The WWE icon, The Undertaker has been officially inducted into the 2022 Class of WWE Hall of Fame by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Over his illustrious career that spanned more than three decades, he has achieved multiple accomplishments. He has squared off against numerous high-profile athletes and the list also includes the former WWE star, Bray Wyatt.
Bray Wyatt opens up on The Undertaker
The former WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt had squared off against ‘The Phenom’ at WrestleMania 31 in 2015. The Eater of the Worlds had suffered a loss at ‘The Shows of Shows’ but managed to make an impression on Taker. Wyatt took to Twitter Friday (April 1) to pay his respects to The Undertaker ahead of the latter’s Hall of Fame induction. The former WWE champion said it was an honor sharing the ring with the soon-to-be Hall of Famer.
Paying my respects to @undertaker
The word legend is thrown around a lot these days, but no one owns that title as The Deadman does. It was an honor every time I stepped in the ring with him. For my money, he is the best to ever lace ‘em up. I’m happy for you man! Well deserved

The thirty years in the business have been a challenging journey for ‘The Deadman’ and he will go down in the history books as one of the greatest stars in the industry. In a recent interview on ESPN with Joe Tessitore, he revealed the strategies that helped him stay relevant for three decades in the industry:
“I made a decision early on to only give people The Undertaker even when I was in public. Although I wasn’t dressed like I was on TV, there was no doubt that that was the same guy. So, there was never really a variance, like, I’ve been in the airport and people are like, ‘That’s The Undertaker.’ So, I always felt because my character was so over the top, that if I didn’t give it that air of legitimacy, then people wouldn’t accept it and people wouldn’t buy it.”
Wyatt also offered AEW owner Tony Khan the idea to hire him to run the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Tell him I can babysit the Jaguars if he gets too busy.
