In the thumbnail that also had The Brahma Bull on one side, the 58-year-old was seen making a shocking reaction, and that’s what fans didn’t liked. As the WWE universe wasn’t happy to see the veteran doing something like this they started trolling him across social media.
Mocking the WWE legend for using such a thumbnail for his new video, someone from the audience wrote, “He’s a proper YouTuber now lol.” “Please don’t do the dumb as* shocked face,” another member of the community commented to bully Taker amid this controversy.
The extent of the backlash against the legendary in-ring worker was a bit too much. In fact, it was so high that it forced The Undertaker into changing his thumbnail on his YouTube channel. Fans have taken note of this, but it remains to be seen if the legend speaks up on this matter in the near future or not.
Fans have often expressed their disappointment over The Undertaker’s YouTube career
The Phenom changed the thumbnail of his latest YouTube video after the recent backlash from fans. But, it’s not the first time he’s faced such a reaction. In fact, the WWE universe has often expressed disappointment over The Undertaker’s career as a YouTuber. A major reason behind the outrage from them is Taker’s iconic character in the promotion.
As most of the pro wrestling enthusiasts remember him for his trademark trench coat and hat, his work in his original identity doesn’t really excite them as much as they want. Even though this is what a lot of people in the community feel, the veteran continues to make videos, and make a great career by sharing his experiences on the platform.
When did The Undertaker last appear in WWE?
The Deadman hasn’t been seen in WWE since a long time, and a lot of fans wonder when he last appeared in the company. In terms of in-ring competition, Taker’s last match took place back at WrestleMania 36 against AJ Styles. But after this, he has made several non-wrestling appearances.
Following his victory against Styles, the veteran appeared at Survivor Series 2020 and received a special farewell. His next appearance was on April 1, 2022, when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, after which he also made his presence felt on the entrance stage during both nights of WrestleMania 38.
After this, The Phenom was seen on TV on January 23, 2023, as he took part in the special RAW is XXX episode to confront LA Knight. In fact, it was the same episode on which he had his iconic interaction with Bray Wyatt. It wasn’t his last appearance in the company, as The Deadman was last seen in WWE on NXT’s October 10, 2023, episode.
Even though the iconic pro wrestling figure hasn’t made an appearance in the Triple H-led promotion for months, But Taker recently made a surprise appearance to unveil the Riyadh trophy in Saudi Arabia. As it’s been long since the Stamford-based promotion’s fans saw The Undertaker in the wrestling organization, they want him to make a return soon. Thus, it remains to be seen when he finally makes an appearance.
