WWE Raw results and live blog for April 22: Undertaker in London

WWE Monday Night Raw comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (April 22, 2013) from the O2 Arena in London, England, featuring the return of Undertaker. And he's even working a match!

Indeed, "The Deadman" is booked to align with Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) in a six-man tag team match against The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns). There's no telling if this is simply going to be the match/angle that writes 'Taker off television for the next year or so, but we'll see.

Also set for tonight's show is Triple H answering Brock Lesnar's challenge for a steel cage match at Extreme Rules.

NOTE: Spoilers for the show will be available online for anyone who wants to know what happens before the show airs but the comments section here should be kept SPOILER FREE.

Come right back here at 8 p.m. ET when the Raw live blog kicks off once the show starts on USA. It will be below this line here.
