10 superstars who deserve to be WWE Universal Champion more than Brock Lesnar

#10. Undertaker

Let's just get these out of the way:

"But he's retired!"

"He'd be just another part-timer like Brock!"

"He's old."

Yes, yes, and yes, all of those statements are true. Undertaker is officially on a Legends contract and was 'retired' by Roman Reigns. It's doubtful he could be enticed at his age and physical condition into a full-time contract, and yes, for a professional wrestler he's advanced in years.

Now let me tell you why none of these things matter. Undertaker's 'retirement' has been far from a constant state, as he is constantly coming back for matches and special events. Obviously, he still has the physical tools he needs to perform at high-level shows like Crown Jewel and Wrestlemania.

Now, as to his being a part-timer; The idea of a world champion wrestling every single Monday or Tuesday night is a relatively new concept. Previously on WWE programming, Hulk Hogan was known to be absent from the weekly broadcasts for weeks or even months at a time, showing up only in pre-taped interviews and promos. When he did wrestle, it was usually something like MTV's Rock and Wrestling, Saturday Night's Main Event, or a Pay per View--and keep in mind there only used to be a handful of those every year.

The point is, Undertaker could easily fulfil the obligations of world champion by only wrestling at Pay Per Views. He could preside over the roster as the mysterious and enigmatic phantom force, appearing in his trademark smoke and lightning and delivering chilling promos. If managed correctly, Undertaker could function just as well if not better than Lesnar in the role of Universal champion.

There you have it; Ten men who deserve to be Universal Champion more than Brock Lesnar. Who do YOU want to see wearing the big red belt? Please comment and let us know, and thanks for reading.
