The Undertaker is arguably one of the biggest Superstars that WWE has ever seen and probably will ever see in the future. Having an illustrious career filled with championships, accolades, and countless WrestleMania moments, it goes without saying that The Undertaker is a sure-shot WWE Hall of Famer, whenever he does retire.
The Deadman is in the news recently for a unique documentary series on him "Undertaker: The Last Ride" on the WWE Network. After maintaining kayfabe throughout his career, this has been the first time that Mark Calaway has allowed the WWE cameras to follow his journey as a WWE Superstar and a human being. The series has been receiving praise from fans and critics alike!

The series focuses on The Undertaker reflecting around the decision of him supposedly retiring and coming back again. There has been a question among the WWE Universe as to why The Deadman needs to come back after being at the top of the company for all these years? He has achieved all that there is to, right? Actually, no!
Let's take a look at the five things that The Undertaker is yet to accomplish in his star-studded WWE career. Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
#5 The Undertaker has never been Mr. Money in the Bank
The Undertaker is one of the few top WWE Superstars to have never won and even competed in a Money in the Bank ladder match. The MITB matches were introduced in 2005 at WrestleMania 21, and have seen many top Superstars win the briefcase and get themselves a world title shot at any time of their choice.
While The Phenom has competed in numerous gimmick matches throughout his careers including the Royal Rumble, Hell in a Cell, and the recent Boneyard Match, he has somehow never competed in a MITB match despite it being around for quite some time.
But he has been a victim of a MITB cash-in at the hands of Edge in 2007, where he ended up losing his World Heavyweight Championship to the Rated-R Superstar after the cash-in on SmackDown.
With him hardly having one or two matches a year now, it looks highly unlikely that we will ever see The Deadman holding the MITB contract!
#4 The Undertaker hasn't won the Intercontinental and the United States Championship
The Undertaker is a seven-time World Champion in WWE, having won the WWE/WWF Championship four times and the World Heavyweight Championship thrice. He has also won the tag team titles on numerous occasions and even held the Hardcore Championship once. But there are two major titles that The Deadman has never won - the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship.
Even surprising is the fact that he has never even challenged for one of these championships. Yes, the Undertaker has never competed for the United States Championship, despite reinventing himself as "The American Badass" for a few years during the early 2000s.
As for the Intercontinental title, The Deadman has challenged for the same on multiple occasions but was surprisingly unable to win it every time. He has challenged Goldust for the IC title in a casket match and also took on Triple H once for the title. The Intercontinental Championship is often referred to as the "Workhorse" championship but even after competing in the ring for 30 years, The Phenom has never held it!
#3 The Undertaker is not a Grand Slam Champion
Well, this is pretty much an aftereffect of him never winning the two mid-card championships, as mentioned in the last slide. The Undertaker, despite being referred to many as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, is not a Grand Slam Champion.
In case you don't know, a "Grand Slam" is an accomplishment recognized by pro wrestling promotions when a wrestler wins a set of specific championships throughout his career. WWE has had two formats for the Grand Slam, the first of which included a Primary World Championship, a Tag Team Championship, a Secondary Championship (Intercontinental), and a Tertiary Championship (European or Hardcore).
WWE revised the format of a Grand Slam in 2015, and the new format requires the Superstar to have won a Primary World Championship (WWF/WWE/Universal), a Tag Team Championship (WWE/RAW/SmackDown) and both the Intercontinental and United States Championships.
It's tough to imagine The Phenom going after these titles anymore. But the reports suggest that WWE has signed him for a contract of 15 years, so you never know! Still...very unlikely!
#2 The Undertaker has never won the King of the Ring tournament
Being the King of the Ring was once considered to be a big deal in WWE. It still is, but the tournament has lost a lot of its credibility. Nevertheless, there have been numerous WWE Superstars and legends who have won this prestigious tournament including the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bret Hart, and many others.
This is yet another major accomplishment missing from the otherwise impressive resume of The Undertaker. Unlike the Money in the Bank matches in which he hasn't competed ever, The Deadman has been a part of two King of the Ring tournaments but was unable to win and sit on the throne.
In 2020, we saw him enter the Tuwaiq Trophy tournament at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia and pin AJ Styles to win the accolade. Unless something like that happens in a future King of the Ring tournament, it is unlikely that we'll see the Prince of Darkness be called the King of the Ring.
#1 The Undertaker has never pinned Mr. McMahon
In the ongoing WWE Network documentary "Undertaker The Last Ride", the cameras have shown the immense respect and care that The Deadman and his boss, Vince McMahon have for each other. The Undertaker mentions in the documentary that Vince is like a father figure and a brother to him and said the following.
"I can’t think of anybody more influential in my life, other than my father, than Vince. I love Vince to death. I would take a bullet for the man, honestly.”
But on-screen, Mr. McMahon and The Undertaker have had many memorable rivalries, matches, and moments against each other. Surprisingly, The Deadman has never been able to defeat his boss in any of their matches.
The two famously fought each other in a Buried Alive match at Survivor Series 2003, but Kane interrupted in that match to help Vince bury The Deadman in dirt and win the match. The two also took on each other on RAW in May 1999, but this time as well it was the evil McMahon who won by disqualification after 'Taker shoved the referee.
