10 WWE Superstars You Won't Believe Defeated The Undertaker

10. Yokozuna (Royal Rumble 1994)

With Yokozuna being a two-time WWE champion and Royal Rumble winner, the idea of him beating The Undertaker isn't exactly a stretch. However, his second reign with the title was so poor that 'Taker losing to him as decisively as he did at the 1994 Royal Rumble pay-per-view is fairly egregious in retrospect.

Following his failed feud with Giant Gonzalez in 1993, Undertaker set his sights on the WWE Championship for the first time in over two years at the onset of 1994. There was never any question that Undertaker was merely a filler opponent for Yokozuna ahead of WrestleMania X, not to mention that The Phenom was dealing with a back injury at the time and had to be written out of storylines for the foreseeable future.

Beating 'Taker should have given Yokozuna more credibility as champion, but the match's deplorable quality completely overshadowed his victory. Yokozuna needed nine (nine!) other superstars to put down The Deadman, and even then, it was Undertaker's speech afterward from the casket that was the real focus.

There were more effective ways of writing off The Undertaker without having him ambushed by a myriad of men and pretending his soul had left his body. It's widely regarded as one of his worst matches of all-time and for good reason.

Unsurprisingly, Yokozuna's main event run ended as soon as he dropped the WWE title.
