3 Ideas The Undertaker pitched and 3 he initially rejected

#4 The Undertaker initially rejected Shane McMahon’s Hell in a Cell jump

The Undertaker defeated the returning Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 32, but the major story from the match involved McMahon’s leap from the top of the Hell in a Cell structure.

Towards the end of the 30-minute match, McMahon attempted to send The Undertaker through the announce desk after launching himself off the top of Hell in a Cell.

The Undertaker moved out of the way, meaning McMahon landed directly on the announce desk.

Writing in an ESPN article in 2020, Vince McMahon’s son revealed that The Undertaker did not want him to perform the high-risk stunt.

“He was not a proponent of me jumping off the cage. Not taking anything away from Mick Foley, but this was the new Hell in a Cell. This was bigger, substantially higher. Mark [Calaway, The Undertaker] would say there were other things we could do, different iterations. But I told him no. This is what the story needs.”

Unlike the Mick Foley match, this Hell in a Cell moment occurred after a large chunk of the WrestleMania 32 encounter had already taken place.

Moments after McMahon’s leap, The Undertaker hit him with a Tombstone Piledriver to pick up the victory.
