Trump 2024 Campaign Divides the Pro-Wrestling Community

The pro-wrestling community is once again at the center of political controversy as Donald Trump’s potential 2024 presidential campaign is causing a stir among former WWE stars.

It has been over a decade since Trump last appeared on WWE programming, but his recent campaign activities have reignited the involvement of retired wrestlers in the political arena. In a recent video posted on Truth Social, Trump is seen standing alongside WWE legends the Undertaker and Kane, urging viewers to “choose wisely” between him and Kamala Harris in the upcoming “Electionmania.”

This summer, Hulk Hogan made headlines by endorsing Trump during the Republican National Convention, while Dave Bautista took a jab at the former president, calling him “a weak, tubby toddler.” The Undertaker is also reportedly set to have a sit-down interview with Trump on his podcast.

Before his foray into politics, Trump had a long history with the WWE, hosting events at his hotels, feuding with then-CEO Vince McMahon, and even being inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame. WWE alumni supporting Trump’s 2024 bid include Hogan, McMahon’s wife Linda, Kane, and musician Kid Rock.

In a recent interview, Trump expressed concerns about the perceived attack on “manhood,” a sentiment echoed by former WWE star Tyrus. While the WWE has shifted towards a more family-friendly image, Trump’s macho persona still resonates in the world of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is a frequent guest.

The polarizing effect of Trump’s potential 2024 campaign is evident in the reactions from both supporters and critics within the pro-wrestling community. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Trump’s involvement will impact the world of wrestling and beyond.
