When news broke that The Undertaker was launching a podcast, wrestling fans were shocked simply because it was believed his old school attitude to kayfabe would oppose this. Still, he has since made it a massive success, and due to WWE and Fanatics’ podcast partnership, which produces “What’s Your Story?” hosted by Stephanie McMahon and “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” hosted by Cody Rhodes, “Six Feet Under With the Undertaker” has become a WWE property.

Yet while from a business perspective it makes perfect sense, it has seen The Undertaker’s former co-host, Matthew Lyda, replaced by Michelle McCool. And now, while speaking to wrestler-turned-YouTuber Maven, Lyda has talked about being told the podcast was moving and that he wouldn’t be involved going forward.

“He’s like, ‘hey, you know, the podcast is going to be taken over by WWE.’ And that’s what, you know, we’re moving that direction … it’s actually an upgrade for him, right, to get rid of me. He and I talked for a little bit more. I go outside with him, he’s at his truck, and he just looked at me and he goes, ‘We good?'”Matthew Lyda

The Undertaker’s podcast was initially called “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway,” which demonstrated WWE had no involvement. Subsequently, the YouTube channel associated with the show built up 761,000 subscribers, and episodes with Mark Henry, The Godfather, and Kane all achieved over 1 million views. However, his episode with Donald Trump is the one that truly made headlines, as it took place during the lead-up to the 21024 American presidential election, and arguably played a small part in helping determine the next leader of the US.
