One who has followed the matches and the performances of The Undertaker would know that he never made such frequent public appearances before. It might also be surprising for many to see him tweet like any commoner, as he stayed away from social media for most of his career.
But The Undertaker has been making public appearances more often after his retirement and is able to fully express himself as he is no longer bound by the kayfabe elements of WWE. This newfound personality of the legend must be exciting for the fans to encounter.
