The Undertaker is back in the WWE to have yet another run despite his terrible match with Goldberg at Super ShowDown which was roundly criticised by everyone.

'Taker returned to action at Extreme Rules when he found a surprising ally in his former rival, Roman Reigns, as the two faced off against the team of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre in a tag team match, and prevailed against the heels, thanks to some vintage moves by 'Taker.

With the Deadman returning to two shows in two months, we could expect him to be at the next PPV, which also happens to be one of WWE"s "Big 4" PPVs, SummerSlam.

Let's take a look at 5 Superstars The Undertaker could face after WWE Extreme Rules 2019:


#5. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is one of the top heels in WWE and had a great year or so following his switch to the main roster from NXT. The Scottish Psychopath has formed an alliance with Shane McMahon as the likes of Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin have moved on to other feuds.

McIntyre is destined to be a future WWE champion, but he will need to be in some high-profile feuds before he wins a title, and who better to have a high-profile feud than The Undertaker?

The WWE have set it up perfectly for a feud between the two, following their match at Extreme Rules and we could maybe see this match happening at SummerSlam, next month.


#4. Elias

Elias interfered in the tag team match at Extreme Rules, attacking The Undertaker with a guitar when The Deadman was about to send Shane McMahon through the announce table.

WWE have teased a match between Elias and The Undertaker for quite some time now, including at RAW after WrestleMania 35, when the guitar-wielding Superstar mocked The Undertaker in his song.

Elias is yet another young Superstar who could benefit from a feud with The Undertaker as his gimmick has become quite stale recently while he also hasn't had as much TV time.

He could be another Superstar 'Taker could face at SummerSlam.

#3. Shane McMahon

We've seen this feud before, that too at the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania, back in 2016 at WrestleMania 32. Shane McMahon and The Undertaker faced off then inside Hell in a Cell, and 'Taker came out the winner after a 30-minute war.

We could maybe see it play out again, with Shane having featured quite heavily on WWE television lately, and taking his heel persona to the next level.

While a match between Shane McMahon and The Undertaker does not have that big a draw, it could maybe be used to set-up other matches - possible future feuds with Drew McIntyre or Elias, two other Superstars who have featured on this list.

A feud between the two will not help either Superstar, who are both part-time wrestlers, wrestling mostly in PPVs, but having seen Shane be featured left, right, and center lately, it won't be a surprise.

#2. AJ Styles

AJ Styles is currently in a feud with Ricochet for the Intercontinental title, and unsurprisingly turned heel recently when he joined forces with The Club, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, to, sort of, revive his fortunes in WWE and have potentially exciting feuds.

One top Superstar that The Undertaker hasn't feuded with on WWE television is AJ Styles, who hasn't quite had the opportunity to face The Deadman since joining WWE in 2016.

With Styles now a heel, and having the additional support of Gallows and Anderson with him everywhere, a feud between him and The Undertaker could be a very exciting one.

While we can't expect an exceptional wrestling match between the two, owing mainly to The Undertaker's age, I do believe that the feud as a whole could be memorable. This is a match worthy of being on a big PPV's card.

#1. Sting

This is a dream match that never happened, and it will be disappointing if WWE don't make it happen. WWE Hall of Famer Sting and The Undertaker were two of the icons of their wrestling promotions, WCW and WWE, respectively, and were an integral part of pro wrestling's growth.

There have been many indications that this match could actually happen soon! Sting has spoken about his desire to face off against The Undertaker and that he would return to the WWE for only that match. WWE have also teased a potential match between the two, with them posting the above photo on social media recently.

There was also a slight hint during Undertaker's entrance, when the image and sound of the crow - something associated with Sting - showed up in the video as Undertaker was making his way to the ring! Could we possibly see this match at SummerSlam?
