9 Times The Undertaker Helped Make WWE Superstars (And The One That Got Away)

Undertaker's final gesture, his last big loss that gave a younger star the rub. The impact was diminished somewhat by the streak being broken three years earlier (we'll get to that), and Undertaker being noticeably way off the pace, leading to some tragic botches, but the intent was there to solidify The Big Dog as a modern legend when he eliminated Scary McBlackhat from the Royal Rumble.

Reigns only had that one match against Uncle Mark, but they went on to team together in Undertaker's last match in front of a live crowd at Extreme Rules 2019. Reigns gained a huge show of respect from The Deadman after they beat Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre; the nod and a proclamation that "It's your yard" was the seal of legitimacy that Reigns needed.

Fans continued to go back and forth on whether Roman was deserving of their cheers whenever he stepped through the curtain, but he will always have that WrestleMania win and that tag match to fall back on. Now that he's a heel, it's further ammunition to brag about his superiority to anyone who attempts to step up to him.
