He has defeated more than 15 different wrestlers (defeating Shawn Michaels and big red Monster Kane on two occasions, and Triple H on three separate occasions). He has missed only WrestleMania X and WrestleMania 2000, both times due to injuries Brock Lesnar is on a collision course with The Undertaker for WrestleMania 30.

#5 Randy Orton

We start the show with the current WWE World Heavyweight champion, Randy Orton. The viper is the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history. During his earlier days, he had the gimmick of the "legend killer".

Legend vs the ‘Legend Killer’, one of the greatest feuds in the WWE. The two had been fierce rivals for more than a year, which included a match at WrestleMania 21. Orton’s father, Cowboy Bob Orton, interfered in the match to help his son, but it wasn’t good enough to defeat The Undertaker. The Undertaker won the match after reversing a tombstone piledriver from Orton, and performing a tombstone of his own.

Orton matched Undertaker in the intensity and certainly the match was very even to say the least.

#4 Jake \"the snake\" Roberts

Jake “The Snake” Roberts was named as the second member of the 2014 Hall of Fame.Jake Roberts is considered to be among the most technically gifted wrestlers and was a gripping speaker with a terrifying gimmick. One of the greatest and probably the most chilling heel in the history of sports entertainment took on an equally formidable opponent in the Undertaker at WrestleMania to make up for an interesting matchup.

During Undertaker's debut, Roberts had already cemented himself as a terrifying character who was heavily anticipated by the crowd. With the Undertaker coming in, they made up for some very gripping build ups and promos.

#3 Shawn Michaels

The showstopper comes in at number 3 on this list. HBK was truly a wrestler who defied odds throughout his career and despite bigger superstars being around him, he always put on great shows. The same happened against the Phenom.

He is considered by many as the toughest competitor Undertaker has fought in WrestleMania history.Shawn Michaels wrestled The Undertaker for the 1st time in WrestleMania 25, where The Undertaker defeated him to continue his undefeated streak. The match is widely considered as one of the best of the matches which the Undertaker has had. Shawn Michaels wanted a rematch at WrestleMania 26, but The Undertaker refused.

Finally, The Undertaker accepted his challenge when Shawn Micheals interfered in a match, costing The Undertaker his world heavyweight championship title. The match was a Career vs Streak match, which ended the career of Shawn Michaels. Remarkably, this match even topped their previous match.

HBK was fierce in the ring. His style of fighting and his never say die attitude stood out.

#2 Kane

Kane takes the second spot in the fierce opponents list. Kane was always projected as the resident monster of the WWE. The big red machine debuted as the half brother of the Undertaker and was introduced in an intriguing storyline by the late great Paul Bearer.

The sheer weirdness and the aura which surrounded the match would easily put Kane on the second spot. The match between two very powerful wrestlers standing at over six and a half feet, was sure to be a standout. Their WrestleMania matches were majorly a showcase of the abilities of these two talented wrestlers.

Their rivalry was the stem from which a long standing career of Kane and the deadman blossomed. The storyline and the intensity of these individuals, making the match intensely personal, gets Kane on the list.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is the next WWE Superstar to challenge The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30. The man referred to as The Beast will be stepping up against The Deadman, who is 21-0 on the grandest stage of them all.

From the icy stare in his eyes to his ferocious intensity in the ring, Lesnar is a weapon that is always ready to be aimed at the next Superstar unfortunate enough to get in his way. Arguably, he is the most destructuve and fierce individual in WWE currently.

Lesnar is a former UFC champion and by far one of the toughest men in the industry today. Lesnar's smashmouth style in the WWE ring is evenly matched by his amateur wrestling skills, and all of that is wrapped up in a powerhouse package of brute strength.
