Undertaker explains why he’s such a big fan of Gunther, praises Jacob Fatu

Gunther and Jacob Fatu are two of The Undertaker’s favorite wrestlers currently active in WWE.

Undertaker has consistently sung Gunther’s praises on his podcast and in media interviews — and he did so again when SHAK Wrestling asked who stands out to him on the WWE roster. Undertaker explained that he’s impressed not just with Gunther’s work in the ring but how he carries himself backstage as well.

“Gunther, that’s my guy. I love that dude,” Undertaker said. “Honestly, everything that he does — because he’s so different. He’s so different. He can work with anybody, and he does his style regardless. And he’s not a bunch of flippy-doos and meaningless moves that he does. Everything that he does makes sense. He cuts a great promo. He believes in who he is. And in turn, the audience believes that’s who it is.

“And I haven’t really seen him ever where he was that far different than what you see on TV, even backstage. Which, you know me, I appreciate that more so than anything.”

Undertaker also had praise for Jey Uso and Jacob Fatu, saying Fatu is someone who has unlimited potential.

“I like Gunther. Obviously, Jey Uso’s ascent. Jacob [Fatu], he hasn’t even scratched the surface. Dude, he is — I love watching Jacob. He’s got that thing. He’s got ‘it.’ Like, when he’s on TV you want to see what he’s doing. So, again, another one of those who have just scratched the surface of where he has the potential to go.”

Gunther and Uso will clash at WrestleMania 41 this April with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Uso earned the title shot by winning the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble match.

Undertaker is featured as a coach on the new series WWE LFG, which premiered on A&E on Sunday night.
