In an interview on “Open after nightfall,” The former WWE former champion has thought about his meeting with the “Absolute” and shared his impressions of him.
“I train in this gymnasium, and I notice this kid every day. Says nothing. Really respectful,” recalls The Undertaker. “As the training took place, we needed different observers and a different help.

He surprised the world of WWE with a shocking appearance in the February 11 edition of “WWE NXT”. This week, Saints made his first match as part of a tag team with Je’Von Evans against Ethan Page and Wes Lee.
