The Phenom is expanding his post-retirement presence in ways that would make his legendary WrestleMania streak jealous. WWE has rolled out the red carpet for The Undertaker’s digital ventures, launching a dedicated YouTube channel that puts the Hall of Famer’s storytelling prowess front and center. This move signals WWE’s recognition that ‘Taker’s voice carries as much weight today as his tombstone piledriver did during his in-ring prime.
From Independent Venture to WWE’s Digital Crown Jewel
The centerpiece of this digital expansion remains “Six Feet Under,” the podcast that Undertaker co-hosts alongside his wife and fellow Hall of Famer Michelle McCool. What started as The Deadman’s personal project has evolved into a flagship offering within WWE’s podcast ecosystem.
The company made the strategic decision to bring the show in-house earlier this year, transforming it from an independent endeavor into part of WWE’s official programming lineup. Now, with its own dedicated YouTube platform launching November 19, “Six Feet Under” joins the ranks of premium WWE digital content.
Fans can expect fresh episodes to drop every other Wednesday, giving wrestling enthusiasts a regular dose of insights from one of the industry’s most respected veterans.
WWE Executives Recognize The Undertaker’s Natural Broadcasting Gift
Steve Braband, WWE’s head of digital, didn’t mince words when discussing why The Undertaker has found success behind the microphone. The executive’s assessment reveals just how naturally the transition from ring to recording studio has been for the legendary performer.
“It comes very naturally to him, just sitting and talking about wrestling especially, and telling stories. There’s nobody better than ‘Taker. It’s been super fun. We’ve had really good success over the course of the relaunch of [the podcast].”
This endorsement from WWE’s digital leadership demonstrates the company’s confidence in The Undertaker’s ability to draw audiences even without stepping between the ropes. The podcast now sits alongside other major WWE digital properties, including WWE Champion Cody Rhodes’s “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” and Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?”
The Deadman’s Expanding Role Beyond the Podcast Booth
While “Six Feet Under” represents his most visible digital presence, The Undertaker’s current WWE involvement extends far beyond podcast hosting duties. His mentorship role has become increasingly prominent across multiple WWE platforms and partnerships.
Coaching the Next Generation
On “WWE LFG,” The Undertaker showcased his ability to develop emerging talent by coaching Tyra Mae Steele to victory in the women’s competition. This coaching success demonstrates that his legendary psychology and ring awareness translate effectively to talent development.
His regular appearances on “WWE NXT” have provided crucial validation for rising stars like Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans. These endorsements from The Phenom carry significant weight in establishing credibility for the next generation of WWE superstars.
International Wrestling Partnerships
The Undertaker’s influence has also crossed promotional boundaries through his involvement in AAA show production. This collaboration began when the lucha libre promotion strengthened its working relationship with WWE earlier this year, positioning The Deadman as a bridge between different wrestling cultures and styles.
A Digital Legacy That Matches His In-Ring Legend
The launch of The Undertaker’s dedicated YouTube channel represents more than just another digital platform – it’s WWE’s acknowledgment that certain legends transcend their active careers to become institutional voices. With his natural storytelling ability and unparalleled wrestling knowledge, The Deadman is proving that rest in peace doesn’t apply to his entertainment value. Will this digital expansion eventually lead to even bigger on-screen roles for the Hall of Famer, or is WWE just getting started with maximizing The Undertaker’s post-retirement potential?
