The Undertaker's 23 WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best
11. Bray Wyatt (WrestleMania 31)
After suffering a severe concussion during his 2014 match with Brock Lesnar, there were many questions surrounding the health and well-being of The Undertaker. Would he be able to return to the squared circle for WrestleMania? Was he as beaten down and broken as reports seemed to suggest? If he did appear, what quality of match could fans realistically expect from him? He silenced all critics at WrestleMania 31, stepping through the curtain to a thunderous ovation and stalking toward the squared circle, where the maniacal Bray Wyatt awaited him. Like an old gunslinger prepared for one more duel, he stepped into the squared circle and came face-to-face with the man many considered his modern day equivalent. Together, they wrestled a match that may have been hampered by an ankle injury suffered by Wyatt earlier in the day, but one that reaffirmed the greatness of The Deadman. After weeks of having his ability to wrestle called into question, he helped carry a hobbled Wyatt to a match that far exceeded expectations. There were crowd-pleasing moments that saw The Reaper of Souls go into his spider walk stance, only to be greeted by an Undertaker who had sat up, coming eye-to-eye with his rival. Moments later, a rattled Bray had his Sister Abigail attempt countered and was put down for three following a Tombstone. The last of the average matches on this list, it may very well be the most important in that it proved that age and injury can only slow The Phenom, not stop him.
