The Undertaker was spotted alongside former WWE owner Vince McMahon at Super Bowl 2025, marking a rare public appearance for McMahon, who resigned from TKO Group Holdings following allegations of sex trafficking.
During an interview on Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker addressed his decision to attend the event with McMahon, acknowledging that it would likely draw criticism but standing by their long-standing friendship.
“I was his guest, yeah. Look, I’m gonna get hate for that. People are like, ‘Oh you guys were so close, you know what happened,’ I’m like ‘I don’t know what hasn’t been done, we don’t talk about those things.’ But he is a friend of mine. First off, he gave me an opportunity to make something of my life and become something. Through the course of all of those years, we became friends. After my father passed away, he was a father figure, he was a brother, he was a mentor.”
“I don’t know everything that’s happened, what’s gone on, and I’m not the judge on this case. There’s only one judge, that’s the man upstairs. He’s gonna give us all whatever we deserve in the end, and that’s what it is. I think people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones … I don’t have to agree with everything that people do, but it doesn’t change the fact that I love somebody, and I’m friends with somebody.”
