Super Bowl 59 on February 9 was a star-studded event where the Eagles easily beat the Chiefs. Many famous people, including President Donald Trump and other well-known figures, were there.
Surprisingly, The Undertaker from the wrestling entertainment industry was also present. But even though the audience loved him, he is now under fire because he appeared on the show with Vince McMahon and his family.
Vince McMahon is a controversial figure in wrestling because of multiple legal issues, mostly involving accusations of sexual abuse by employees. Since the case is still being investigated, fans aren’t fully supporting McMahon until the court decides.

Because of McMahon’s negative reputation, 59-year-old The Undertaker is also facing criticism. Even though they made a rare appearance at the Super Bowl event at Caesars Superdome, it didn’t stop people from criticizing them.
Everyone believes McMahon’s presence at such a high-profile event is inappropriate given the serious nature of the accusations against him.
