Recently, Joe Peisich of Barnburner’s No Holds Barred podcast said that currently WWE is considering The Undertaker’s retirement match at next year’s WrestleMania 35. According to him, the company will also induct him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2019.
It is evident that Taker’s retirement is now going to happen soon as his body cannot handle the pressure a wrestler usually takes during a match any longer. He has done so much for the business for the past three decades, and if he is going to hang up his boots (which he will soon), then his last match should be at WrestleMania.
He is currently feuding with D-generation X along with his brother Kane. The two teams are going to face each other for the first time at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel event.
Now the biggest question is which WWE Superstar The Undertaker will hit the sack against.

Many wrestlers would love to do this emotional job, but here are three who are likely to handle the situation.
#3 Kane
Kane is The Undertaker’s kayfabe brother in the WWE, and he has had an incredible career as The Undertaker. However, the company have been using him as a supportive wrestler instead of making him the real threat he was a long time ago.
Kane and The Undertaker both have done countless things for the WWE, and it is no secret that every fan respects these two legends.
Currently, both are working together as The Brothers Of Destruction, and their ongoing feud is with D-Generation X.
Kane and The Undertaker are known for doing the most unexpected things, but we should credit the WWE for planning all this stuff. If they have done it before, they could do it again.
No one or maybe only a minority of fans would ever think about the idea of Kane retiring The Undertaker at WrestleMania 35. It would not be the best thing to do, but since both wrestlers have a history together in the company, this could happen.
Kane could betray his brother during his feud against Shawn Michaels and Triple H to make this feud happen. This is the most classic way for rivalries to happen in the WWE.
#2 John Cena
John Cena is currently scheduled to appear at the Crown Jewel event for the WWE World Cup match. He is a 16-time WWE Champion, and no one in the history of the company has had a career like him.
Cena became a wrestler after trying his hands on bodybuilding, and it turned out to be his best decision. He has been the face of the company for a decade now, and everybody knows that his WWE appearances will only decrease.
He is working hard in Hollywood, and we all know how busy he is, but still, he prioritises the company over his projects, and makes appearances periodically.
At this year’s WrestleMania, John Cena was squashed by The Undertaker during his unannounced match. Many fans speculated that this happened only because the WWE wanted to do a rematch between Cena and Taker for next year’s WrestleMania.
Both are the most iconic superstars ever to step foot into the company. It would be a moment of honor for Cena if the company allowed him to end the career of The Deadman.
#1 Triple H
Many fans would expect Shawn Michaels on this list, and he is also a likely opponent for Taker's retirement match. However, the fans want to see a dream match between Michaels and Styles more than this match. This is why Triple H replaced him here, but he could be a better option for The Undertaker.
The Undertaker retired Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 26, and this little story is enough to plan a Mania match between these two superstars. Triple H is a wrestler the WWE could trust without thinking. He has retired many wrestlers in the WWE, and he might do the same with The Undertaker too.
Even though the WWE promoted their Super Show-Down match as “Last Time Ever”, the company’s history gives us a huge hint that this might be just for hype. A few years ago at WrestleMania 28, the company promoted the match between The Rock and John Cena as “Once In A Lifetime”, but the following year, we again saw a match between those two superstars.
WWE often break rules, and it would be less surprising if Triple H and The Undertaker face each other again at next year’s WrestleMania.
