The Undertaker says this is personal and talks about the friendship between Triple H and Shawn Michaels. He says he 
took the best both of them had for 20 years and put both of them down. He says HBK is backing Triple H because Taker ended his career. Shawn says he is a man of his word and has stayed retired no matter how many times he has been asked to come back. He says he has stayed retired because he is a man of honor and integrity who respects The Undertaker.

Michaels says he has been hounded for years to have one more match and he has turned down millions of dollars each time out of respect for The Undertaker. The Deadman asks if it's respect or fear keeping him away. He says if Michaels came for him again, he would put him down just like last time. He vows to put down Triple H once and for all before leaving the ring. - is this a tease for the last match between Undertaker vs. Shawn at WrestleMania who wouldn’t want to see that? That would be epic and it should be the last of Undertaker if it does happen what a way to end such a career.
