Wrestlemania 31 results: Undertaker beats Bray Wyatt in his return


The Deadman isn't totally dead yet.


The Undertaker is back, and not just to lose to fresh talent. He looked like himself at WrestleMania on Sunday, defeating Bray Wyatt in his first match in a year.


This feud has been different than the others, with Undertaker conspicuously absent from WWE TV. Wyatt started calling out Undertaker months ago, pretended to be the deadman by coming to the ring in a coffin to his music, and repeatedly stated that he was the new face of fear in wrestling. Undertaker eventually accepted Wyatt's challenge for a match by taking over the lights at Raw, striking Bray's rocking chair with lightning and putting a message on the TitanTron.


Because Undertaker hadn't been on TV, there was always a faint possibility he wouldn't show. He took a while to come out, but finally did, and looked like a perfectly terrifying and fit version of himself when he did. He started the match by hitting Wyatt with a huge boot, and both got plenty of blows in early.


Taker got Hell's Gate locked in on Wyatt, but everyone's favorite swamp cult leader was able to punch his way out of it. He then hit his slam to senton combo, but Undertaker kicked out. Wyatt then went for Sister Abigail, but Undertaker countered with a chokeslam.


Taker slashed his throat, picked up Wyatt for the tombstone and hit it, but Wyatt shockingly kicked out of the move. The Phenom looked stunned, then collapsed out of a combination of disbelief and exhaustion. He then went for a second tombstone, but Wyatt countered into Sister Abigail. This time he connected, but Undertaker kicked out to reverse their roles.


With both down on the ground, Wyatt got up first, bridging into his spider pose. But Taker sat up and gave Wyatt a death stare, stunning the young man poised to take his spot, and the two started trading punches.


Wyatt appeared to get the better of it and set up Taker for Sister Abigail, but Undertaker countered, hit Wyatt with a second tombstone, and pinned him for the win.
