5 women who played important roles in The Undertaker's WWE career

The Undertaker debuted in WWE in late 1990, at Survivor Series. The character of a dead guy possessing supernatural powers was something no one had thought would become as successful as it did. He went on to carve an incredibly successful career for himself in WWE, and his once-undefeated WrestleMania streak gave us a long string of classics.

The Undertaker recently hinted in the last chapter of The Undertaker: The Last Ride that he is done as an in-ring performer.

In the following slideshow, we will take a look at an interesting aspect of The Phenom's career. We'll focus on five women who were involved in some of the biggest storylines in The Undertaker's career, and thus played an important role in his journey as an on-screen character.

#5 Vickie Guerrero

Vickie Guerrero

The storyline between Vickie Guerrero and The Undertaker kicked off when The Phenom delivered a Tombstone Piledriver on her on an episode of SmackDown. Months later, when The Undertaker defeated Edge to become the World Champion, Vickie helped Edge win back the belt.

Later, Vickie banned The Undertaker's Hell's Gate move, deeming it as being too dangerous, and Edge went on to defeat him to win the World title via interference.

A short while later, Triple H revealed that Edge had cheated on Vickie with Alicia Fox. An enraged Vickie brought back The Undertaker who she had banished from WWE a while ago, and put him in a Hell in A Cell match against Edge as revenge for the latter's cheating.

Edge lost the match at SummerSlam 2008, and Vickie later aligned herself with Big Show, putting The Undertaker in a string of matches with him. The rivalry ended at Survivor Series, where The Undertaker defeated Big Show in a Casket match.

#4 Lita

Lita

One of the most popular Divas of all time, Lita had her fair share of encounters with The Undertaker, both as an ally and a rival. Back in 2001, The Undertaker and Kane, dubbed as The Brothers of Destruction, came to Lita's rescue when The Two Man Power Trip (Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin) were about to attack her in the ring. This was shortly after Stone Cold had turned heel at WrestleMania 17 and won the WWE title from The Rock.

Later in the year, Lita and Jeff Hardy were both tossed off the entrance stage by The Deadman, during a Hardcore title match. Matt Hardy, Lita's boyfriend in real life, attempted to exact revenge on The Undertaker, but ended up getting injured in a match with him.

The trio attacked The Undertaker during the 2002 Royal Rumble match, with The Deadman eliminating The Hardy Boyz from the match. The distraction led to one of the biggest upsets in the history of WWE, as Tough Enough winner Maven eliminated him from the free-for-all.

#3 Sara

Sara and The Undertaker

The Undertaker's then real-life wife, Sara was involved in a bunch of storylines with him in the early 2000s. Shortly after Vince McMahon bought WCW, top star Diamond Dallas Page was brought in and revealed as the stalker of The Undertaker's wife. The feud didn't go anywhere and DDP announced his retirement from pro-wrestling a year later.

By late 2002, Brock Lesnar had become the face of WWE SmackDown, after he won the WWE title from The Rock at SummerSlam 2002. Lesnar soon entered into a feud with The Undertaker, and made it personal with him by confronting his wife in the locker room on an episode of SmackDown. The Beast intimidated Sara, and then went on to defend the title on two occasions against The Undertaker on PPV.

At No Mercy, Lesnar and The Undertaker engaged in a bloody brawl inside Hell In A Cell, which ended with Lesnar defeating The Deadman to retain his WWE title, and thus establishing himself as the top Superstar on the blue brand.

#2 Miss Elizabeth

Elizabeth

The Undertaker was introduced to the WWE Universe as a villain when he appeared as one of the members of Ted Dibiase's team at Survivor Seris 1990. He remained a heel for almost a year, but it all changed in early 1992. At the time, The Undertaker had formed an alliance with Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

When Roberts tried to attack Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth with a steel chair, The Deadman stopped him and instantly became a fan favorite. Miss Elizabeth was one of the biggest babyfaces in WWE at the time, and saving her was the ultimate babyface move on The Undertaker's part.

This was the first time in his career that The Undertaker had turned babyface. Roberts went on to confront The Undertaker and asked him whose side he was on. The face turn was solidified when The Undertaker made it clear that he wasn't on Roberts' side.

A feud kicked off between the two, and led to a match at WrestleMania 8. The Undertaker defeated Roberts at The Grandest Stage Of Them All, thus advancing his undefeated streak to 2-0.

#1 Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie McMahon debuted in WWE as Vince McMahon's innocent and pure-hearted daughter, and was immediately thrust into an angle that saw The Undertaker kidnapping her and attempting to forcefully marry her. Stone Cold Steve Austin made the save and it was revealed later that Vince was behind it all from the beginning.

A few years later, Stephanie was now the SmackDown GM. She got into a months-long rivalry with her father, who was involved in a romantic angle with Sable at the time. Stephanie wasn't happy with her father's relationship with Sable, hence kicking off a father-daughter rivalry.

Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker also got involved and the latter saved Stephanie several times from attacks by Brock, who had aligned with Vince at the time.

These storylines culminated at WWE No Mercy 2003, where Stephanie lost an "I Quit" match to Vince. The boss later interfered in the main event and cost the WWE title to The Undertaker, which led to a Buried Alive match between the two at Survivor Series 2003.
