Undertaker, Mike Tyson in talks for wildcard entry in Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19

The buzz around Bigg Boss 19 has reached fever pitch ahead of its August 24 premiere, with reports suggesting WWE legend The Undertaker and boxing icon Mike Tyson are in talks for wildcard entries.

MUMBAI : According to reports from the WWE league server on Discord, The Undertaker, born Mark Calaway, may enter the house as a special wildcard contestant in November. Speculation is also rife that Mike Tyson could make a surprise appearance, setting up what could be one of the most high-profile crossovers in the show’s history.

The Undertaker, famously known as the “Deadman,” is one of WWE’s most iconic figures, with a career spanning three decades. With a near-mythical 25–2 record at WrestleMania and seven world championships, his presence on the reality show would be a historic move. Tyson, meanwhile, remains one of the most recognized names in boxing, adding to the global intrigue surrounding the season.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is reportedly charging between ₹120–150 crores for the season, earning an estimated ₹8–10 crores per weekend over the 15-week run. This cements his status as one of the highest-paid television hosts in the world.

The confirmed contestant lineup includes TV actor Gaurav Khanna, actress Ashnoor Kaur, digital creators Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar, Baseer Ali, Abhishek Bajaj, Hunar Hale, Shafaq Naaz, Siwet Tomar, and Khank Waghnani. Popular gaming creator Payal Dhare and writer-actor Zeeshan Quadri also join the mix, promising a diverse cast.

Episodes will be released an hour early on OTT platforms before their Colors TV telecast, giving digital audiences a first peek at the drama.
