The Art of Piledriving: The Undertaker Puts NFTs Through the WWE Ropes

On the weekend, WWE released six Undertaker NFTs, preserving some of the wrestler’s most memorable moments for posterity.

NFTs are one-of-a-kind tokens fast becoming one of the leading ways for artists to connect with their fans.

The NFTs sold at auction for prices between US$100 and $100,000, in partnership with crypto wallet provider Bitski.

Several Tiers of NFTs

The NFTs were sold in four tiers, with two bronze NFTs, two silver NFTs, and a gold and platinum-tier NFT each.

For the platinum tier, bidding started at $10,000 but it sold for $100,000. The buyer will also receive two front-row tickets for Wrestlemania 38 and 39, taking place in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Aside from VIP access and an all-expenses-paid stay at a hotel, the buyer will receive a personal thank-you recording from the Undertaker – real name Mark William Callaway – as well as “an original Paul Bearer urn out of the WWE Vault, used by Paul Bearer and the Undertaker, to be signed by the Undertaker, as well as a personalised WWE Championship title belt with the winner’s name engraved on the side plates”.

Nick Khan, WWE president and chief revenue officer, stated that the creation of the NFTs will help expand the wrestling phenomenon, honouring the longest winning streak of any WWE wrestler – which stands at 21-0.

WWE’s first-ever NFT collection presents an opportunity to own a digital piece of history featuring the Undertaker, one of the most iconic superstars in sports entertainment. This will also allow WWE to deepen our connection with the WWE universe during our biggest event, WrestleMania.
