2025 will go down in history as the year when WWE began its era on Netflix, with Monday Night Raw becoming the first wrestling show to be exclusively and internationally streamed on a streaming platform. The first episode of this new era was promoted as a major event, something that was evident both in the ring and behind the scenes.

As is customary in exceptional cases, the company's talent was gathered to receive a motivational speech. In this case, Mark Callaway (The Undertaker) was the chosen person for this, as Cody Rhodes recalled in a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

"I think the last time someone spoke to the whole group was when The Undertaker talked about Raw on Netflix and what that meant. I think it's great, because some of the younger ones may not have seen it, they may not know who The Undertaker was as a wrestler in the ring, and for him to explain how important it was that this was happening... it was one of those moments where you felt like breaking through a brick wall," Cody said.

After retiring as an active wrestler in 2020, The Undertaker has dedicated his time to other projects, many of them related to wrestling. In addition to his podcast and his show "UNDERTAKER 1 deadMAN SHOW," Callaway also serves as a coach at WWE LFG. To all this, we must add his interest in Lucha Libre AAA, being considered one of the main drivers of the alliance between the Mexican promotion and WWE.
