The Demon of Death Valley. And for good reason.

After all, the Casket Match undoubtedly belongs to The Undertaker, as The Deadman has claimed victory in several of these harrowing contests, wherein a Superstar only wins when he gets his opponent into the casket and closes the lid.

However, now it appears that Lana’s faith in the tremendous ability of her husband has won out, and she has changed her mind. She explained, via tweet, that WWE officials have granted her request to allow Rusev to compete against The Phenom at the Greatest Royal Rumble event,

Rusev is a world-class Superstar, but does he have what it takes to overcome The Undertaker at his own game? Find out which of the two iconic Superstars will walk out and which will be carried out in a casket at the Greatest Royal Rumble event on Friday, April 27, at 7 p.m. AST. The event streams live on the award-winning WWE Network with a tune-in time of 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT, and with a special, one-hour Greatest Royal Rumble Kickoff starting at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT.

Spoiler: Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho (Casket Match)

Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho (Casket Match)

In a stunning turn of events, The Undertaker will battle Chris Jericho in a Casket Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27.

Originally, the Casket Match was to be between The Deadman and Rusev. However, Lana, who originally showed public support for her husband competing against The Undertaker, recently tweeted second thoughts over The Bulgarian Brute competing in the grisly bout.

The Casket Match undoubtedly belongs to The Undertaker, as The Demon of Death Valley has claimed victory in several of these harrowing contests, wherein a Superstar only wins when he gets his opponent into the casket and closes the lid. Although Jericho has never been a part of such an ominous showdown, WWE’s first Undisputed Champion has battled in virtually every other kind of match WWE has to offer, and if his extensive résumé says anything, it’s that he knows how to win when it counts.

The Deadman and Y2J are no strangers to one another. They have competed side-by-side, including the epic Team WWE vs. Team Alliance Match at Survivor Series 2001, as well as against each other, including the Elimination Chamber Match in 2010 where Jericho overcame The Phenom to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.

I needs me a women like Lana who'll stick up for me like she do her mans on Rusev Day.

At least now Rusev doesn't have to worry about getting buried in a casket match.

Damn I just saw the news the continued disrespect of Rusev when he's one of the most over guys in the company. Jericho vs Taker has been done, would of been dope to see Rusev get a nice rub from Taker with a great Match with a Hall of Famer in a losing effort.

While I agree Rusev is criminally underused for a guy as over as he is, he also tweeted at WWE to bury him softly.

I mean who wouldn't want to want the honor to be buried by Taker though lol.

 

[Keith]

Talk about easy money for Jericho. What a fucking waste though.

 

[Cwalker]

So...apparently Rusev is back in

 

[Crippler]

Some Arab prince probably threw a stack at Vince and told him to change it back

 

[Deezy]

15 seconds and it's over.

 

[Chris]

This whole saga has been amazing tbh

 

[Dale]

Jericho probably did some heinous on twitter like calling him an old man.

I believe he did actually. He called Taker an old man to mock Rusev, but I think he deleted it hours later.

 

[Chris]

If taker ends up having another feud come mania time next year he's definitely gonna get called an old man and Rusev is gonna angry tweet about it from Japan or something
