For more than a quarter century The Undertaker has been entertaining generations of wrestling fans with his supernatural gimmick. His in-ring and promo skills have always captured the attention of fans. He has performed at the top in WWE for almost 30 years now.

The Undertaker is one of the most legendary characters ever produced by the WWE. The Phenom's most famous accomplishment is his streak. He had 21 straight victories at the Show of Shows. However, this streak was broken by Brock Lesnar in 2014 at Wrestlemania 30.

The Undertaker holds the record for most Wrestlemania victories with 24 wins. He has lost only two matches at the Show of Shows with his first loss in the one-on-one match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30 and the second one to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 33.

Most people thought that the match against Reigns was his last match but The Undertaker returned at Wrestlemania 34 and had a match against John Cena. The Undertaker has appeared a couple of times after Wrestlemania 34 and is working on a part-time schedule.

Michaels' rivalry with the Undertaker was one of the greatest rivalries in WWE.

On 3 September 2018 Michaels claimed that Triple H would cerebrally assassinate The Undertaker at WWE Super Showdown. As Michaels was speaking The Undertaker came out and reminded Shawn Michaels that how he retired him eight years ago.

Undertaker further went on and said that it was only due to his fear that Shawn Michaels hasn't come out of retirement and if he ever did he will put him down again.

At Super Showdown Triple H defeated The Undertaker, but after the match, Undertaker and Kane attacked Michaels and Triple H. On the following episode of Raw, Shawn Michaels announced that he and Triple H will face The Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel.

Shawn Michaels came out of retirement and wrestled after 8 years at Crown Jewel and the man hadn't lost his touch. Michaels and Triple H defeated the Brothers Of Destruction at Crown Jewel. The rivalry between Michaels and Undertaker looks far from over and a match at Wrestlemania 35 could be the match that ends this rivalry forever.

The fans would love to see these two men fight each other one more time and it will definitely get mainstream media's attention. This match could perhaps be the last match of The Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels is the perfect candidate to retire the Undertaker. This match will be the perfect farewell to the Undertaker.

#3 AJ Styles

AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers to ever step foot in a WWE ring. He is the current WWE Champion and is a part of the Smackdown Roster.

As we all know, Smackdown Live is the house that AJ Styles built. But The Undertaker was one of the most dominant stars on Smackdown from 2002 to 2010. Both of these superstars have tremendously contributed to the success of Smackdown and the WWE.

Styles is the current WWE champion, but it is unlikely that he will stay champion till Wrestlemania 35. His current reign as WWE champion just completed one year and his reign as champion might soon be over. So it is perfect for Styles to face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 35.

WWE can promote the match as the 'Phenom vs Phenomenal' match just like they promoted the match between Lesnar and CM Punk as the 'Beast vs Best' match.

Both of the superstars have great promo skills and when they will confront each other it will definitely be a sight to behold. A match between them will definitely tear the house down and this match will also help Styles to further solidify his legacy.

'The Phenom' vs 'The Phenomenal One' will be an outstanding rivalry if it will be booked properly.

#2 Braun Strowman

This match would be amazing

Braun Strowman was introduced to the Universe as the fourth member of the Wyatt Family. He arrived wearing the mask of a black sheep and was being promoted as 'The Black Sheep'.

Strowman has improved during the years and he is currently being booked as an unstoppable force. He is being booked as a babyface right now and it is working well for 'The Monster Among Men'.

Though he still is one of the most dominant and popular wrestlers on the roster right now, his credibility has been hurt by losing multiple Universal Title matches to Brock Lesnar. One way to bring back his credibility is by booking him against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 35.

The Undertaker and Strowman briefly feuded in 2015 during the Wyatt Family’s feud with the Brothers of Destruction. The WWE has also teased a feud between Strowman and the Deadman in the past with the duo engaging in a stare down on Raw.

The match between The Undertaker and Braun Strowman will certainly be entertaining as both of these superstars have a different aura which many cannot replicate. If we get to see Strowman vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania 35 we can be sure that the match between them will be awesome.

Finn's career will get a huge boost
Finn's career will get a huge boost

Topping the list of dream opponents for The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 35 is 'The Demon King'- Finn Balor. Finn Balor is one the best performers in the WWE right now. The first ever Universal Champion is currently involved in meaningless feuds and it looks like the WWE's creative team has no idea what they should with Balor.

Balor is an extremely talented superstar who deserves to be in the main event. One way to get his career back on track is by booking him against The Undertaker. The Undertaker is one of the few performers that can help Finn to boost his career to another level.

With both of them having supernatural gimmicks, this rivalry will certainly be entertaining and will have a mystique around it. Both of them are amazing on the mic as well as in the ring and can give the fans a classic rivalry that has not been seen in a long time.

The match could be the perfect retirement match for the Undertaker as he will pass the torch to Finn Balor. Winning the match against the Undertaker will bring back Balor in the main event picture and help him to get on the top of the WWE.
