After the return of Shane McMahon to WWE last week, the entire landscape of WWE and Wrestlemania was impacted. However, one of the key members of the storyline – The Undertaker – has yet to make his voice heard.

That ends on Raw tonight, as the Undertaker is confirmed to be live on the show. How will the Deadman response to being assigned to the Hell in a Cell match against Shane McMahon?
