The Undertaker ruled the WWE ring for decades as he developed his “Dead Man” persona and put the fear into any of his opponents that would step up to him.
Those days are a thing of the past and The Undertaker has since switched his role from fearsome in-ring competitor to one of the creatives behind the AAA promotion in Mexico.

The WWE legend has been among the minds behind AAA’s rise to prominence on the pro wrestling scene. Nattie, a legend in her own right, praised Undertaker for the creative direction he’s undertaken at AAA.
“’Taker is the man. Everybody loves working for ‘Taker. That’s why I think everybody that goes there like Chelsea Green has gone on the record saying, ‘I want to work for ‘Taker.’ She said she would text ‘Taker and ask him please let me do AAA,” she told OutKick Dropkick. “And same with Roxanne (Perez), I know she wanted to do AAA.
“‘Taker has really elevated that promotion, along with Jeremy Borash who helps Undertaker run AAA with the family that had run it before WWE stepped in – they still kept management, they still kept people, they still kept the family. But ‘Taker has been involved, WWE has been involved, Jeremy Borash – they just elevated it.”
Nattie noted that The Undertaker is different creatively from a Shawn Michaels, who helps run NXT, and Triple H (Paul Levesque), who is the Chief Content Officer for WWE.

“And so, the coolest thing about Undertaker is that his style is very different as a booker. It’s very different than Shawn Michaels. It’s very different than Triple H. But it doesn’t mean that any one of them is better than the other,” she said. “It just means that ‘Taker has a different style.
“He loves aggression. He loves intensity. He loves selling. I like to say ‘Taker kinda loves violence. He’s just such a cool boss. He’ll give us advice, he’ll give us feedback but he also gives us support and encouragement and he really believes in us. And that’s so important. And he’s communicative. He was helping me for my entrance for last year’s Triplemania. He was helping me with different ideas. He’s the man.”
