The Undertaker is arguably one of the most influential stars in the history of professional wrestling. His gimmick has inspired a lot of other stars who have taken up characters with darker elements with some horror elements. A former 5-time Women’s Champion paid tribute to the Phenom at a recent WWE Live Event. The star in question is none other than the Role Model Bayley who faced Roxanne Perez at a WWE Live Event in Birmingham.
The Undertaker is one of the most recognisable names in the world even among non-wrestling fans. His gimmick transcended the sport itself and has become a common part of the pop culture scene over the last few decades. The Phenom isn’t just popular due to his in-ring prowess but also the certain details he added to his character. Taker retired from in-ring competition in 2020 after defeating AJ Styles in a Boneyard match in the main event of WrestleMania 36 Sunday.
Several parts of the Undertaker’s character are iconic to this day including his slow walk to the ring, rolling back his eyes along with his signature way of pinning his opponents. At the recent WWE Live Event in Birmingham, Bayley paid tribute to the Deadman by attempting his signature pin on the Judgement Day’s Roxanne Perez. She eventually ended up winning the match infront of a hot English crowd.
It is great to see an accomplished star like Bayley pays tribute to the Undertaker at a live event.The Undertaker hosted a special edition of his Six Feet Under podcast with John Cena as the guest ahead of WrestleMania 42. During the interview, Cena showered immense praise at the Deadman by highlighting his major role in the company during the 90s. Cena’s words made the Deadman tear up infront of the camera.

That number and that math gets really small when you know what it takes to get the company through tough times. You saved this company, it was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was on the verge of folding. It’s main characters were gone, it needed identity, it was working four TVs in Allen town, you guys were working Bingo halls in no attendance. You really had a topic shift, like you had a content shift, everything and you stuck it out. Like, and you could’ve gone elsewhere,” said Cena.
Fans loved to see the Cenation Leader serenade the Phenom with so many compliments. Both stars were a staple in WWE and are heroes to many fans.
