The Undertaker recalls losing the WWE Championship
During a recent episode of Six Feet Under, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker shared a surprising anecdote about losing the WWE Championship to Steve Austin just 36 days after winning it.
The Undertaker revealed that Vince McMahon had a sudden change of heart and decided that Steve Austin would take back the title on TV, despite the initial plan.
The decision to switch the championship back to Austin was delivered during a tense meeting with The Undertaker, Stone Cold, Triple H, and Kane. The Undertaker expressed his shock and the pressure that was placed on him to make the change.
A Difficult Decision
Vince McMahon had a preference for a babyface champion, which led to The Undertaker feeling the weight of the decision and the disappointment from his fellow wrestlers.
The pressure was intense as McMahon made it clear that The Undertaker wasn’t getting the job done as champ, leading to the abrupt decision to have him drop the title that very night.
Even Triple H expressed his sympathy, acknowledging that The Undertaker didn’t deserve the treatment he received during the meeting.
