3-time champion to turn babyface for the first time in his career? Exploring why The Undertaker thinks it will happen 

Since The Undertaker retired from professional wrestling, he has been spotted making public appearances and also has his podcast, Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway. On the podcast, Taker discusses various topics related to his career and professional wrestling in general.

On the latest episode of his podcast, Undertaker was joined by his Brother of Destruction, Kane. During the podcast, The Deadman said that a current champion in WWE needs to bring about a change, or he will turn babyface. The champion who needs to bring a change is World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.

At first, The Undertaker was appreciative of Gunther as a wrestler. However, he also added that Gunther might risk turning babyface. He said:

“I like him (Gunther). I think he’s kind of a throwback to a different era. As painful as those chops look… you think he’s beating you down and which he is without doing a bunch of aerial attacks. It’s nice to see somebody grind somebody down and yeah, I think he’s gonna have to be careful… he needs to add a little more, I think, chicken sh*t to his repertoire or he’s gonna become a babyface much sooner than he expects. That’s just the way it is now." [07:00 - 08:15]

Until now, Gunther has not been a babyface in WWE. However, even as a heel, the Austrian superstar has managed to make the audience cheer for him due to his phenomenal ability inside the squared circle.

The Undertaker also spoke about the only time he was involved in an argument with Kane

The Undertaker and Kane will go down as one of the most legendary tag teams in WWE history. Between 1998 and 2018, the two superstars teamed up more than 100 times and won the WCW Tag Team Championship and the WWF World Tag Team Championship.

On and off-camera, Undertaker and Kane shared a great bond. However, on the above-mentioned podcast, The Deadman spoke about the only time when he got into an argument with Kane.

He said:

"He always volunteered to sell and give me the hot tag," The Undertaker said. "The only argument that we ever had was on the times where I wanted him to get the hot tag. He was like, 'They pay to see your hot tag and you get your hand raised.' I said, 'No, man, it's a team deal.' He goes, 'I sell, you make the comeback.' That's how unselfish he was." [31:16 – 31:50]

For those unaware, a hot tag is the moment when a wrestler, who is usually getting beaten up, tags in his partner, who has been waiting on the ring apron for a long time. The popular wrestler usually receives the hot tag, and then he or she goes on to dominate the proceedings, which receives a huge cheer from the fans.

In the case of The Undertaker and Kane, it was usually Taker who received hot tags. However, it's heartwarming to know that Taker wanted Kane to be the man receiving a hot tag, and it's equally heartwarming to learn Kane wanted to be selfless and put The Deadman ahead.
