Expert Poll: Who should be The Undertaker's final opponent? 

Matty Paddock - Sportskeeda and Daily DDT

Light vs. Dark? Could the Deadman end his career against the Messiah?

Matty Paddock has been covering professional wrestling in the UK for the last four years, including the Independent and Daily Mirror. Matty’s work has been sourced by the Associated Press, BBC, Bleacher Report, Yahoo, MSN, CBS, Sports Illustrated and many more.

He's had the honoring of interviewing stars like Triple H, Roman Reigns, Stephanie McMahon, Cody Rhodes, Jon Moxley and a myriad of others.

Like many of us, Matty has thoroughly enjoyed the first episodes of The Last Ride series. He says the series has been brilliantly cathartic in slowly edging fans towards the conclusion that Mark Calaway needs to step away from the wrestling ring. Which is difficult for so many who have been heavily invested in the character over the last three decades.

How about an unconventional light vs. dark match up to send the Undertaker off?

"For my money, the only way he should do that is against Seth Rollins. You may consider that to be a fairly tepid choice, but here’s my reasoning:

The Undertaker doesn’t need to do a job on his way out. The idea that as a seasoned pro he should put over a talent on the up has already been exhausted.

WWE wanted to establish Brock Lesnar as it's main star at Taker’s expense a few years ago and had him end The Streak.

Roman Reigns was due to get the ultimate rub by retiring Taker in 2017 but, as we know, that failed to materialize. So let’s not worry about The Phenom trying to put anyone else over - it’s been done enough.

Secondly, Seth Rollins can withstand being beaten by The Undertaker. Credit to the former Shield member - he’s strong enough, established enough and over enough to take a loss at Taker’s hands and come back fighting soon after. Look at AJ Styles as an example of that. His Mania defeat hardly buried his career, even if he did find himself six feet under. In short - you’re doing Seth no damage.

Lastly, creatively it makes sense. Who better to go up against The Undertaker - a man who once called himself the Lord of Darkness - than The Monday Night Messiah? While the character of The Undertaker wasn’t necessarily created on a basis of faith, it has certainly touched on those themes, many of which Rollins has weaved into his current character. Having the two of them extolling the virtues of their respective ‘beliefs’ would make for one heck of a promo segment.

So there you have it. Let’s have The Undertaker and Seth Rollins tear the house down before the Deadman picks up the win. It won’t be a squash - Rollins deserves more and should get it - but at the end of the match, Seth is getting his hands folded over into his chest and pinned for the 1-2-3, one last time. As for when? Let’s say Survivor Series. The perfect dovetail to the career and story greatest wrestling character of all time. The same event, 30 years apart."
