The wrestling and political worlds collided when The Undertaker, WWE Hall of Famer and host of the Six Feet Under podcast, welcomed former U.S. President and 2024 Republican nominee Donald Trump for a high-profile interview.
While the unexpected crossover generated significant buzz among fans and media alike, it also sparked controversy over some political remarks made by The Undertaker during the episode.
In the aftermath of the podcast release, many online speculated that the interview stirred mixed reactions within WWE’s locker room. However, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, while the podcast triggered disagreement among some individuals, there is no indication that The Undertaker’s decision to host Trump caused any significant internal conflict within WWE.
“There are a lot of people that disagree with it. That’s just the nature of politics in general. But I haven’t heard anyone in WWE that are mad at him over it,” Sapp explained during a Q&A session.
This measured response suggests that, while the podcast appearance might have sparked political disagreements—something expected in today’s polarized climate—there is no evidence of any major backlash within WWE against The Undertaker for his guest choice. WWE has long maintained connections with the political world, and Trump himself has a history with WWE, having appeared in various capacities, including at WrestleMania 23.
Fans remain divided over The Undertaker’s interview with Trump, but it seems the locker room is taking a more balanced approach, recognizing that political differences are inevitable, particularly when public figures delve into hot-button topics.
