In a recent interview with Nightcap, The Undertaker touched upon a bevy of topics. When asked if there was anyone whom he perceived as a “Young Undertaker,” he did not have a pick from the current budding crop of talents. ‘Taker serves as a mentor for both LFG and AAA Lucha Libre.
Stating that the late Bray Wyatt was the closest successor to his “Deadman” persona, ‘Taker moved on from the topic of athletes who could potentially follow his footsteps in terms of character. However, he put over the rising talents, calling them future stars.
