WWE legend The Undertaker is known for his fiery ring entrances, and it seems he also likes his chicken flaming hot.

The Deadman took a break from choke-slamming to enjoy a cheeky Nando's when he visited Edinburgh this week.

He had been signing autographs and meeting fans at Comic Con Scotland at the Royal Highland Centre at the weekend.

It's understood he saw a few of the sights around the capital in the days afterwards, with the convention saying he planned to visit Edinburgh Castle.

Student Jack Passmore tweeted that his girlfriend Sarah Bickler had been sitting next to The Phenom at the Lothian Road Nando's on Monday.

At first she didn't recognise the pro wrestler.

He said: "Birds in nandos n she goes to me there’s someone famous sitting next to me n it’s none other than the f***ing undertaker

Sarah replied: "Mate how the f*** am I supposed to know who he is I’m no a wwe superfan."

Jack hit back with: "He’s the deadman Sarah, one half of the brothers of destruction. Who wouldn’t know who he is."

Many fans retweeted Jack's post, saying they were surprised that the veteran wrestler enjoyed the chicken chain restaurant.

Aaron O'Neill tweeted: "Should have just let him rest in peace."

Another person added: "imagine sitting in Nando’s and you see the undertaker eating his extra mild wrap."

Mark Calaway first started his wrestling career in 1984 and debuted in the WWF as The Undertaker in 1990.

The "Deadman" became one of the most successful pro wrestlers of all time, holding a total of 17 championships.

He has headlined multiple pay-per-view events for WWE, including four WrestleManias (13, XXIV, XXVI, and 33).

The Undertaker is also the second most prolific pay-per-view performer in WWE history, wrestling in 172 matches.
