Speaking to Bully Ray on Busted Open After Dark, Undertaker detailed the surprise coming together.

"None," Taker replied when asked how much Triple H knew. "It was such an inside job. It just reaffirms that if you want to, you can still kayfabe and keep surprise people. If you can pull the wool over Triple H in the WWE offices, to be able to pull the wool over Triple H, who has his hands in everything, I was proud and honored because it was him and I have so much history with him. To be able to pull that off. You have Shawn coming from Atlanta. I'm coming from Austin. To get from those places without people knowing anything. To get to the office while they are on stage and doing the Town Hall. To get to Gorilla position and look at Stephanie [McMahon], who is there to have lunch after. Her looking at me like, 'Why are you out here?' She's thinking I'm there to promote LFG. He was in such a bad position with the Hall of Fame. He's the decision maker. He can't put himself in there. People are going to shit all over that. It had to be done. It was so stealthy and well done. Nick called Shawn and me, we put a plan together, the plan was implemented to perfection and it caught him off guard," said Undertaker.
