<P> By his return in May 2000 , The Undertaker had taken on a drastically different identity from before , as he abandoned the somber mortician - themed attires , his funeral dirge ring music , allusions to the supernatural , and the accompanying morbid theatrics . In place of this , he took on a biker identity , riding to the ring on a motorcycle , and wearing sunglasses and bandanas to the ring . His entrance music was replaced with popular rock songs of the time , like Limp Bizkit 's `` Rollin ' ( Air Raid Vehicle ) '' and Kid Rock 's `` American Bad Ass '' ( from which the name of The Undertaker 's new gimmick originated ) , though it was accompanied by the characteristic opening bell of The Undertaker 's original theme . </P>
