‘The Undertaker Thinks I’m A Big Idiot’ Says NXT Star After ‘Embarrassing’ Interaction

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker is being teased for the October 10 episode of NXT, and Gigi Dolin has reflected on past interactions.

Tomorrow night’s episode of NXT goes head-to-head with AEW Dynamite’s Title Tuesday special and will feature appearances from John Cena, Asuka, Paul Heyman and Cody Rhodes.

WWE hasn’t officially said the Undertaker will be there, but his “gong” sound playing as part of an ad for the show is pretty much confirmation.

During her appearance on Drinks with Johnny, Gigi Dolin spoke about past encounters with the WWE Hall of Famer, saying:

“So, Undertaker’s mine and my brother’s favorite wrestler of all-time, we love him to death. Even my dad’s favorite wrestler.

“First time I get to meet The Undertaker, I was at a — where were we at? I think we were at a Special Olympics event and we were up in a little suite area just by ourselves and I went up to meet this man and I just started bawling my eyes out and I couldn’t get words out and they’re just trying to explain to him that he’s my favorite wrestler and I’m just sobbing.

“Yeah, that was my first for The Undertaker and then the next day, he saw me at the Performance Center and tried to come up to me and create small talk with me and then I continued to say something just dumb and awkward and I’m pretty sure The Undertaker thinks I’m a big idiot now so, that’s my Undertaker story.

“I don’t think so (I’ve not run into him since then). I think that was the last time I saw him. I’m pretty sure after I was crying, introducing myself to him, I’m pretty sure Shawn (Michaels) was in the corner laughing, because Shawn knew I was a huge fan of Undertaker and I’m pretty sure he was laughing at me while I was sobbing and embarrassing myself, meeting The Undertaker.”

In the same podcast interview, she would also reveal that a suggested character name was rejected due to a link to a serial killer.

Along with Jacy Jayne, Dolin has been a two-time NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion having signed with WWE in January 2021.
