Whispers in the gossip mill suggest that WWE legend The Undertaker and former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson could be entering the house as wild card contestants. For Indian viewers, the idea of seeing such global sports icons inside the Bigg Boss house feels almost unbelievable. The rumors first started on a Discord server, where fans claimed The Undertaker’s name had been floated. Soon after, Mike Tyson’s name also started making the rounds, adding even more fuel to the speculation. Of course, Bigg Boss has a long history of surprising the audience with unexpected celebrity appearances, though not all rumors turn out to be true.
