5. The Undertaker
Justifiably, there were some mild worries about what shape The Undertaker would be in for his match against Bray Wyatt. At WrestleMania XXX, 'Taker did look a little worse for wear up against the machine-like Brock Lesnar, but there's a chance that was partly by design - it really was the end of an era when Lesnar destroyed Undertaker's incredible winning streak at the event. In the build to this one, much of the responsibility fell on the shoulders of Wyatt, who carried the feud on the microphone. At 'Mania 31, the twisted preacher could relax somewhat, because the old-stager was determined to silence any talk of him running on empty. Wyatt obviously deserves praise for his facial expressions and mannerisms throughout, but this was exactly the kind of match The Undertaker needed following the events of last Spring. That said, a win would have counted for little had the man himself not been on top form. The fact he was shows that there's still gas in the tank going forward, although it's difficult to predict his next big opponent.
