5 reasons why AJ Styles should retire The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36

#2 It will allow the room for the growth of other iconic characters

There aren’t enough words to describe the influence of The Undertaker over the pro-wrestling industry. He is one of the most iconic characters in the history of this business and will always be cherished by the wrestling fans for his incredible legacy. There is no denying that someone like The Undertaker can never be replaced.

Despite that, every mystical character is always compared with The Deadman. While that may seem like a common thing, it makes a much bigger impact when he is around. Hasty judgments and constant comparisons from the audience between emerging characters and ‘Taker’s unparalleled charisma often ends up taking its toll on promising talents.

With the change in time, it is now important for WWE to allow The Undertaker to bid his farewell. That’s the only shot that they will have at creating another character as compelling as him. The likes of The Fiend and Aleister Black have that kind of potential which can see them taste similar success. If WWE play their cards right, they can create something truly fresh and iconic yet again once Styles sets up a perfect retirement for The Undertaker.
