5 Superstars who were rumored to be the next Undertaker

#1 Finn Balor

It just makes the most sense

The Demon King vs The Phenom! WWE should have pulled the trigger on the dream match when they had the opportunity. Instead, WWE gave Roman Reigns the honor of defeating Undertaker at last year's WrestleMania.

Owing to his connections to the mysterious, Finn Balor was billed to be an Undertaker-like force to reckon with in the WWE the day he was signed up from NJPW.

Possessing the right gimmick that complimented itself with god-gifted charisma, Balor should have deservedly been the one to take up the role of being the representative of the dark side from Taker.

The match would have compensated Balor or not getting his mandatory Universal title rematch while also keeping him fresh in the process.

With John Cena most likely to officially retire The Deadman at this year's edition of the show of shows, Balor may never get to have his date with Taker himself.

The former Universal Champion, however, can still carry on Undertaker's legacy if WWE makes him a full-time Demon. The angle has the potential to produce a memorable character, something the Reality Era of WWE is direly lacking.

We'll end the list with an honorable mention to Aleister Black, who is the current favorite to take over from the Undertaker. Honestly though, can anyone replace the future Hall of Famer?
