The Undertaker's 24 WrestleMania Matches Ranked - From Worst To Best

Undertaker Vs. Bray Wyatt was a match adversely affected by its one-sided and oddly understated promotion. Undertaker was famously driven to hospital at the conclusion of WrestleMania XXX, and had not appeared on WWE television - at all - in the interim. It bordered on the distressing. Most were worried about the physical condition in which 'Taker existed - hardly a way of generating excitement.

Ironically, it was his younger and less-travelled opponent who hobbled into the match. Wyatt sprained his ankle badly in rehearsal, though it wasn't too noticeable throughout the fifteen minute duration. That said, perhaps that’s more of an indictment of the layout of the match than Wyatt’s performance in it; predicated more on storytelling than the epic back-and-forth finisher kickout festival with which ‘Taker had become synonymous, it was a necessary reset given his deteriorating health.

The narrative was built around Wyatt supplanting his opponent as WWE’s “new face of fear,” and as well-performed as the character work was - the psychology behind the dual spider walk/sit up spot was all the more impressive, given that it was widely expected - it was undermined by the comparatively short duration and the relative ease with which ‘Taker won.

It was hamstrung by circumstances both controllable and uncontrollable - an oddly ordinary match between two extraordinary personas.
