Undertaker Opens Up On Falling Out With Vince McMahon Because Of Starrcast

The Undertaker has opened up on pulling out of his signing at Starrcast II, and how Vince McMahon reacted to him first accepting the appearance.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Last Ride on the WWE Network, Undertaker revealed that he and McMahon had a little falling out and didn’t speak for a while because he initially was going to appear.

He explained how it went down before he pulled out:

“I started working with a social media group that was trying to get my name out there [for] exposure, endorsements, and doing some other things. I’d agreed to do an autograph signing in Las Vegas. It wasn’t pitched to me that the other company (AEW) had a show that was running right parallel to this autograph signing. I was oblivious. I wouldn’t be keeping up with what was going on or anything like that.

“Vince calls me like, ‘what are you doing?’ ‘I’m doing a signing.’ He goes, ‘Well, yeah. But, you got all these people thinking you’re going to do this.’ That’s stupid. Anybody that knows anything about me, knows that I’m not going to a different company. I’ve been here forever. I ain’t going anywhere. I’m not going to jump ship to go to [AEW]. Well, why would I? Vince and I had a little bit of a falling out over it, and I understand where he was coming from. He’s got a business to run. I understand his position. But I also had a position of my own that needed to be understood. We didn’t talk for a little while and then we both let our guard down enough to talk and then we got things worked out. It’s all been sunshine and rainbows since.”
