Donald Trump will reportedly be grilled by The Undertaker this week after agreeing to appear as a guest on the WWE legend’s podcast.
Trump, 78, is ramping up as much media coverage as possible ahead of next month’s presidential election, when he will battle it out with Kamala Harris for the top White House job.
And in his bid to get the better of Harris and reassume the presidency, the Republican leader will look to win over the wrestling community when he joins The Undertaker – whose real name is Mark Calaway – on his ‘Six Feet Under’ podcast.
According to Politico Reporter Alex Isenstadt, via @WrestleOps, Calaway is set to interview Trump on his podcast at some point this week.
The former president – who doubled down on attacking Kamala’s race this week – has a long history with the WWE after featuring at several shows amid his close relationship with co-founder Vince McMahon.
He even played a key role in a storyline at WrestleMania 23 back in 2007, getting the better of McMahon in a Battle of the Billionaires contest which led to the ex-WWE chief having his head shaved.
The two billionaire moguls remained friends of the years and were even pitted against each other for a storyline in 2007.
McMahon and Trump both selected a WWE star to represent them with the loser having their head shaved.
Bobby Lashley won on behalf of Trump – beating McMahon’s pick of Umaga – with the ex-WWE’s boss going bald live on pay-per-view.
McMahon’s wife Linda has also joined Trump’s office in 2017, spending two years as his Administrator of the Small Business Administration.
Trump – a WWE Hall of Famer – is now attempting to join Grover Cleveland as only the second US president to serve two separate terms.
Undertaker meanwhile retired in 2020 as one of the greatest and most popular WWE wrestlers of all time.
Wrestling great Hulk Hogan also appeared at the Republican National Convention over the summer to endorse him.
However, Trump clearly doesn’t have the support of everyone associated with the world-famous wrestling promotion.
Former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista took aim at the American tycoon and mocked him as weak and overweight in a video on Jimmy Kimmel’s show this week.
‘Is he the strong Alpha Man many voters believe him tr be? Not according to one of the toughest guys I know.
