3 Potential Opponents For The Undertaker At Summerslam 2018

WWE SummerSlam 2015

The Undertaker is legendary WWE Superstar. No other superstar can ever match the aura of The Undertaker. Taker has an incredible career in which he has achieved many great things.

There have been many rumors around that The Undertaker is going to wrestle at SummerSlam 2018. Taker has been wrestling on frequent occasions recently.

It is likely that he will be wrestling at this year's SummerSlam event. This brings us to the question about who would The Undertaker be facing at this event.

Also, he is going to be facing Triple H at the Super Showdown event in Australia later this year. WrestleMania 35 maybe the last time when we see The Undertaker wrestle but the WWE will possibly use him to the fullest before he retires.

Now, let's have a look at the superstar who would be great opponents for Taker but are not going to make it this list, Honorable Mentions :

Daniel Bryan: He is a great opponent for anyone. Especially, seeing him wrestle Taker would be a delight to watch.

Roman Reigns: He is one of the two people who has defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania. It would be a perfect revenge for The Undertaker if he beats Reigns at SummerSlam.

Triple H: As I said earlier, Taker is facing HHH later this year. And I don't see it becoming a long rivalry. Hunter would've been a great opponent, but it doesn't seem likely to happen.

#3 AJ Styles

2017 WWE SummerSlam
The Phenomenal One

"The Phenom" against "The Phenomenal One" would be the biggest marquee match anytime. It is a blockbuster and a money-maker.

AJ Styles is a wrestler that can put on a good match against anyone. He is one of the finest wrestlers in the world right now. He has an incredible moveset and wrestling style.

Even if The Undertaker is 53-years old and cannot wrestle longer matches, he has still got it. Taker proved this recently when he faced Rusev in a Casket Match.

AJ Styles and The Undertaker can put up a hell of a match even if they are given 15 minutes. Even their wrestling styles are complimentary which would give us a perfect blend.

#2 "Demon King" Finn Balor

Finn Balor is one of the most criminally underrated Superstars in WWE. He was the first ever Universal Champion in the WWE, but he had to relinquish the title the very next day due to a shoulder injury. Since returning from his injury, he has lost all the momentum he had.

He is booked strongly only when he is in his 'Demon' persona. But, the Demon King was last seen at the TLC 2017 pay-per-view where he defeated AJ Styles. Balor's alter-ego has not been brought since then.

If The Demon King squares-off against The Undertaker at SummerSlam 2018, we can easily assume that it is going to be an awesome match. Also, it would be a blockbuster storyline with the clash of two unique evil gimmicks. Just imagine the promos which will be the build-up towards the match.

An in-ring performer like Finn Balor can bring out a great performance from The Undertaker. This would definitely be a dream match that will be remembered for ages to come.

#1 John Cena

The Face That Used To Run The Place

Yes, John Cena did face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34 and lost the match in under 3 minutes. This was a dream come true for many fans. But none of them thought that it would be a squash match.

No one was truly satisfied with the match they had. So it makes sense to have a rematch between them, and this time give the fans a competitive match that they wanted to see. There is no better time and place to do this other than SummerSlam 2018.

Only 15 minutes on the whole show would give us the perfect match between John Cena & The Undertaker. It won't matter who picks up the victory but it would give us a memorable moment for the rest of our lives.

John Cena was the face of the WWE for almost a decade and The Undertaker is a living legend. This would be the biggest marquee match on the show and it can also be the last encounter they have with each other.


So these were the 3 wrestlers who could truly face The Phenom at SummerSlam 2018. Let me know in the comments about who do you think should face The Undertaker.
