Triple H’s recent remarks about talent transitioning to WWE from other companies sparked controversy, with many interpreting his words as a jab at wrestlers like Will Ospreay, who opted for AEW over WWE. Now, The Undertaker has weighed in on the discussion, aligning himself with Triple H’s perspective while dismissing theories of WWE intentionally stifling outside talent.
During an episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker echoed Triple H’s sentiments regarding talent from other promotions potentially struggling to adapt to WWE’s style. He emphasized the importance of understanding and conforming to WWE’s framework for success:
“Somebody asked Triple H about other talent coming in from other places. It was so true, but I never heard anybody really say it. There was a time like back in the day when guys came in from WCW and were big stars in WCW, and not such big stars when they got to WWE. Of course, people always want to point fingers, ‘There was this vendetta.’ That’s just crap.”

The Undertaker highlighted the need for acclimation to WWE’s system, suggesting that success in other promotions doesn’t guarantee success in WWE without adjustment and adaptation.
Additionally, The Undertaker dismissed the notion that WWE deliberately holds down talent from outside organizations due to personal biases:
“Why on earth, that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Why would you waste anyone’s time just to bring them in, just to hold them down? It’s ridiculous, it’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. You don’t bring people in to hold them down. You bring people in to make the product better.”
