10 Best Contenders For The Undertaker At WrestleMania 33
The Phenom returns this month, but who will face the Deadman in Orlando, and will this be his Last Ride?
Until April 2014, there were three guarantees in life: Death, Taxes, and The Undertaker winning at WrestleMania. When Brock Lesnar stunned the world at WrestleMania XXX, the streak wasn’t the only thing broken. Wrestling fans around the world suddenly accepted a grim reality that the unthinkable will happen: The Undertaker will retire.
Ever since that fateful night in New Orleans, speculation around prospective opponents at every WrestleMania has a new slant. The question is no longer if someone deserves to break the streak but something even more difficult to answer: who deserves to potentially be the final chapter in one of wrestling’s most storied careers.
We look at 10 potential contenders to face The Undertaker at the Camping World Stadium and consider if they could prove the last foe for the last outlaw …
10. Braun Strowman
If the WWE is purely looking for an imposing figure to take up The Undertaker’s mantle, there's little doubt Braun Strowman has the look. Whilst being a fixture of WWE programming for some time now, 2016 has been a breakout year for the former strong man. Separating Braun from the Wyatt Family has done wonders for his progression and if his improvements in ring and on the mic continue, he could very well succeed where other large athletes have failed. Not a Punjabi Prison match in sight.
If Undertaker is going to be defeated by an up and coming star, there are few from the current crop that could feasibly say they earned that rub. Baron Corbin is another name that might enter the equation but truth be told, neither man has been booked in a memorable enough feud so far for them to deserve that spot at WrestleMania 33. Braun must go down therefore as a potential candidate should the Undertaker still be active by the time WrestleMania 34 rolls around.
