The Undertaker isn’t afraid to throw hands, and if he ever stepped in the ring with GUNTHER, things wouldn’t stay professional for long.
On a recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer admitted that he and the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion wouldn’t be able to keep things clean—it would turn into a straight-up fight.
“We could fist fight. As much as I love him, as much as I love watching him work and everything he does, we’d fist fight,” Undertaker said. “He’d hit me, by the second time I’ll be like, ‘Alright, let’s go.'”
Taker has been a longtime admirer of GUNTHER’s style, seeing him as a throwback to the tough, no-nonsense era he came up in. Their paths crossed backstage at WWE Raw on January 6, where Undertaker made it clear that The Ring General is someone he would have loved to test himself against in the ring before retirement.
While that dream match will never happen, GUNTHER has his hands full with another major opponent. Jey Uso is set to challenge him for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 after winning the 2025 Royal Rumble. Uso has already lost to GUNTHER three times, but he’s hoping the biggest stage in wrestling will be where he finally pulls off the upset and captures his first World Title.
The idea of The Undertaker and GUNTHER going to war is something fans can only imagine, but it’s clear Taker respects what the champion brings to the table—even if it would end in punches being thrown.
