WWE legend The Undertaker has addressed criticism surrounding his recent public appearance with former Chairman Vince McMahon at the Super Bowl.
McMahon, who has largely remained out of the spotlight amid ongoing legal battles, was seen attending the event alongside his son Shane McMahon and The Undertaker. Their outing sparked backlash due to McMahon’s legal troubles, including a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Undertaker defended his presence at the event, making it clear that he was simply a guest of McMahon. While he acknowledged the controversy surrounding his former boss, he insisted that he has no knowledge of the situation.
“Look, I’m gonna get hate for that. Listen, I don’t know. I don’t know. People think, ‘Oh, you guys are so close you know [everything.]’ I don’t know what has been done, what hasn’t been done. We don’t talk about those things, right? But he is a friend of mine.”
The Hall of Famer’s comments highlight the difficult position he finds himself in, maintaining a personal friendship with McMahon while navigating public scrutiny. Despite distancing himself from any involvement in the situation, his association with McMahon has still drawn criticism from fans and wrestling insiders alike. As McMahon continues to face legal challenges, his once-close allies—both in and out of WWE—are being scrutinised for their continued support.
