Legendary WWE star The Undertaker, who has held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship seven times, has faced off against some of wrestling’s biggest names like Batista, Rey Mysterio, and CM Punk in title defenses. However, in a recent podcast interview, The Undertaker revealed that he actually prefers the thrill of chasing the championship rather than just defending it.
For The Undertaker, the storyline of the chase holds more intrigue and enjoyment. He enjoys the challenge of almost capturing the title only to encounter obstacles that prevent him from claiming it, such as competing in brutal Cage or Hell in a Cell matches. While he takes pride in his title reigns, he believes that his character’s legacy did not hinge on holding the championship.
The Undertaker’s perspective on chasing the title resonates with the journey of Cody Rhodes, who spent nearly two years vying for the top prize in the company before culminating the story at WrestleMania 40.
