New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#3 The Undertaker wants to work with: AJ Styles

AJ Styles has mocked The Undertaker several times in the last few weeks. At Elimination Chamber, The Deadman returned and helped Aleister Black gain a pinfall victory over Styles. 'Taker had previously defeated Styles during the Tuwaiq Trophy match in Saudi Arabia last month.

Now, WWE has made it clear that The Phenom would face The Phenomenal One at the Grandest Stage of Them All. What fans probably don't know about this match is that The Undertaker handpicked Styles as his opponent. He believes Styles to be a modern-day Shawn Michaels and wants to share the ring with him.

He isn't wrong though. Styles is a great performer and he offers safety in the ring. Last year, The Undertaker worked in a risky match against Goldberg at Super ShowDown. Since then, he has only worked with young talents.

Styles has mastered the art of wrestling and we are sure that he and The Undertaker will provide an outstanding match to the fans at WrestleMania 36.

#3 Wrestler that wants to face him: Seth Rollins

Three years ago, in 2017, it appeared that Roman Reigns had retired The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33. Such was not the case, however, as Undertaker rose from the grave to return a year later to face John Cena at this visual extravaganza.

When Seth Rollins spoke to Bandwagon.asia for promoting a WWE live event tour, he was asked about a match with 'Taker. Rollins said that he'd like to face him at WrestleMania.

"Is the Undertaker retired? I don't know, the way he left the arena at WrestleMania 33 it would look like it, but you never know in this business. If he's up for another match at WrestleMania I'd love to be his opponent."

These two wrestlers never had a one-on-one match in WWE and we are sure that the fans would want to see them tussle it out. Right now, both are in different storylines but we can't rule out on the possibility of a future match between the men at an event in Saudi Arabia, or even next year's WrestleMania. Undertaker needs young guys to make him look good, and Rollins is certainly a wreslter that fits the mold.

#2 The Undertaker wants to work with: Daniel Bryan

How awesome this match would've been?

Another Superstar who's as talented as AJ Styles in the ring is Daniel Bryan. When Bryan retired from wrestling in 2014, fans were upset. They wanted to see him wrestle at least one more time, and upon his departure there were many dream matches still left on the table.

One such match is Daniel Bryan vs The Undertaker. Back in 2014, 'Taker reportedly asked WWE to let him have a match with Bryan at WrestleMania. Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer confirmed the story and said this:

"It is said that Undertaker asked to work with him at Mania this year, and such a match would at least have the turn make sense."

However, we didn't get to see this match. Instead, The Undertaker faced Brock Lesnar -- who broke his WrestleMania streak -- whereas Bryan main evented the show along with Batista and Randy Orton, where he became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

If Bryan had faced The Phenom at WresleMania XXX, he would've likely lost the match. He also would have been out of the World Title picture and we would never have been able to see him main-event WrestleMania and have the legendary moment that has become an iconic memory.

#2 Wrestler that wants to face him: Samoa Joe

Former United States Champion Samoa Joe recently sat down with SportBible to discuss a few things about his career. When asked about his desire to face The Undertaker before he hangs up his boots, the Samoan wrestler said this:

"Absolutely. You know, I think the things that especially now that I appreciate about 'Taker's work are much more on display now than they probably ever have been. And yeah, I would be down to get down with 'Taker, whether it would be now or whenever in the future."

While we don't know if WWE will ever book this match, it could certainly serve up a very interesting storyline leading into a brutal, hard-fought match. Both Superstars are fan-favorites and their match would be likely to receive a bit reaction from the WWE Universe.


#1 The Undertaker wants to work with: Drew McIntyre

After having a devastating match with Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown last year, The Undertaker requested the company to allow him to work with Drew McIntyre, as per Justin Barrasso of SI.com.

"Sports Illustrated learned that McIntyre was on the shortlist of Undertaker's requested opponents following his debacle in Saudi Arabia against Bill Goldberg at the Super ShowDown".

WWE paired 'Taker with Roman Reigns and they faced Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in 2019. It was a redemption match for The Phenom, and we are glad it didn't end the way it did in Saudi Arabia.

Right now, McIntyre is preparing for his upcoming match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 for the WWE Championship. In the future, we could see these two Superstars squaring off in the middle of the ring. Could The Scottish Psychopath be the third person to ever beat The Phenom at WrestleMania?

#1 Wrestler that wants to face him: Sting

Sting has been vocal about his desire to have a dream match with The Undertaker for years now. He wants to face him at the Shows of Shows. When Sting first joined WWE in 2014, fans thought a clash between The Stinger and The Undertaker was absolutely guaranteed. Instead of the match seemingly everybody wanted to see Sting instead stepped into a WWE ring for the first time in a match against Triple H. This resulted in his first match in WWE being a loss. After a pair of short matches on episodes on RAW, Sting would challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship in what would turn out to be his final match. The WWE Hall of Famer suffered an injury that sent him into retirement.

A few months ago, The Icon talked with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated and said this to him:

"If there was a 'Taker situation at WrestleMania, I would listen to that phone calI. I could get in condition and I could pull it off."

There was apparently some talk about finally puting Sting and The Undertaker in the ring at WrestleMania this year but we now know that such won't be the case. WWE's most loyal Superstar has chosen AJ Styles as his opponent for this year's event. Don't be surprised if The Stinger does end up returning for this dream match later this year, or even next year at WrestleMania 37 in Hollywood, where both men could potentially call it a career. It's WWE, so while it may seem like the ship has sailed on this match, you can never say never.
