10 Wrestlers Who Could Take Over From The Undertaker

9. Bray Wyatt

The most logical heir to The Undertaker’s throne, at this point, would be Bray Wyatt. And while it’s the obvious choice, there’s still a question as to whether Wyatt is really ready to step up and fill in for such an iconic character.

If he is, however, there are a few things to consider.

For starters, can you make him into the unstoppable force that The Undertaker became? Probably not; it’s a little too soon. Yet everyone has to start somewhere, and since Wyatt is already pretty over, skilled on the mic, and absolutely fantastic with his Deliverance inspired character, there’s certainly an opportunity to start something long term.

Second, what makes him more than just another heel? Yes, Wyatt’s good, but to step up and fill in for such a legend, he needs to be more than good. He needs to be iconic. So help him out with that. For example: give him a signature match. The Undertaker, of course, is known for casket matches and buried alive. Have Wyatt partake is something similar, but tailored to his character (call it a Bayou/swamp match, or perhaps have him adopt an existing gimmick match like a straightjacket match).

Wyatt’s definitely a guy to watch as far as taking the reigns from Taker, and there’s still plenty of time to develop him.
