5 Potential Opponents for Undertaker’s WWE Return

4. Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose got his chance with a big-time WrestleMania opponent in Brock Lesnar. However, their match never really got off the ground and didn’t see anything crazy happen, especially with it being a No Disqualification match. Things didn’t stay flat for Ambrose for long, though, as he held the WWE World Championship for three months.

Since losing the belt, The Lunatic Fringe has remained a top star on SmackDown. He is still a main eventer, having headlined the first two exclusive pay-per-views and will do the same in December. Seeing Ambrose reclaim the WWE World Championship would be surprising, though, and he’ll have to move on elsewhere. If that’s the case, why not build his WrestleMania 33 match sooner than later?

The Undertaker could be a potential partner for Ambrose. It would reward the latter with a chance at wrestling a legend in WWE and helping him further cement his status. Anything to help the current roster’s stock is needed, especially with creating the stars that will lead WWE past the John Cena era.

The issue here is the former Shield man hasn’t been winning much lately. While there are months to go until WrestleMania 33, he would need to go on a torrid win streak to become a formidable opponent. Losing multiple world title matches and likely dropping the one at TLC won’t help him. Ambrose could even be a potential winner of the 2017 Royal Rumble, which would obviously take him out of the running to face Undertaker.
