During the buildup to the event, several current Superstars paid tribute to the legend in their own way. Some used a blend of ensembles, while others tried to recapture Taker’s essence by using various elements of his character. However, this is not where the celebration ended.

Superstars from the previous generation such as Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, The Godfather, Shawn Michaels, and Savio Vega were present to celebrate ‘The Phenom’s’ legendary career inside the ring. They described their experience with him, along with what it was like to have him backstage.

It’s a great watch for anyone who is a huge fan of the previous generation wrestlers.

The reason this is worth mentioning is because the entire WWE universe has always wanted to witness a match between The Undertaker and Sting. Even Sting wanted this dream match to become a reality. Unfortunately, WWE was not interested.

Now, AEW gives wrestlers and the audience what they want. Therefore, if Tony Khan and co. can be convincing enough, they might get The Undertaker for a special appearance against Sting.
