Who Should The Undertaker's Last Opponent Be?

Personally, I'm leaning towards the idea that Undertaker has gone into retirement. However, I can't rule out the possibility of him returning for one final feud/match. With that said, who do you think it should be against? I see a few possibilities...

1) Brock Lesnar- This one is pretty obvious. After vanishing from the scene, Undertaker returns to challenge Brock Lesnar for one more match to avenge his only WrestleMania loss. Of course, the tricky part to me would be coming up with a reason for Brock to agree to a re-match.

2) Sting- Of course, this one depends on if Sting really has signed with WWE and can still work another match. Casual fans may not be too interested in it, but I think long time and hardcore fans would be, especially if the match is hyped as being a truly once in a lifetime event, being booked as the only time the two will ever face each other in the ring and the last match for each man.

3) Bray Wyatt- For myself and others, this is a personal dream match/feud. The two characters would work so well against each other. True, Bray won't get the huge rub of ending the Streak if he wins, but I still think their could be a lot of intrigue in a story between the two. Bray could call out Undertaker, saying that an ordinary man, Brock Lesnar, finally proved that Undertaker was just a false idol. But Bray is no false idol, and if Brock can beat him, Bray can make him disappear. Eventually, Undertaker returns to except the challenge, saying that he will take all of the darkness in Bray's Heart and turn it against him.

or, something like that...:p

4) John Cena- This one is a little difficult. I'm not sure the interest in a Take/Cena match at WM is really there for fans (casual or hardcore) now that the Streak has been broken. You can't have Cena turning heel to end the Streak for example, and since the Steak is over, I'm not sure in what way Cena would need to challenge the Undertaker. Before, he could say that challenging the Streak was the only thing he hasn't done in his career, but now he can't say that because the Streak over. However, to my knowledge, Cena has never beaten the Undertaker clean one-on-one (correct me if I'm wrong). Perhaps Cena could call him out, saying he wants to know if he could defeat the Undetaker before he decides to retire.


5) Daniel Bryan- This wouldn't be my first choice, and I'm not sure what the story would be. However, their were rumours a few months ago the 'Taker wanted to work with Bryan for this year's WM match. Obviously, who knows if that's true, and of course a lot has change since then. But if Undertaker heals up well enough, I'm sure he and Bryan could put on a five star match worthy of being 'Taker's last. Plus, you can't say now that Bryan isn't a big enough star to face The Undertaker at WM, because he's just as big as CM Punk was who got o challenge him at WM 29.

6) Someone else- Those five I think are the most likely opponents, but if you have your own ideas, feel free to share!


poll to come...

Kane or John Cena.

No fuckin newbies like Seth Rollins or Daniel Bryan.

In fact, no tiny people period. Only someone who's big. I don't feel like seeing Undertaker lose to some pussy "underdog" to end his career.

I would still advocate Kane+Taker having one last match together before retiring in tandom. If they keep Kane built up as a monster until WM 31 (somehow) and then challenges Undertaker, then that would be a great way for them to go out. It woulden't be a great match because Undertaker's fragile at this point, but Kane's a very safe worker and I'm sure they know each other's ring styles well. I don't think there's any other appropriate last opponent for Kane/Undertaker then each other.

If they booked it like their first WM match together, where they both refuse to fold to each other, then it could still be a good story-driven match.

Bray Wyatt wasn't ready to challenge Undertaker at WM 30. And we don't even know if Undertaker's having another match, so everyone probably figured it's best to end the streak this year.

Also as someone who never watched WCW/TNA, I don't give a shit about Sting/Taker. So I really doubt many casual fans will either.

First of all, that's a lie. If he's ready to face John Cena then he's ready to face Undertaker. John Cena is a bigger star than Undertaker, he's more credible, he's drawn more money. Secondly, WASTING the Streak to Brock Lesnar is no better than keeping it. Lesnar got no added credibility, no fame, no anything. All it did was ensure that the last 21 Undertaker WrestleMania matches were thrown into the garbage. If there hadn't been a Streak in the first place, we'd be better off because people would've beaten him at Mania and benefited from it all these years.

Bray is one of the most over people on the roster and has been for awhile now. Sure, he'd be in a better place if he'd beaten Cena at WM 30, but don't can't act like he's a nobody.

Brock Lesnar is a special attraction. Taker has put plenty of people over in his career. Quit playing dumb!

John Cena is NOT a bigger star than The Undertaker! Nor is he more credible and selling t-shirts don't make anybody credible either.

The Streak wasn't wasted. Every year you sat your face two inches away from the TV to see if it gets broke or not, so it drew you in and served its purpose.

Better off without a Streak?? See above ^^ Thankfully Vince hires people with an education and not just random IWC posters. :lmao

First of all, if WWE gives Lesner a few more wins over credible talent, then beating Lesner at WM 31 WILL BE a big deal, since he "ended the streak and dominated since then". I initially agreed that giving Lesner the win was wasteful, but giving it to Wyatt would have been pointless imo. That would have been the ultimate "push the guy before he and the fans are ready" incident. WWE probably wanted to avoid another Sheamus/Del Rio scenario where their early pushes amounted to nothing.

A non-title match with Cena is still less then facing Taker for the Streak in his 1 match a year, imo. Yes, Cena's a bigger talent but during this feud he was playing the "measuring stick for talent" role. At this point people expect only established stars to face Undertaker for his Streak. After beating HHH/HBK, it would have been a hard swallow for Bray Wyatt to waltz in and end the Streak.

Sting (most definitely) or Kane

rematch with Brock Lesnar would be a disaster especially what happened at WM XXX.
