The wait was finally over as the duo was scheduled to battle one-on-one in a match at WrestleMania 36. However, the changed scenario in the entire world led to the storyline having a different direction in which Styles did not hold back but ran down Taker's wife, Michelle McCool. Michelle McCool became a major point in the feud between AJ Styles and The Undertaker The Undertaker replaced Rey Mysterio in the finals of the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy and defeated AJ Styles in mere seconds. This began the feud between them, with their match made official for WrestleMania 36. However, The Phenomenal One decided to blur the lines of fiction and reality by addressing The Undertaker by his real name, 'Mark Calaway.' He took it one step further by calling out his wife, Michelle McCool, and claimed that she was a huge reason that The Undertaker was no longer The Phenom but an 'old broken down man.'

4 WWE Undertaker dream matches for the modern-era wrestlers
Image via WWE A match with The Undertaker for the modern era wrestlers would have been a dream showdown. The Undertaker will go down in the WWE history books as one of the greatest superstars of all time. His three decades of destruction, captivating character and impressive in-ring style has made him one of the most respected and renowned figures in professional. After thirty years of competing as an in-ring performers, The Phenom retired after his last match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. However, had he still been an active competitor, here are the top four superstars who would have proven to be a formidable challenge for The Undertaker. 4. Damian Priest Damian Priest has been very much open about the influence of The Undertaker on his wrestling career. Priest has been called as the modern day Taker and even 'bisexual Undertaker' by others on social media. Moreover, Priest uses Taker's Old School and Chokeslam moves in his own way in the ring. Had The Undertaker still been wrestling, a match against Priest would have been a dream come true for the young and rising star. 3. Drew McIntyre Drew McIntyre has shared the ring with The Undertaker a few times in his WWE career. However, he did it long before he became a too attraction for the Stamford-based promotion. Amidst his rise, he did battle The Undertaker in a tag team match at the 2019 WWE Extreme Rules event, but never a singles bout. So, he would have proven to be a challenge for The Undertaker in the modern era. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch Bitcoin và Ethereum - Không cần ví!

Moreover, Rollins was at the peak of his career when Taker was active on the roster, but never got to share the ring with The Demon from Death Valley. A match between Seth Rollins and The Undertaker would have been an exciting affair in the modern era as Taker had always put up stellar showdowns against more opponents more agile and smaller than his him. 1. Cody Rhodes Much like Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes has shared the ring with The Undertaker in the past. However, as the flagship WWE star and at the top of his game, fans never witnessed that spectacular showdown between Rhodes and Taker. With both superstars in their prime and as active performers, Rhodes and Taker would have produced one of the greatest in-ring matches of all time.
