The Undertaker has a special place in the hearts of the WWE Universe. The Phenom has been part of the company for three decades, participating in several memorable matches.

Known for his dark character, The Deadman is certainly one of the most intimidating characters WWE has ever produced. With mainstream popularity, The Undertaker has been a household name for years. The 54-year is no longer a full-time performer and wrestles only sporadically, performing most recently in a tag team match at Extreme Rules.

The Deadman has been taking souls and digging holes for decades, achieving numerous incredible feats. However, there are a couple of things The Undertaker is yet to achieve, despite having such a lengthy career. In this article, we will find out three things The Undertaker hasn't done in WWE.


#3 The Undertaker has never won the Intercontinental Championship or the United States Championship

Being in WWE for such a long time, The Undertaker held multiple titles in his career. The Phenom is a seven-time Tag Team Champion, winning the titles with four different tag partners, and coincidentally, he's held the WWE Champiohsip seven times as well. The highly decorated main event champion Undertaker even won Hardcore Championship, if you can believe it.

Despite having such an impressive resume, The Undertaker has yet to win two major titles in WWE, the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship. These titles are a pair of the most belts prestigious in the entire company. The Intercontinental Title has been held by a number of legendary names, from Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart, and Mr. Perfect to Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It has existed for The Undertaker's entire run with the company and he's never held it. He's only challenged the Intercontinental Title three times, twice against Goldust and once against Triple H, failing to capture on all three occasions.

The United States Championship has been active in WWE since 2003, which means it was available for the last 10 years of his full-time career. The Deadman, although he did at one point feud with wrestlers who were holding the US Title (most notably MVP in 2005) never actually challenged for the title.

#2 The Undertaker never appeared on NXT

Making his debut in 1990, The Undertaker has been part of every single show WWE has ever produced, except for NXT, which is the developmental brand of WWE. When RAW first aired in 1993, The Deadman was in the main event of the very first episode. 'Taker appeared on the very first episode of SmackDown in 1999 as well.

NXT has come a long way since its inception in 2012. This year has been spectacular for the Black & Yellow brand as it has moved to USA Network, which also broadcasts RAW. NXT is currently a two-hour show, and goes head to head with AEW's Dynamite every week. Given NXT will be part of Survivor Series this year, NXT's stature has risen more.

Despite being the developmental brand until very recently, a lot of main roster Superstars have appeared on NXT. John Cena, CM Punk, and Randy Orton made special appearances in the past. Chris Jericho wrestled a match against Bray Wyatt only a few months before Bray debuted on WWE television. Randy Orton had a match on the Black & Yellow brand as well, when he wrestled Damien Sandow. Much more recently, AJ Styles led The OC in an invasion of NXT. Since The Undertaker has never been in NXT and WWE is trying to make the brand a legitimate third brand instead of "just developmental" -- and Undertaker appearance would centainly go a long way.

#1 The Undertaker never competed in an Iron Man Match

The Iron Man Match is the ultimate test of endurance for a Superstar, as the match continues for a long time. Iron Man matches are best known as gueling 60-minute contests, but more recently WWE has shortened them to 30-minutes. The rules of an Iron Man match are simple; whichever Superstar has the most falls (pins, submissons, sometimes even disqualifications) at the end of the time specified time limit is declared the winner.

Undertaker has wrestled in just about every other type of match that WWE has put on. He's been in an Inferno Match, Buried Alive Matches, Casket Matches, Lumberjack Matches, Hell in a Cell, Falls Count Anywhere, Last Man Standing, even a "Biker Chain" match and a Boiler Room Brawl. The Phenom has pretty much done it all. While The Undertaker never competed in an Iron Man Match, he played an integral part in the Iron Man match between The Rock and Triple H at Judgement Day in 2000. The Undertaker returned to WWE after a long hiatus and attacked Triple H, then decimated the rest of DX. Given that The Undertaker is in the twilight of his career, he doesn't have the physical strength of competing in an Iron Man Match, so this is one match that we will never see from The Undertaker.
