Netflix Cordially Invites You to a WWE-Themed House of Horrors

Did you assume that simply because the Undertaker retired from the WWE final yr—to the extent you consider the Undertaker in any respect—meant the league’s wrestlers wouldn’t nonetheless really feel his steel-like, black leather-clad hand round their throats? Alas for Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston—the trio identified collectively as the New Day—they’ll discover themselves on the wrestling legend’s un-tender mercies in Escape the Undertaker, an interactive horror particular coming to Netflix.

If you watch the trailer, I feel you’ll see that the phrase “horror” has been utilized considerably loosely:

Honestly, it seems ridiculous, and I don’t imply that in a nasty method. The undeniable fact that New Day is attempting to get the Undertaker’s magic urn and the Undertaker appears to have turned his personal mansion right into a pile of deathtraps simply in case anyone ever drops by is nice, particularly as a result of the urn seems prefer it price $14.99 at a Home Goods retailer.

But the WWE and Netflix definitely perceive that Escape the Undertaker is ridiculous (and presumably Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston do as properly, however the Undertaker is anybody’s guess). The official synopsis on Netflix’s YouTube web page asks, “Can the New Day survive the surprises at the Undertaker’s spooky mansion?” No one makes use of the phrase “spooky” to explain something scary anymore.

It’s additionally an incredible premise to obtain one in all Netflix’s interactive remedies. If you could have watched one earlier than, resembling Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, the varied Bear Grylls adventures, or its many, many child choices, you already know they’re simply choose-your-own-adventures you management along with your distant or touchpad or no matter you’re watching on. You’ll get to determine if Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston stay or die on October 5, when Escape the Undertaker premieres on Netflix.
