It's impossible to talk about WWE and not immediately recall The Undertaker, the greatest Superstar the company has ever had. Such has been The Deadman's journey in WWE, that he's touched the lives of all wrestling fans out there.

Over the 30 years of his WWE career, The Undertaker has given us multiple gimmicks, be it The Big Evil, The American Bad*ss, The Ministry of Darkness, and so on. The Undertaker kept reinventing himself so that he could continue to entertain and impress the WWE Universe like no other Superstar could.

We've seen The Deadman in some of the most memorable feuds in WWE history, be it against Shawn Michaels, Mankind, his kayfabe brother Kane, or Triple H.

Having said that, there are several storylines where the fans were left asking for more, be it for good reasons or bad. And as The Undertaker nears the end of his wrestling days, we look at five such feuds that he can revisit to cap off a WWE career like no other.


#5 John Cena

When John Cena started calling out The Undertaker after failing to find his "path to WrestleMania" back in 2018, fans were excited. And why wouldn't they be? There was the chance of the most revered Superstar in WWE history facing off against the most decorated one at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

However, Big Match John would never get a response from The Undertaker irrespective of how personal he went in his scathing promos. Eventually, the two would face off in a squash match with The Undertaker finishing off Cena in less than three minutes.

This certainly left a lot to be desired. The allure of The Deadman's character of late has not been in his in-ring performances, but in his ability to terrorize his opponent with his mere presence and spine-chilling promos. A better build-up to the match was certainly warranted.

Now, both John Cena and The Undertaker are almost at the finish line in terms of their careers, with many even believing that their respective matches at WrestleMania 36 could be their last.

WWE could certainly revisit this feud to bring down the curtains for two of the finest Superstars in the history of the company and in the process, give the fans a compelling story. Merely advertising this match as possibly the final showdown for both The Undertaker and John Cena would get WWE a ton of eyeballs.

#4 Brock Lesnar

The most shocking result in WWE history?

Back in 2014, the unthinkable happened in WWE. Brock Lesnar pinned The Undertaker to break his WrestleMania streak, leaving all the fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and worldwide shocked.

While some members of the WWE Universe still fail to understand why Lesnar was the one to eventually break The Streak, in hindsight, it was pretty obvious that the company wanted to solidify The Beast Incarnate's legacy as a dominator.

Since then, Lesnar has had multiple world title reigns and as of now, has nothing more left to prove in the WWE. The Undertaker, on the other hand, may have beaten generations of Superstars during his long and storied career but Brock did have the last laugh against him.

Thus, it would make enough sense to bring these two behemoths face-to-face to settle scores once and for all. The Undertaker would also have a chip on his shoulder, going up against the man who put a blip on his legacy. Given the reaction Lesnar's able to evoke as a heel and The Undertaker's fandom, this feud will have the fans heavily invested at all times.

#3 Randy Orton

Back in 2005, Randy Orton declared that he would end The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania 21 and that's what would set him apart from other Superstars. The Viper failed to make good on his claims, but the feud stretched for a good nine months before The Deadman stood tall following a Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon.

We saw all traits of Randy Orton as we know him in this feud, be his sneak attacks, him playing the pretense game, or distracting The Undertaker with the help of his father Bob Orton Jr.

After such a drawn-out storyline where he eventually came second, Randy Orton is bound to have some hard feelings for The Deadman. And we all know that The Apex Predator can strike you outta nowhere.

So just the way he berated Edge in the personal feud that culminated at WrestleMania, Orton can call out The Undertaker by stating how he continues to put his health at risk by continuing his yearly endeavors at WrestleMania. Both men are good on the mic, Orton has worked well with The Undertaker before, and there's obvious history between the two!

#2 Edge

When Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on The Undertaker back in May 2007, the Rated R Superstar started a feud that lasted over a year. The Deadman had just defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a hellacious steel cage match and was forced into action again, where he eventually lost.

The Undertaker was even kayfabe fired during this storyline which included multiple title changes and innumerable interferences. The Undertaker would then be reinstated and he would see off Edge in a Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam.

Now, when Edge returned to WWE earlier this year, he mentioned that he wants to relive his past inside the ring. He also said that he's only here for a short time so he wants to make the most of it.

Nothing spells making the most of an opportunity than facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Both these WWE legends are extremely over with the fans so any outcome should be acceptable too.

Edge would have more of a purpose in this feud but The Undertaker too could be looking at this as an opportunity to secure that last big win before he eventually decides to hang up his boots.

#1 Bray Wyatt

The Undertaker vs. The Fiend is a dream match for many
The Undertaker vs. The Fiend is a dream match for many

The Undertaker has faced and defeated some of the greatest Superstars in WWE history during his long run in the company, but never has he come across a character as twisted and sinister as The Fiend.

The Undertaker feuded with Bray Wyatt back in 2015, a year after Brock Lesnar brought an end to The Streak. Despite Wyatt's claims and cryptic promos, The Deadman stood tall at the end of the whole ordeal.

However, things have changed now. While the comparisons between Wyatt and The Undertaker made sense even back then due to the dark characters that both the men played, the similarities are more resounding now.

Just like The Undertaker, The Fiend is able to instill fear in the hearts of his opponents merely with his presence. Him appearing out of nowhere to make a vicious attack on unsuspecting victims is very reminiscent of The Undertaker making his presence felt inside the ring following the toll of the bell and chokeslamming a numb opponent.

The Fiend has been going after everyone that wronged him during his previous gimmicks and perhaps The Undertaker could be on his list. For The Deadman, this would be an opportunity to prove to the world yet again that nobody can recreate the enigma of the one and only Undertaker.
