Mark William Calaway, widely known as The Undertaker, revealed that he would like to face AEW World Champion MJF. The WWE legend’s statements were revealed by another wrestling legend and podcast host, Jim Cornette, on his podcast. While discussing MJF and The Deadman, Cornette said that the 58-year-old would love to face MJF, and even hailed the persona of The Devil.
He said, “Recently attended The Undertaker’s One Dead Man Show here in Glasgow Scotland. In the QnA part of the show, he was asked who from any company that is currently wrestling would he have liked to have faced in the ring. The answer he gave was MJF.”
He continued further, “Talked him up as a future star and loves the fact that he is solid in the ring and lives his gimmick.” In fact, Cornette also laid bare that the WWE legend threw shade at the promotion. He said, “Also took a shot at AEW, referring to them as a second-rate company which MJF needs to hurry up and leave.”
Everyone knows the fact that The Undertaker never shilly shallies on speaking his heart. He might have done the same while hailing the AEW star and bashing the promotion. In fact, this was not the first time for Tony Khan to get surrounded by concerns. Previously, AEW’s blunt claims were exposed by the local UK government concerning the attendance record at AEW All In. However, The Undertaker’s claims were not novel for Khan since The Game also had something to say about his promotion. But what did he say?

It was in July when WWE released the documentary about Cody Rhodes. While sitting in on an interview back then, Paul Levesque (also known as Triple H) laid bare the thoughts of Rhodes when he transitioned into the WWE promotion.
