The Undertaker has made a lot of headlines as of late. Aside from his political involvement, the WWE legend’s polarizing views on the current scene of professional wrestling have led to widespread debates online. Joining the discussion was none other than AEW personality, RJ City, who recently spoke about Undertaker. 

While speaking on Eyes Up Here with Francine, RJ heaped praise on Toni Storm and her commitment to the “Timeless” character. Moreover, he likened it to Undertaker, who wouldn’t break kayfabe during his wrestling days. That was the only praise that the WWE Hall of Famer received as RJ tore into him for his opinions on the sport.

His show is weird. The guy is weird. He’s a weird man. ‘Back in my day it was a lot better.’ I’m sorry, were you always dead? Did you start off dead? Would you like to explain that?

In addition to his media duties, RJ is credited as the brains behind the well-acclaimed rivalry between Toni Storm and Mariah May.

Undertaker pitted himself, Kane, and Trump against Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Dave Bautista. The latter openly mocked Trump for his hypocritical views on masculinity. However, the WWE legend’s mention of the Hollywood actor gained flack from fans online. 

Days prior to this clip, Bautista had heaped praise on WWE Hall of Famer for helping him overcome his anxiety in his early days of wrestling. Fans are expecting Trump and Undertaker to discuss Bautista’s endorsement of Harris during the podcast.
