The Undertaker reveals he has given advice to "special" WWE RAW star
The Undertaker was a prominent WWE locker room leader during his time as an in-ring performer. Despite having hung up his boots and his WWE Hall of Fame induction, The Phenom continues to advise the new crop of talents.
According to the legendary wrestler, Ludwig Kaiser was "special" and the latter could find success in the near future as a solo performer. He believes Kaiser has been in Gunther's shadow for too long, but things are about to change.
Speaking on his podcast Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, The Undertaker revealed he was high on Ludwig Kaiser. He further went on to talk about meeting up with the German wrestler backstage during WWE RAW after SummerSlam and giving him some advice. The legend noted that he was a "special" talent and that had a great future ahead of him.
"You know who I had a nice long talk with while I was there, actually it was Monday, it wasn't SummerSlam, it was Monday in Austin at RAW, was Ludwig Kaiser. I'm high on him too. Obviously Gunther's a little bit further along, but keep an eye on Kaiser. I think he's gonna be special. I had a long talk with him. [...] He's just been waiting for his opportunity because he's been in the shadow of Gunther," The Undertaker said.
Ludwig Kaiser recently opened up about the upcoming Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event, stating that he would most definitely compete on the show. However, as of this writing, he has yet to be booked in a match for the August 31 spectacle.
Ludwig Kaiser on Giovanni Vinci's exit from Imperium on WWE RAW
Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser's main roster run commenced in April 2022 as a unit. But a few months later, Giovanni Vinci joined them at Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales.
In April 2024, though, Kaiser brutally attacked Vinci. The Ring General approved this move immediately afterward. Since then, the remaining members of Imperium pursued singles runs. Speaking to SPOX about ending his long-time partnership with Vinci, the 34-year-old stated that it was "sorely needed," and that he wanted to concentrate on his singles run to fulfill his dreams.
"Yes, it was even sorely needed. [...] I have to concentrate on myself, that’s the way it is in wrestling. There is always a compromise in a team. You can never do what you want. I was always convinced that I would do everything to become a big name in WWE. Even in view of my father’s legacy, it was important for me to do my thing alone. You also saw it immediately. Within a few weeks, my stock has risen extremely," he said.
