Apparently the Undertaker decided to just stroll by and say hi to LeBron James ahead of Cleveland's season opener on Tuesday.

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

The respect for LeBron comes from earlier this year, when the NBA superstar posted a picture of him wearing an Undertaker shirt ahead of a game in the Finals. The Cavs also used the Undertaker's theme song as the entrance music for one of their home games, a hallmark of the start of their 3-1 comeback in the Finals over the Golden State Warriors.
If you remember, there were concerns a few weeks ago when Undertaker was spotted needed a couple of crutches to walk. From the looks of it, though, he appears to be completely fine.
The Undertaker has been known to go to extreme lengths to protect his character's image, so him appearing in public at an NBA game in character is a pretty big deal. Whether this means Undertaker is healthy or not for a WWE return remains to be seen, but at least it is a positive to see him without the crutches.
Also, we really hope he showed up in Cleveland without telling anyone, and instead just showed up at the security checkpoint with the lights out and his entrance music playing.
I mean, sure, that didn't happen, but we can dream, right?
