5 Potential Opponents for Undertaker’s WWE Return

With The Undertaker returning to WWE, who should he face if he’s going to be wrestling a match?

On Wednesday, The Undertaker’s WWE return got announced for the November 15 episode of SmackDown. This will also be the 900th episode of the Blue Brand as they will take over the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Taker had last been seen in WWE at WrestleMania 32 in April. He battled Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell match, which had plenty on the line. If McMahon won, he would get control of Raw, and Taker wouldn’t be allowed to compete at The Show of Shows ever again.

Well, The Deadman would win the match, preserving his WrestleMania career. Shane went on to get control of SmackDown anyway, so the result didn’t mean much.

The timing of the returning is interesting. Undertaker may just be around for a one-night-only ordeal or this could be to set up something bigger.

Five days after his appearance, Survivor Series will take place. The match card is already coming together, so there may not be a space for him there. However, could a surprise appearance be in store for the show, which could get announced on November 15?

The alternative, and potentially the more likely option, would be to start building Undertaker’s WrestleMania 33 match. The Wrestling Observer had noted earlier this year that he may not be returning for another match, but things could always change.

If Taker is coming back for WrestleMania 33 or another show, he’ll need an opponent. With the WWE roster having expanded since the Brand Extension, there are a handful of options. Who would be the best fit, though, to face him from Raw or SmackDown.?
