The Undertaker's 10 Greatest Comebacks

10. SummerSlam 1994

The Undertaker's first major absence began at the 1994 Royal Rumble, immediately following his defeat at the hands of Yokozuna. He ascended to the top of the arena, and was subquently not seen for several months. He even missed WrestleMania, one of only two times in his career that he couldn't make the show of shows.

Over the summer, The Undertaker returned - only it was clearly an imposter. The fake Undertaker - or "Underfaker," as he was colloquially known, had none of the charisma and skill of the original, and he soon raised the ire of Paul Bearer. Bearer promised that the real Undertaker would return to confront his doppelganger at SummerSlam, and the main event was set.

While the Undertaker versus Undertaker match ultimately went down as a flop, the actual spectacle of "The Phenom's" return - complete with light emanating from Bearer's urn, which was resting in the middle of the ring - was pretty cool. It set the stage for some not-quite-natural comebacks from the legend.
