5 WWE Superstars that were once touted as the next Undertaker

#1. The Fiend was touted to be the next Undertaker

The Fiend Bray Wyatt

Whilst The Undertaker was winding down his career, The Fiend arrived to petrify us all with his wicked ways. He is by far the character most similar to The Undertaker that the WWE has presented to us. It looked like he had just come straight out of a horror movie. The character became extremely popular with the WWE Universe.

The Fiend possessed supernatural powers and wanted to inflict pain on all those that did him wrong in the past. The powers that he possessed went as far as being able to withstand any pain during matches. When he was taken down, he immediately continued on like nothing had happened. It was very similar to The Undertaker sitting up after being beaten down or taking a finishing move.

I just want to say thank you @WWEBrayWyatt for all you have done and for all the crap you’ve taken over the years, from husky Harris in new nexus to bray the eater of worlds, or the fiend you are iconic and we will all miss you we all thought you were the next undertaker sad day pic.twitter.com/wxjWVWskZu

The Undertaker himself recently spoke about The Fiend character with USA Today Entertainment:

"I love his character. I love it but I get nervous because sometimes they wanna over produce things and he has such a good grasp of that character. I just get nervous like...just let it go, just let it simmer, don't try to throw all the gasoline on that at one time. But yeah, he's like the new age dark side kind of guy and he's doing a great job. He really is."

The coolest character #WWE has created since "The Undertaker" just released. "The Fiend" was the type of horror character that makes me love Wrestling... it was awesome for two years... but should have been awesome for twenty plus years... pic.twitter.com/EfbpzumdWq

Sadly, the man behind The Fiend, Bray Wyatt, was recently released from WWE. It means we will not get to see a further evolution of The Fiend character that we have come to love so dearly and wanted the best for.
