Backlash 1998
The night after WrestleMania on RAW, The Undertaker arrived in a horse-drawn cart. With a cocky smirk on his face, The Deadman claimed that he put an end to John Cena 24 hours ago. He then said that everyone in the arena has a look of denial on their face. Denial that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Undertaker stated that Cena was sent to Hell and that the devil called. He thanked The Phenom for his actions and said that more bad people will be tortured and will suffer and Undertaker was the man who made it possible. RAW General Manager Jonathan Coachman came out and said that all this hokey-pokey crap has to stop. The fans cheered greatly for that. Coachman announced that Cena will be cleared to compete at Backlash, and Undertaker will face him that night-in a Steel Cage Match! The next week, when Undertaker was facing "Rowdy" Roddy Piper the lights went out. When they returned, Piper was nowhere to be seen and John Cena was in the ring, attacking The Phenom. The Chain Gang Soldier then asked the cage to be lowered, assaulting Undertaker into the steel and busting him open. A few weeks later, during Cena's promo with Randy Orton, The Demon of Death Valley came and attacked him along with The Viper. Piper came out to make the save, but was attacked as well. The show ended with Undertaker and Orton standing over their Backlash opponents.
