10 Best Possible Matches For The Undertaker At SummerSlam

Like a match with Cesaro, a Sheamus-Undertaker bout might seem like a mismatch at first, but in some ways, it's the ideal first match back for the Phenom. While Sheamus's heel turn hasn't quite taken off like WWE has hoped, he's still a former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion whose name carries with it quite a bit of cache -- and the fact that he holds the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase proves that he's still an important player in the company.

More than for the character dynamic, though, a match between Sheamus and The Undertaker would be notable for the in-ring action. Sheamus is a methodical, but hard-hitting, brawler who does his best work with similar-styled opponents (like Wade Barrett and Randy Orton), while The Undertaker is an innovator in that same style. And while the Phenom shouldn't be taking the same beatings he once did, he's still a big, tough guy who's more than able to mix it up with another.
