Teddy Long recently recalled meeting WWE legend The Undertaker in the hotel lobby in Philadelphia before they left for this week's RAW XXX.

The Phenom was involved in a memorable segment on the Monday night show. He had a passing-of-the-torch-like moment with Bray Wyatt as he uttered something in his ears before walking out of the ring.

As for Teddy Long, he showed up during D-Generation X's segment, where he booked Imperium against Seth Rollins and The Street Profits in a six-man tag team match.

Though they didn't have an on-screen interaction, Long and The Undertaker, who went a long way back, did have a chat before the show. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast hosted by Mac Davis, Long revealed he met The Phenom in the hotel lobby before the show.

The former SmackDown General Manager added that he thanked The Deadman for letting him be a part of his incredible journey in the wrestling business.

"Yeah, me and Taker, we spoke at the hotel. I saw him yesterday morning in the lobby, we were getting ready to leave for the arena. I got a chance to talk to him and I said, 'Sorry, they didn't have me at your Hall of Fame but I do want to let you know I appreciate everything you've done for me and I appreciate you for letting me be a part of your journey,'" said Teddy Long.

It reminded me a lot of the Attitude Era. A lot of segments they did were kind of like the Attitude Era. Really enjoyed myself.
