The Deadman has risen, and he’s ready to take any Cleveland Cavaliers opponent for a last ride.
The Cavaliers open their NBA title defense Tuesday night at Quicken Loans Arena against the New York Knicks, and they apparently are going all out for the huge night.
WWE legend The Undertaker is at the arena, where he met multiple Cavaliers players before the big game.

If you’re wondering why The Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior’s wife Dana Warrior showed up for opening night, you’re probably not alone. But it turns out there’s a pretty simple explanation.
Undertaker told me he's here because LeBron wore his t-shirt prior to Game 5 of the Finals. No previous relationship, just a mutual respect

Lebron should wear WWE shirts at media days more often. Playing like the Undertaker at Wrestlemania right now pic.twitter.com/mA3HgGOFzp

James also has been seen in an Ultimate Warrior shirt.
Remember LeBron James wearing these shirts? Well, The Ultimate Warrior's widow and The Undertaker are at the Cavs' ring ceremony tonight. pic.twitter.com/6Xc9FbJqff

And James isn’t the only WWE fan in the Cavs’ locker room.
