The Undertaker, the legendary Phenom, recently dropped a bombshell on his podcast, suggesting that fellow WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels may have been, shall we say, overlooked during the historic Raw on Netflix premiere. While the January 6th episode was a star-studded affair, with legends and current superstars gracing the stage, HBK's absence was conspicuous. The Undertaker, who made a surprise appearance after Rhea Ripley dethroned Liv Morgan, hinted that Michaels might have been, well, forgotten.

On his podcast,
Six Feet Under, The Undertaker, the legendary Phenom, recently revealed that fellow WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels might have been, let's say, overlooked during the historic Raw on Netflix premiere.
He said, "Shawn was there. I don’t think Shawn was on the show. I think he was supposed to be in the crowd sitting with Stephanie [McMahon], and no one came and got him, or something like that. He was just sitting in his dressing room when his spot came up to be in the crowd.”
The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Bruce Prichard, three of the key figures in the early days of Raw, shared a nostalgic moment backstage. They reminisced about the first-ever episode of Raw and discussed how far the show had come.
“We all took a picture together because we were the only three that were on the original Raw and the Netflix deal.”
