5 future opponents for The Undertaker's Biker gimmick after WrestleMania

The Undertaker has the professional wrestling world buzzing after revealing the next evolution to his fabled character. The Phenom has reverted to the biker gimmick of his character in his recent feud with AJ Styles which culminated in their critically-acclaimed Boneyard Match during Night 1 of WrestleMania.

At WrestleMania 36, The Undertaker defeated The Phenomenal One in a Boneyard match. This marked The Undertaker competing using his biker gimmick at a WrestleMania for the first time in 17 years since WrestleMania XIX in 2003.

But, like with many aspects of professional wrestling, many are questioning what is next for The Undertaker once WrestleMania is said and done. Now that the former 7-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion has morphed back into his old gimmick, here are 5 future opponents for The Undertaker after WrestleMania.

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE

#1 Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has been one of the most compelling characters ever since his post-Survivor Series heel turn in 2019. The former WWE Universal Champion has gone on to dub himself the 'Monday Night Messiah' and surround himself with his "disciples" in the AOP and Murphy. The self-proclaimed 'Black Hand' of Monday Night RAW regularly talks about how he is saving Monday nights and doing the right thing for the people and WWE when justifying his less than stellar actions or words towards other WWE Superstars.

Ultimately it would appear that this egocentric version of Seth Rollins lacks one thing. Respect. The current version of The Undertaker is built on that very same attribute.

Throughout the early 2000s, The Undertaker would regularly cut promos about how he demanded respect. A future feud with the 'Monday Night Messiah' would be a fascinating watch as the entire story can be built on teaching Seth Rollins a thing or two about respect. The righteous character of Seth Rollins would mesh perfectly with the no-nonsense veteran who has seen it all and done it all in the world of WWE.

Also, you have to factor in that we have never seen Seth Rollins vs. The Undertaker in a one-on-one match. Therefore, should Seth Rollins and The Undertaker feud post-WrestleMania 36, we could be seeing a first-time-ever match in the WWE.

#2 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt's reinvention was one of the biggest stories of 2019. Gone was the former "eater of worlds" persona and in came the split personalities of the laughing leader of The Firefly Fun House and The Fiend.

Ever since Bray Wyatt completed this drastic reinvention, we have seen the former WWE Universal Champion make a habit of attacking several WWE Superstars and legends on various episodes of RAW and SmackDown. Were these attacks purely random? Maybe not.

In his rivalries with Daniel Bryan and John Cena, Bray Wyatt has spoken about righting wrongs of his past. By doing so, Bray Wyatt is referring to instances where WWE Superstars defeated or "wronged" him when Bray Wyatt was portraying his "eater of worlds" gimmick.

The Undertaker would undoubtedly fall into the category of someone that has "wronged" Bray Wyatt in the past. The Undertaker faced off against Bray Wyatt several times while Bray Wyatt was the cult leader of The Wyatt Family. The Undertaker would defeat Bray Wyatt in singles action at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 and also defeat Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper in tag team action with his brother Kane at Survivor Series in 2015.

Since their last meeting, both men have undergone drastic reinventions to their respective characters. Bray Wyatt has morphed into the dual personality of The Firefly Fun House leader and The Fiend, whereas The Undertaker has evolved into an updated version of his biker gimmick. Could The Fiend look to right another wrong by facing off against The Undertaker once again in the future?

#3 Braun Strowman

It is a very interesting time for Braun Strowman in WWE right now. First 'The Monster Among Men' lost his WWE Intercontinental Championship to Sami Zayn at WWE Elimination Chamber only weeks after winning the Intercontinental Championship for the first time. After that, it appeared Braun Strowman did not have any significant plans for WrestleMania 36 in the pipeline.

That all changed once Roman Reigns pulled out of WrestleMania 36 for health reasons. It was then revealed on the go-home episode of SmackDown that Braun Strowman will challenge Goldberg at WrestleMania for the WWE Universal Championship. To everyone's shock, Strowman defeated Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 to win his first world title in WWE.

Now, what better way to legitimize Braun Strowman as WWE Universal Champion than by having the newly-crowned champion face off against The Undertaker in a post-WrestleMania rivalry? It was speculated for a brief period of time back in 2015-2016 that Braun Strowman was scheduled to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32. Reportedly, The Phenom was not happy with the idea of that match and plans switched to The Undertaker facing Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

The Undertaker is much more vulnerable and able to put guys overusing the biker gimmick as the mystique of The Deadman isn't as overbearing. Braun Strowman could certainly solidify himself as worthy of being WWE Universal Champion and a main event caliber talent by successfully defeating The Undertaker after WrestleMania. It would also come full-circle for The Phenom as he puts over a man who he was previously hesitant to work with many years ago and in the process, solidify Strowman as WWE's next "big man" Superstar.

#4 Drew McIntyre

Like is the case with Braun Strowman, this is currently a pivotal time in the WWE career of Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Psychopath is on the verge of becoming the first-ever Scottish WWE Champion and has a WrestleMania date with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.

Many are speculating that the Men's 2020 Royal Rumble match winner will leave the WWE Performance Center after WrestleMania weekend with the WWE Championship gold around his waist. Like with any WWE Champion, the major question coming out of WrestleMania has to be, "who am I facing next?". Why not The Undertaker?

It wouldn't be the first time that The Undertaker and Drew McIntyre have crossed paths either. The two have indeed faced each other previously in singles action. On the March 19, 2010 episode of Smackdown, the then-WWE Intercontinental Champion McIntyre would face off against The Phenom only weeks before The Undertaker would face Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 26. Spoiler, it didn't go well for McIntyre.

However, a feud between McIntyre and Undertaker in modern-day WWE was also teased in 2019. During Shane McMahon's feud with Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre sided with the former in their attempt to put down The Big Dog. This would lead Taker siding with Reigns in a tag team match against Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon at Extreme Rules 2019.

During the match, we saw several stare downs and face-offs between The Phenom and Scottish Psychopath. While the physicality between the two opponents may have been limited, could they have been saving it for a future one-on-one showdown? With McIntyre possibly winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, this could be the perfect time to revisit this potential feud with The Undertaker once WrestleMania is in the books.

#5 Aleister Black

Ever since Aleister Black debuted in WWE, fans have been clamoring for The Dutch Destroyer to one day face off against The Undertaker.

The story seems to write itself. Both dark, gothic characters. Both begun their WWE careers as the brooding, silent types but have eventually grown into well-known and acclaimed talkers on the microphone. Some have even gone as far as to say that Aleister Black may be a "2020 version" of The Undertaker. An argument could certainly be made for and against that statement.

Nevertheless, the fans are still wondering if we will indeed, one day, see the dream match of Aleister Black vs. The Undertaker. Perhaps Taker's evolution back into The Biker gimmick could hold the key for this feud finally happening.

Now that The Undertaker has changed his gimmick, he can finally call out Aleister Black for being a rip-off of The Undertaker. That's right, the gimmick could once again allow The Undertaker to turn heel! What better way to get a young talent such as Aleister Black over than by calling him out for being a "rip-off Undertaker" and feuding with a future star of WWE, thus elevating Aleister Black to the next level in the process.

Like The Undertaker has regularly said, "Try me, I'll make you famous."
