WWE legend Mark Callaway, famously known as The Undertaker, made headlines on Friday when he posted a video promoting former President Donald Trump in the lead-up to the upcoming elections.
This video comes in response to comments made earlier in the week by fellow wrestling star Dave Bautista, who had criticized Trump while expressing his support for Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
In the video, The Undertaker stood alongside his former WWE colleague Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs and who currently serves as the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.

The duo addressed potential voters, urging them to consider their choices carefully as Election Day approaches.
“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 stated in the TikTok video.
Trump, who appeared between Jacobs and Callaway, added, “And that should be an easy choice.”

Trump’s appearance with wrestling icons is notable, as he is a WWE Hall of Famer himself, having participated in several high-profile events, including early WrestleMania shows.
One memorable moment was his involvement in a “Hair vs. Hair” match alongside Vince McMahon and the late wrestler Umaga.
The Undertaker’s endorsement follows Bautista’s scathing remarks about Trump, where he painted the former president in an unflattering light. “Fellas, we gotta talk,” Bautista began in his video. He suggested that many men mistakenly perceive Trump as a “tough guy,” stating, “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.”
Bautista went on to criticize Trump’s draft dodging, claiming, “Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his little feet hurt, so he could dodge the draft.”
Bautista’s commentary was accompanied by images and clips of Trump during his presidency and campaign, further amplifying his critique.
I wrote this cause it’s what I always wanted to say about Trump pretending to be a tough guy. But we got the amazing @DaveBautista to say it SO much better. Thanks Dave. #TrumpIsAWeakLittleBabyBitch pic.twitter.com/Mo4ZMpOPVH

In response to Bautista’s comments, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung dismissed the actor’s statements. “President Trump is a WWE Hall of Famer. Dave Bautista is not, because he is a stone-cold loser who was unprofessional and took his ball home when he refused to put over younger talent,” Cheung remarked. He added that Bautista returned to WWE and “found out quickly that he couldn’t wrestle and has no mic skills whatsoever.”
The exchange between the two wrestling stars underscores the increasingly intertwined relationship between politics and pop culture, particularly as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
As the election draws nearer, both candidates will continue to seek support from influential voices within the entertainment industry to mobilize voters and secure their positions in the competitive political landscape.
