Undertaker Reveals What He Told Bray Wyatt at WWE’s RAW 30 Show

A recent episode of Sportsnet’s Tim & Friends podcast had WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Undertaker’s thoughts on the comparisons between his legendary character and Bray Wyatt’s “Eater of Worlds” character. Undertaker also revealed what he had quietly told Bray Wyatt on camera during this past January’s RAW 30 show.

“There’s, obviously, a huge amount of comparisons between his character and mine. He’s his own guy. He’s his own character. I don’t think it’s fair to him to compare what he does to what I did. In the big scheme of things, it’s in the same supernatural genre, but it’s 2023, and he’s doing his own thing, but I can appreciate — I can see what he’s trying to do. I just let him know, too, that my phone’s always on, and if he needs to talk to me about things or run things by me, that’s cool. I would be more than glad to share my experiences with him and hopefully shine some light on questions that he has moving forward. So yeah, it was a cool moment, and it did exactly what I thought it would do.”
