WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker has taken a massive shot at AEW, calling it a "second rate company" and told MJF to leave the promotion immediately.

During an Q&A session at his "1 deadMAN" show in Glasgow, Scotland in July. The Undertaker was asked which current wrestler he would like to face. The Deadman chose MJF, but not before taking a dig at Tony Khan's promotion.

Undoubtedly, this choice raised eyebrows, as The Undertaker had spent the majority of his illustrious career in Stamford-based promotion. The Deadman didn't mince words when he referred to AEW as a "second-rate company" and suggested that MJF should "hurry up and leave."

AEW has been WWE's biggest competition in recent years, and the two promotions were involved in a ratings war, which AEW won after the Wednesday night war against NXT.
