00:00Folks, there you see CM Punk, set for action, and he better be ready.
00:03He's about to go face-to-face with a dead man.
00:07The rejuvenated dead man.
00:12What must be going through that man's mind?
00:15Bad thoughts.
00:30Bad thoughts.
01:08Bad thoughts.
01:30Bad thoughts.
01:41Ladies and gentlemen, this is the season premiere of Friday Night Smackdown on SyFy.
01:47You are looking into the eyes of the most phenomenal athlete in the history of WWE.
01:53The seven-time world champion.
01:56The mysterious, the mythical, The Undertaker.
02:04He is the man that strikes fear into the man who will be facing, no matter who it is.
02:09Tonight, it's CM Punk.
02:11On Sunday, it'll be his brother Kane for the World Heavyweight Championship inside.
02:16Hell in a Cell.
02:30That striker over the past week, The Undertaker has seen different.
02:34And it all has to do with the return of Paul Bearer.
02:38Explain to us that relationship.
02:40Well, there's a legend about Paul Bearer.
02:43He lived in a funeral home and evidently had an affair with a woman.
02:47The demon seed that was born to that woman was the World Heavyweight Champion, Kane.
02:53The woman in question, The Undertaker's mother.
02:57Inside of that urn is where The Undertaker draws his power.
03:01What's in that urn?
03:02It's certainly not Aunt Sophie's team.
03:05Could it be the mother's ashes?
03:06Could it be the ashes of the funeral home that Kane burned down as a child?
03:11Whatever it is, it certainly ignites the dead man.
03:18It could be the ashes that are symbolic of all of The Undertaker's victims, of all of mankind over the
03:24past 20 years.
03:26The question, though, Todd and Matt, that we have here in front of us tonight is, is it just Hocus
03:31Pocus?
03:31Or is it real?
03:33Is The Undertaker going to return to the state we saw him at, at WrestleMania, when he retired the great
03:38Shawn Michaels?
03:39It's real to me. Todd, you're a fan. You've been a fan all your life. What are you expecting from
03:44The Undertaker on Sunday?
03:45Well, The Undertaker, 18-0 at WrestleMania. He faces off against his brother, Kane, and now watch it. CM Punk,
03:51not resting on his laurels.
03:53Well, let's not lose sight. CM Punk is a three-time World Heavyweight Champion, and CM Punk and The Undertaker
03:58are engaged in battle in the Hell in a Cell.
04:00And Undertaker, the power and strength of the phenom. It has been a while since we've seen that. The look
04:06on Punk's face says it all.
04:07This is a rematch from a few weeks ago, a match that, quite frankly, Punk dominated at times, but things
04:12have certainly changed here tonight.
04:15And I want you guys to get a look at the eyes of The Undertaker. Scary, eerily frightening, as we
04:21glanced into them here at ringside.
04:23This is a perfect opponent for The Undertaker, two nights away from Hell in a Cell, because CM Punk is
04:29vicious and manipulative, much like Kane.
04:32The Undertaker, an institution here in the WWE. You'll be able to see him every Friday night, right here on
04:37SyFy, and a big butt drop by The Phenom.
04:41That is vintage Undertaker.
04:44The near 300-pounder, a seven-time World Champion, and already tonight you can feel it.
04:51The sense of Paul here in the arena in Oklahoma City. It already feels like The Undertaker's different.
04:57And if you want the supernatural, look no further.
05:00The cover here. Undertaker, this is completely a different outlaw than what we saw a few weeks ago at Night
05:07of Champions, when The Phenom faced off against his brother Kane.
05:10And what we saw at Night of Champions was Kane going through every single thing The Undertaker could deliver before
05:16beating his brother.
05:18And Paul Bearer, perhaps, makes the difference as Undertaker goes to the top row.
05:23Oh!
05:27Look at the sinister look on Paul Bearer's face.
05:31The Undertaker, who's been in ten Hell in a Cell matches, will make it 11 this Sunday.
05:39Oh, remember where Undertaker first met his brother Kane.
05:42It was at Hell in a Cell, the first ever, back in 1997.
05:4713 years ago.
05:49And you know Kane is watching all this right now, wondering exactly what his brother will have in store for
05:55him in Dallas.
05:56And that is a very important time for Undertaker.
05:58For the first time he's on defense in this matchup, can he recover?
06:01Does he have the recuperative powers?
06:02Well, The Undertaker's greatness has always been he's able to take more punishment and dish out more punishment than any
06:08superstar.
06:09What a high knee by Punk, who's dishing out plenty punishment of his own now.
06:13But again, perhaps that earn is just mythical.
06:16Perhaps this is fiction and not fact here tonight.
06:18Well, if it is a placebo, but it does inspire The Undertaker, then honestly, what does it matter if you're
06:23an Undertaker fan?
06:24Oh, uh-oh!
06:26There he is!
06:27He's back!
06:28And what a better place than live on SyFive!
06:31Now look at Undertaker back to his feet to see if Punk have some offense left.
06:35Look out, ladies and gentlemen.
06:36Punk dunk in a clothesline.
06:38Can't avoid that one as The Undertaker.
06:41Looks like The Undertaker we saw at WrestleMania.
06:43Todd, you and I discussed this the other night.
06:45The Undertaker is quick.
06:47The Undertaker is agile.
06:49Oh, and remember a few weeks ago, Punk was standing toe-to-toe in the middle of the ring,
06:53trading shots with The Undertaker, but not tonight!
06:56Oh, steak eyes!
06:58Boom!
07:00And remember, Sunday, he's going to be locked inside that 20-foot-high, 5-ton, Hell in a Cell.
07:05Cover here by The Undertaker.
07:07Both shoulders down, and Punk able to get his shoulder up.
07:10Hell in a Cell, so devastating, steel surrounds you as the hand comes high!
07:16You want to talk devastating, watch this!
07:19Undertaker!
07:20Remember, Punk is a three-time world champion in his own right!
07:24Up and down!
07:25It doesn't matter!
07:25Seven feet in the air!
07:27Hide your wife!
07:28Hide your kids!
07:29The Undertaker's back!
07:30As he glances back to Paul Barron, the power surging through the veins of The Undertaker!
07:39The Phenom!
07:40Unlike anything we've seen in recent past here, Undertaker, Punk in trouble!
07:46CM Punk upside down!
07:48Is this the fate that awaits Kane Sunday night at Hell in a Cell?
07:53Tombstone, Piledriver, goodnight, CM Punk!
08:01He's back!
08:02Here is your winner, The Undertaker!
08:07Whether it's psychological, whether it really is something mythical and mystical inside that
08:14urn, it doesn't matter!
08:15Because tonight, ladies and gentlemen, it brought The Undertaker back to the place where he needs
08:21to be!
08:21And in two nights, it'll be brother versus brother!
08:24But let's not lose sight!
08:26The World Heavyweight Championship hangs in the balance!
08:30Can you imagine?
08:31Let's just think about this, Bruce said, you guys, on Sunday.
08:34Can you imagine what The Undertaker's going to be able to do to his opponent Kane when
08:38he's locked inside a cell?
08:41This is what Kane must deal with!
08:44It is that power!
08:45It is the macabre!
08:46It is the deep, dark soul of the man known the world over as the Deadman!
08:53The Undertaker, in the business of destroying souls and business, was good tonight!
09:04The Undertaker was impressive, but how impressive will Kane be later on tonight when he takes
09:10on John Cena with Nexus surrounding the ring as Lumberjacks?
09:15But folks, sit back!
09:17And just watch and listen!
09:19The Undertaker is back!
09:22And perhaps better than ever!
09:28It's...
