5 WWE Superstars who could induct The Undertaker into the Hall of Fame

The Undertaker will take his place among wrestling's elite in April after being announced as the headliner for this year's WWE Hall of Fame.

The Deadman retired from in-ring competition in the summer of 2020 after more than three decades in the business. Easily one of the most recognizable names in wrestling, The Undertaker's career has eclipsed all who came before it, and it's almost a certainty that the likes of The Phenom will never be seen again.

The seven-time world champion has made many close friends in the wrestling business over the years, which means that there are several potential candidates to induct him into the Hall of Fame.

The following list looks at just five potential WWE Superstars who could induct The Undertaker into the WWE Hall of Fame.

#5. Mick Foley could be the man chosen to induct The Undertaker into the WWE Hall of Fame

Mick Foley is already a WWE Hall of Famer and has been on hand for several returns to the company in the past.

The Hardcore Legend has The Deadman to thank for some of the most iconic moments in his career, including their epic Hell in a Cell match back in 1998. Foley still bears the scars from this encounter, and it was the match that propelled both men to become household names.

Foley was one of Undertaker's best-known rivals. The two were among the top stars in WWE during the fabled Attitude Era and have shared some interesting moments together both inside and outside the ring.

Foley and The Undertaker have remained friends in real life, and it's clear that the former Champion will have some incredible stories to share with the WWE Universe if he is the man to induct him.

Of course, there is a long list of stars who could be the ones to welcome The Deadman into the Hall of Fame, but given the history between the two men, it's hard to rule Foley out as a potential candidate.

#4. Brock Lesnar could be the man to induct The Undertaker into the WWE Hall of Fame

Brock Lesnar was the man to finally end The Undertaker's undefeated streak back at WrestleMania 30.

The Deadman chose Lesnar as his conqueror, and The Beast has since become one of the biggest stars in the company. The two men share a common bond following that match, since Undertaker revealed that much of the bout was performed while he was concussed.

While Paul Heyman has done most of the talking for the better part of Lesnar's career, The Beast recently revealed that he's actually quite skilled on the mic. The former world champion has become one of the most interesting characters on WWE TV lately, and an opportunity to induct Taker could allow him to finally talk openly about ending the streak.

There is still the ongoing rumor that Lesnar went into business for himself that night, a rumor that was started by Paul Heyman himself. Brock could end up confirming or putting that rumor to bed at the Hall of Fame ceremony.

#3. Triple H could return to induct The Undertaker into the WWE Hall of Fame

Triple H was one of The Undertaker's greatest rivals and someone who should at least be considered to induct The Deadman into the Hall of Fame.

The two men collided at WrestleManias 17, 27 and 28, with Taker coming out on top each time. More recently, The Brothers of Destruction and DX both reunited for a match at Crown Jewel back in 2018. The two men's careers have run side by side for decades now.

Triple H is a future Hall of Famer himself, but given his recent health issues, he may not be up to a public appearance of this level by April.

If he's healthy, though, The Game is one of the very few remaining superstars to have shared the stage with The Phenom in WWE's hottest era. Like Mick Foley, he would have some fantastic stories to share about The Deadman's early career.

#2. Vince McMahon could be the one to induct The Undertaker into The Hall of Fame

Vince McMahon is the Chairman of WWE and has shared some iconic moments with The Undertaker over the past few decades. From on-screen rivals to real-life best friends, McMahon is the reason why Undertaker was unable to turn down so many returns to the company ahead of his 2020 retirement.

While the perfect person to induct The Deadman would have been Paul Bearer, given the boost that he gave to the former world champion in his early days, the next best person would have to be Vince McMahon.

McMahon has been part of the company for the whole of The Undertaker's career and has been the one behind his success. Over the years, McMahon pitched several stars to end the streak, but in the end, it was The Undertaker who made the call. The two share an understanding and mutual respect not often seen in the business.

The Undertaker owes much of his career to the WWE Chairman, and since McMahon makes all the decisions, it's hard to imagine him passing up the opportunity to honor one of his biggest stars.

#1. Undertaker's "brother" Kane could be the one to induct him into the Hall of Fame

The Undertaker arguably only became a star because of his feud with Kane. Paul Bearer was an expert when it came to storytelling and was able to perfectly set the two up for what became one of the most memorable storylines in WWE history.

The Undertaker was on-hand to deliver the news to Kane regarding his Hall of Fame induction last year, so it feels like a full-circle moment for Kane to be the one to induct his "brother" this time around.

Kane and Taker are synonymous with each other. As brothers or as rivals, the two men changed the course of WWE's history, and have both been able to become stars in their own right in the years since.

Since Paul Bearer can't be the man to do the honors, Kane is the perfect pick. Given his new role as the Mayor of Knox County, The Devil's Favorite Demon has become accustomed to making speeches in recent years.
