The Undertaker Sends Cryptic Warning to Top NXT Star

After officially hanging up his boots in 2020, The Undertaker has become somewhat of an elder statesman role around WWE. When he pops up on programming, he's always reliable for an easy pop, and his icon status helps give a rub to any performer he interacts with.

The best part of "The Deadman" is his ability to evoke emotion with his promos—when he talks, everyone listens. Recently, Undertaker made a surprise appearance on NXT and gave one of the brand's top stars a staunch warning.

During a backstage segment, Undertaker confronted NXT Champion Oba Femi and gave him a cryptic warning. "Big man, I've said it before, this is your yard now," Undertaker said. "This is your yard for now. Just so you know, I've got some guys from LFG, and they're going to be coming for you really soon."

"This is your yard... for now."

At just 27 years old, there isn't a rush for Femi to elevate to the main roster, but there isn't much more he can accomplish in "developmental." As of right now, the main event scene at the Performance Center has gotten a bit repetitive, with Jevon Evans being the only name who could realistically dethrone Femi in the near future.

Getting some LFG talent in the fold could do wonders for the depth of the roster, and a guy like Anthony Luke has all the tools to be a perennial title threat. This is a perfect way to use a legend such as The Undertaker, who is helping breathe importance into a storyline that could use a kickstart.
