In the midst of the controversies and speculations regarding WWE Crown Jewel, the event is due for some likely changes because of the political scene back in the US. The agreements with Saudi Arabia are big money deals, and it fetches even more money than Wrestlemania.
While Linda McMahon and Vince McMahon are two different individuals, and Vince can still go on with the event, but Kane is now mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. An appearance at the event could be career suicide for him.
While there is a possibility of a venue change, if Vince continues with the event, Kane may need to opt out of it. Thus, Undertaker would need a new partner who could join him for the main event.
In this article, we would be going through the superstars who could possibly replace Kane in the tag team main event.
#5 Sting
Sting, with a career that lasted more than 30 years, has become one of the biggest professional wrestling superstars ever not produced by WWE. While his neck injury is still a barrier to his in ring return, but Sting has been vocal about wanting a dream match with the Undertaker, stating that his neck is fine and he can still wrestle, he is just choosing not to.
Undertaker and Sting in a tag team is a salivating prospect and would be a moment to cherish. Sting would still be safe in a tag team environment with Undertaker carrying most of the match and taking bumps. Sting could come in with the occasional hot tags and land his finisher.
Undertaker and Sting celebrating the win together in the ring is a Wrestlemania caliber moment, and it could also lead to the dream match, if health of both the superstars permits.
#4 Punishment Martinez
The newest WWE signee, Punishment Martinez, is now available for appearances on WWE TV. He has completed all the television tapings for ROH and has recently dropped the ROH TV Championship and is headed towards the black and yellow brand.
Martinez has got the look,build, and in ring skills to become the next Undertaker. He has an aura around him which resembles Undertaker's dark and chilling persona. It would be a great way to introduce him to the main roster, if he is allowed to skip NXT.
#3 Bray Wyatt
WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt has been directionless for ages. After being in meaningless feuds for an eternity, he got into a feud with Matt Hardy which led to the formation of Deleters of the Worlds. After a run with the tag team championships, Wyatt again finds himself directionless after Matt’s retirement announcement.
Remember the time when Wyatt feuded with the Undertaker? He resembled the Undertaker in every department, from promos to supernatural antics. Currently not embroiled in any feud, Wyatt could return and ally himself with the Undertaker, making a monumental return.
#2 Demon Balor
Finn Balor is one of the most underutilised superstars on the main roster right now, but his Demon gimmick is the most protected character in the entire WWE, which includes Roman's push and Lesnar's invincibility. Vince might think that Finn isn't cut out for the Universal title, but he certainly does believe in Balor's Demon avatar.
Currently not involved in any feud, Balor is free to accompany Undertaker against DX. Demon Balor also has that big fight feel around him that can replace a big match up between DX and the Brothers of Destruction. It could be a one and done scenario just to cope up with the last minute replacement.
#1 Aleister Black
Aleister Black was out with an injury when he was scheduled for a triple threat match against Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano. He was taken off TV after a backstage attack angle. While the recent reports suggested that he could come back to the ring in October and he has already started training heavily.
Fans already believe Black to be the second coming of the Undertaker and this could be a great start to his run on the main roster. Undertaker could also take the role of his mentor going forward. An NXT call up could just be the moment that can fill the gap of Kane and Undertaker teaming up.
