In an interview with BT Sport, Drew McIntyre brought up how he was originally planned to face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26. Instead, Taker took on Shawn Michaels.
Here is what he had to say (H/T to WrestleTalk.com):
“When I was 24 I was told by Vince McMahon, ‘you don’t listen to anybody but the Undertaker, he’s going to be your mentor and whenever you’ve got a question you go straight to him’. And the inevitable goal was to have a big match between him and I. Unfortunately I wasn’t ready at the time, things worked out the way they worked out, and I believe it led to, instead of myself and Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Undertaker, the retirement match. It was obviously a phenomenal match and I could not have delivered on that level at the time.”
