He went to the Hall of Fame ceremony with the intention of fighting.
Prior to WrestleMania 30 in 2014, WWE presented their annual Hall of Fame ceremony. The inductees that year were: The Ultimate Warrior, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, Lita, Paul Bearer, Carlos Colón, Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) and Mr. T was included in the celebrity wing.
It was at the ceremony that Roberts and Warrior hashed out past issues they had. Roberts spoke to Jonah of Rewind Recap Relive and stated that he was not expecting to patch things up with Warrior. He went there with the intention of fighting.
Felt really good, man (to bury hatchet with Ultimate Warrior at 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony). Felt really good. I didn’t see that coming. I went there with all intentions of having a fight, and I was looking for him at the time. Then he tapped me on my back, I turned around, he started apologizing, and he’s saying how bad he felt about what he’d done and knew that it cost me millions. Cost me a lot of money, man.
It was just so sad, you know, what happened the next day. Yeah, it was really sad. For his children to be there seeing that, just horrifying… It was bad.
Warrior was inducted into the Hall of Fame, appeared at WrestleMania 30 and then gave an in-ring speech on the proceeding episode of Monday Night Raw. He passed away the following day.
