WWE legend known as The Undertaker cut his own election promo in a video posted to social media on Friday after pro wrestling star Dave Bautista, known as Bautista, took shots at former President Donald Trump earlier in the week.
The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Callaway, was seen on a video next to his former WWE colleague Kane, the current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, and Trump and addressed potential voters about their options come Election Day.
“All right everyone. November 5th – ElectionMania. The choice is yours. You can go with President Trump, Kane and The Undertaker or you can take Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista and Tim Walz. Choose wisely – the nation depends on it,” Callaway said in a TikTok vieo.
“And that should be an easy choice,” Trump added.

The Republican presidential nominee’s appearance with the wrestling greats came after Bautista made a video firing shots left and right at Trump as he expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for president.
“Fellas, we gotta talk,” Bautista said in part. “A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. I mean, look at him, he wears more make-up than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. The guy is afraid of birds. Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his little feet hurt, so he could dodge the draft. Look at that gut. It’s like a garbage bag full of buttermilk.”
His rant was accompanied by various related images and clips of Trump during his presidency and campaign.
In a comment to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back, calling Bautista a “stone-cold loser” and mocked his WWE career.
I got over wrestling in the early 90’s when I learned it was fake. I also learned not to raise people on TV up to be heroes or mentors because they always disappoint. Unless it was a journalist, they were pretty good back then. But yea, fake wrestlers doing performative politics is just another show.
Did you know movies and tv shows are “fake” too? Actors are “fake” , but we don’t call them that just to be derogatory. It’s weird how people like to shit on wrestlers. I haven’t watched regularly in 20 years and I never thought it was anything but scripted. But I’ve seen guys die in the ring, so it’s kinda fucked up to call it fake.
I guess it would be like going up to a stunt man and telling him he takes fake hits as if there’s no pain, risk, skill or hard work involved
Yea and I don’t watch that shit either. Movies? TV? streaming? All a waste of time and money. Getting light exercise is way better than holding up dying, lazy, boring industries. I get happiness from doing things. Going to actual shows in ampitheaters. Exercise. Interacting with real humans.
Look, fake is probably harsh. Performative. That’s about it.
Realising the outcome was predetermined gave me a new level of appreciation for what they do in the ring.
