Among those present backstage was WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker, who hasn’t appeared on TV since WWE LFG’s first season, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans. The show drew over 10,000 fans in person, with the English broadcast on YouTube amassing over a million views. Commentator Corey Graves was praised for his work alongside Konnan.

The rise of characters like Mr. Iguana shows WWE’s willingness to innovate, which could reshape future wrestling entertainment for the better.
