3 matches The Undertaker should have before he retires

The Undertaker is regarded, by many fans, fellow stars, and experts, as the greatest WWE star of all time. His legacy and list of accolades in unparalleled. His undefeated streak at Wrestlemania is the greatest streak professional wrestling has known and his seven-world title reigns are remarkable. He has run roughshod in WWE for the better part of three decades and has stood the test of time.

Taker is well into his fifties now and has shifted to a part-time role since 2011. He teased retirement at Wrestlemania 33, but ultimately returned to the squared circle. Taker's career is slowly drawing to a close and the Phenom doesn't have much gas left in the tank to compete at the high level he once used to.

Sharing the ring with The Undertaker is an honor, but defeating the Undertaker is as big as winning a world title. Many young talents like Roman Reigns have made a name for themselves at the expense of the Undertaker.

Taker has a few matches left in him and it would be wise if he works them with talent who deserve to be in the ring with him,

Now, let's get to 3 stars who The Undertaker should face before retiring.

#3. Aleister Black Vs The Undertaker

Aleister Black is one of WWE's finest talents.

The Undertaker has a certain mystique and aura that he carries with him every time he carries to the ring. Aleister Black's unique persona is reminiscent of The Undertaker's Deadman persona. The entrances alone would be an incredible sight to behold and would definitely have the fans on the edge of their seats.

Black is one of the most talented superstars on the WWE roster and a definite, bright future is ahead of him. He is one of the few stars that could rival Taker's mystique and aura, which goes to show just how good he really is.

Taker isn't going to stick around in WWE forever, which is why WWE should look for a replacement for him. In my opinion, Aleister Black could be the best possible option WWE has right now.

#2.Braun Strowman

A dream match

In early 2016, it was reported that WWE reportedly scrapped a Wrestlemania match between The Undertaker and Braun Strowman due to fan backlash and resentment, owing to the latter's inexperience and lack of skill. However, Braun Strowman has come a long way in the post-brand split period. He has developed his in-ring arsenal and has established himself as a force to be reckoned with.

On an episode of Raw in March 2017, Strowman called out Roman Reigns, but The Undertaker showed up instead of him, to the delight of fans. WWE teased a future show-down between Taker and Strowman that night and the crowd was red-hot for it. This means that fans would definitely accept the prospect of watching this two heavy-weights clash.

Strowman has great potential and he is set for bigger things in the future. Don't be surprised if Strowman ends The Undertaker's career?

#1.AJ Styles

Phenomenal One Vs The Phenom

AJ Styles is as phenomenal as he claims to be and The Undertaker is as big of a Phenom as he says he is. This match can be billed as 'Phenom' Vs 'The Phenomenal One'. Styles has re-built the yard and the show that The Undertaker once ruled. SmackDown Live is the house that AJ Styles built, but the original SmackDown show was always The Undertaker's yard and he defended it like a true champion.

Needless to say, this is the best match The Undertaker could have right now, from an in-ring perspective. Styles is perhaps the best wrestler in the world, at least in WWE.

With all due respect to the Undertaker, his wrestling prowess is declining owing to his age and injuries. So, Taker needs a good worker to cover up for his deteriorating wrestling skills and it doesn't get better than AJ Styles.
