Bray Wyatt's feud with The Undertaker officially began at Fastlane 2015. At the show, he emerged from a casket and issued a challenge to The Phenom for a match at WrestleMania 31. Prior to that, he had been sending subtle messages to the legend after calling himself 'The New Face of Fear.' However, it was at the Fastlane event where things got real.

Undertaker accepted Wyatt's challenge on the March 9, 2015, episode of RAW. There were a lot of mind games heading into the show as both superstars desperately wanted a win after losing to Brock Lesnar and John Cena in the previous year.

The match ended in defeat for the former leader of The Wyatt Family. He controlled most of the bout, but The Deadman managed to land his big moves. They kicked out of each other's finishers, but in the end, Wyatt fell victim to The Phenom's unparalleled brilliance.
