Casket Match
Undertaker vs. Big Show
Druids came out and brought a casket to ringside in that creepy blue light with that chanting they've used for some of Taker's entrances in the past.
Big Show worked Taker over early with body shots, and they quickly went to the outside. Show continued to hammer away with body shots and he started positioning a table for a table spot. He tossed the announcer's chairs out of the way and Taker nailed Show with a botched monitor shot before following up with a second monitor shot that connected. Show was face down in the table and Taker did a flying leg drop onto the back of Show's head from the other announce table, taking Show through the table. Taker then put Show back in the ring and followed.
While the match is still somewhat young, there is a surprising lack of heat, which seems to be common for Taker PPV matches lately. Show regained the advantage and was able to get Taker in the casket and walked to the middle of the ring. The referee's yelled at Show, telling him he would have to close the lid himself. Show was hesitant in wanting to close the lid, then finally went to but Taker was able to get out.
Big Show then went to start climbing the ropes, but Taker got his feet and grabbed Show by the throat when Show had gotten to the second rope, and hit him with a chokeslam. He then kicked Show in the head, which caused him to roll outside into the casket. Taker went to close the lid, but Show was able to block.
Show quickly recuperated and hit Taker with a chokeslam in the ring. He then went outside the ring and knocked the casket over, and proceeded to turn it completely over. Someone needs to explain the rules to show. Show then started to walk away smiling and Taker chased after him. Before Show could get to the back, flames went off on the stage, stopping him. He started attacking the Undertaker and then the creepy music was back on and druids brought out another casket to the top of the stage. Show stood the casket up and drover Taker head first into it, knocking the casket down. He stood it back up and opened it. They traded blows and Taker started getting the better of it and tossed him into the casket, which fell over with Show in it and closed on its own to win the match.
Winner: The Undertaker
