10 Wrestlers Who Could Take Over From The Undertaker

4. Batista

If you need someone special, someone larger than life, and someone who can be sold as an indestructible force, Batista certainly fits the bill.

Here’s how: you make Batista more like his Drax character in Guardians of the Galaxy, minus the makeup job.

Yes, he’d be a part timer just coming in for the big show, but we’re already at that point with The Undertaker – and honestly, having big one-off bouts like that adds something special to the proceedings. There’s a large amount of general public interest in WrestleMania. You have people who won’t watch any other wrestling PPV over the course of the year that will tune in for it.

While the age issue impacts Batista much the same way it has other names on this list, Batista has shown a willingness to return. His success in Hollywood has raised his profile, which could help the WWE immensely, especially given his participation in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and the upcoming Bond film Spectre.

This is probably the shortest time window of any potential “replacement” on the list, and the least likely, but it could work. The Rock could work here as well, but the Rock is already iconic.
