Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is set to appear on WWE legend Undertaker's podcast, reports suggest. The news was first revealed by Alex Isenstadt of Politico on Oct 18.
Trump recently called off a few campaign events and pulled out of television appearances, including an interview with 60 Minutes and a slot on NBC.
Isenstadt says that Trump is instead gearing for the "bro" vote and so has decided to ahead and do the podcast with Undertaker, titled Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway podcast.
"Trump is expected to do an interview this week on the Undertaker podcast, which is hosted by retired wrestling great Mark Calaway, per person familiar," Isenstadt wrote on X.
Trump is trying to woo young male voters, as per reports, and so has decided to do the interview with Undertaker.
The former president has a colourful history with WWE.
Trump once hosted WrestleMania IV at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. At the time the hall was advertised as Trump Plaza. He hosted the event again next year.

Later, he became a regular face in the crowd of audience. Believe it or not, Trump even engaged in a full-fledged fight challenge with the then-WWE CEO Vince McMahon. But he did not enter the ring and instead chose ECW Champion Bobby Lashley.
This happened during WrestleMania 23 and the Battle of the Billionaires. Vince McMahon challenged Trump to a "hair vs. hair" match, which called for the loser to shave his head. Umaga represented McMahon while Lashley fought it out for Trump.
Trump and Lashley won the challenge and Vince McMahon had to shave his head. The former president was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. Other celebrities in the coveted halls include Pete Rose, Kid Rock, and William Shatner.
Another wrestling great, Hulk Hogan endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention. He tore off his shirt in a show of support revealing a vest with Trump and his running mate JD Vance's names on it.

He called Trump "a real hero" and said, "Somebody took a shot at my hero, and they tried to kill the next president of the United States. Enough was enough," referring to the assassination attempt at him in Pennsylvania.
"And I say, let Trumpmania run wild brother, let Trumpmania rule again, let Trumpmania make America Great Again," he added.
Trump even blew a kiss at Hogan.
