Undertaker’s Promo
The Undertaker’s promo at the end of SmackDown 1000 last night was supposed to go on for much longer, PWInsider says, but it was cut down because the show went too long.
Undertaker just ended up saying, “I’ve got three words for you. Rest in peace.”
Mysterio vs. Nakamura Match Also Cut Down for Time
The Rey Mysterio vs. Shinsuke Nakamura match also had to be cut short because of time constraints. Mysterio’s entrance was also hurried.

James Ellsworth was supposed to originally be on the show, but instead, he shot a backstage segment that just aired on YouTube and WWE.com.
