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.

He's pulling an x PAC I guess. I was rewatching the attitude era recently and around 2000 you can tell fans are sick of xpac and his unexplainable, constant pushes. People started with xpac sucks chants then went to angry boos, and then settled on indifference and people getting up to go to the washroom during his matches.

Xpac was mid card at best, but kept getting tossed into main events with the Rock, triple h, angle, etc. Matches he had no business being in but was there cause he was the kliq's little pet

Also, Jericho is kinda starting to remind me of Hogan. The old guy who is hogging air time, despite fans being sick of his shit, and refusing to go away or give up the spotlight. Which is funny cause that's the kind of old wrestlers that Jericho used to complain about in wcw, now he's that guy

The sole differences (with the rest being accurate lol) being that Jericho is at least sharing the spotlight. He may be hogging the tv time but he's also giving Bryan Keith and Cass some things to do and they've been solo showcased several times while being part of this storyline/with Jericho. That and Jericho isn't forcing himself into the main event/title picture.

He desperately wants his TV time and doesn't wanna go away but he could be worse. We could have an announcement for Jericho vs Mox next week for the title lmao.

Yeah I think the comparison between Jericho & Hogan/X-Pac isn't quite right. As you note, rather than being an old passed it being pushed as the main event, he's an old passed it being pushed as a feature mid-carder. He's definitely not my cup of tea and he's on TV more than I would care for but it could be a lot worse.
