“The Undertaker Slams Modern WWE Stars: ‘Too Busy Filming TikToks to Respect the Ring!’”
The Deadman has spoken—and he’s not holding back.
WWE legend and Hall of Famer The Undertaker just dropped a scathing reality check on today’s locker room, and his words have fans buzzing. On his Six Feet Under podcast, the Phenom revealed he’s “disheartened” by what he sees when he visits backstage at WWE events—and it’s not the passion for wrestling he remembers.
“I’m an old-school guy. It’s disheartening sometimes when I go to the shows and can’t even find talent watching matches. Most of ‘em are filming TikToks or doing other [stuff],” Taker said. “Back in my day, if you weren’t watching the monitor, it was going to be a bad day for you.”
This isn’t just a grumpy veteran rant—it’s a shot at the very work ethic that built WWE’s greatest stars. The Undertaker made it clear: paying attention to matches was mandatory in his era, and the lack of that now… well, it’s killing the old-school spirit.
The Last Ride—Unless Gunther Calls
The 59-year-old icon has been retired since his cinematic Boneyard Match win over AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. But on his podcast, Taker admitted there’s one superstar who could tempt him back into the ring: Gunther.
“If I had anything left in the tank, you’re the one guy I’d consider coming out of retirement to work with,” he told the Ring General.
Gunther recently lost his World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk at SummerSlam, only for Punk to drop it minutes later to Seth Rollins. And while that rivalry is heating up, the idea of a dream match between The Undertaker and Gunther is now planted firmly in fans’ minds.
Whether or not it happens, one thing is certain—The Undertaker wants today’s WWE talent to put their phones down, watch the matches, and respect the craft that made the business legendary.
