The zombies were featured prominently by WWE to promote Zack Snyder’s Army of the Undead film which stars Batista. The Animal reacted to the segment, suggesting that fans take their criticisms to Vince McMahon.
AEW’s Chris Jericho recently took a shot at WWE for the use of zombies at WrestleMania Backlash. Booker T has since addressed Jericho’s words.
