4 WWE Undertaker dream matches for the modern-era wrestlers
A match with The
Undertaker
for the modern era wrestlers would have been a dream showdown.
The Undertaker will go down in the
WWE
history books as one of the greatest superstars of all time. His three decades of destruction, captivating character and impressive in-ring style has made him one of the most respected and renowned figures in professional.
After thirty years of competing as an in-ring performers, The Phenom retired after his last match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. However, had he still been an active competitor, here are the top four superstars who would have proven to be a formidable challenge for The Undertaker.
4. Damian Priest
Damian Priest has been very much open about the influence of The Undertaker on his wrestling career. Priest has been called as the modern day Taker and even 'bisexual Undertaker' by others on social media.
Moreover, Priest uses Taker's Old School and Chokeslam moves in his own way in the ring. Had The Undertaker still been wrestling, a match against Priest would have been a dream come true for the young and rising star.
3. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has shared the ring with The Undertaker a few times in his WWE career. However, he did it long before he became a too attraction for the Stamford-based promotion. Amidst his rise, he did battle The Undertaker in a tag team match at the 2019 WWE Extreme Rules event, but never a singles bout. So, he would have proven to be a challenge for
The Undertaker in the modern era.

2.
Seth Rollins
Apart from Seth Rollins, both his Shield cohorts, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose have faced The Undertaker in a singles match. Moreover, Rollins was at the peak of his career when Taker was active on the roster, but never got to share the ring with The Demon from Death Valley. A match between Seth Rollins and The Undertaker would have been an exciting affair in the modern era as Taker had always put up stellar showdowns against more opponents more agile and smaller than his him.
1. Cody Rhodes
Much like Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes has shared the ring with The Undertaker in the past. However, as the flagship WWE star and at the top of his game, fans never witnessed that spectacular showdown between Rhodes and Taker. With both superstars in their prime and as active performers, Rhodes and Taker would have produced one of the greatest in-ring matches of all time.

Hulk Hogan Day: Florida to honor WWE icon on August 1; what to expect
Hulk Hogan or Terry Gene Bollea is getting the head-of-state treatment in Florida. Governor Ron DeSantis made the announcement in an X post. Hulk Hogan was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a WWE fixture for years(AP) WWE icon Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71, of a heart attack, on July 24. He had spent most of his life in Florida. What to expect on Hulk Hogan Day 'In honor of a great Floridian, Hulk Hogan, we are lowering the flags at the capitol and in Pinellas County tomorrow,' DeSantis announced, besides declaring August 1 as Hulk Hogan Day in Florida. 'Rest in peace, brother,' DeSantis added in his post. 'He was a true Floridian through and through," he also said. Notably, Hogan entered the political limelight after a fiery speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he praised 'Trumpmania' and Donald Trump – who was at that time the Presidential candidate. Hulk Hogan's appearance on stage was completed with his iconic shirt ripping-off move, at the time.

While Hogan died of a heart attack, the medical examiner noted he had previously had leukaemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm. Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home in Clearwater to answer a call about a cardiac arrest on the morning of July 24, police said. The report said the cause of death was "natural." 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them,' Hogan's wife Sky Daily posted on Instagram. 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process,' she added. 'To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry.' Hogan was perhaps the biggest star in WWE's long history, known for both his larger-than-life personality and his in-ring exploits. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon.

Triple H does signature WWE water spray at White House
Triple H, the former wrestler and current Chief Content Officer of WWE, joined President Donald Trump on Thursday, as the latter signed an executive order restoring Presidential Fitness Test in schools. Triple H or Paul Michael Levesque is the son-in-law to Secretary of the Federal Education Department Linda McMahon. (AP) 'This is a wonderful tradition, and we're bringing it back,' Trump said of the fitness test that began in 1966 but was phased out during the Obama administration. The test includes 1-mile runs, sit-ups and stretching exercises, and is used to gauge young people's health and athleticism. Others who joined Trump while he signed the order included pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau and former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender. Triple H does iconic water spray at White House | Watch In visuals shared by the White House, Triple H can be seen exiting through the doors. He takes a sip from a bottle before chucking it aside, and then proceeds to do the water spray, his introductory move from his days in the ring. 'ARE YOU READY… TO MAKE AMERICA FIT AGAIN,' the official White House handle posted. Triple H said of Trump's decision, 'I truly appreciate all that everybody is doing for the health and wellness for the entire country... I look forward to the opportunity to help make our youth healthy—help get them engaged in sports and let them learn what it takes to be successful in life.' Triple H or Paul Michael Levesque is married to Vince McMahon's daughter, Stephanie, and is thus the son-in-law to Secretary of the Federal Education Department Linda McMahon. The water spraying became synonymous with Triple H's entry during his 30 years of being a WWE wrestler, just as he made the Pedigree attack iconic in the ring. What experts feel about Presidential Fitness test The return of the exam brought mixed reactions from some who study exercise. Trump is putting a welcome focus on physical activity, but a test alone won't make America's children healthier, said Laura Richardson, a kinesiology professor at the University of Michigan. The exam is only a starting point that should be paired with lessons to help all students improve, she said. 'It's not just, you get a score and you're doomed,' said Richardson, whose teaching focuses on obesity. 'But you get a score, and we can figure out a program that really helps the improvement.'

KDA chronicles harmony: 100 books to showcase state's shared cultural legacy
Bengaluru: In a major push to promote communal amity and shared heritage, Kannada Development Authority (KDA) is set to publish 100 books that delve into Karnataka's long-standing traditions of social harmony. These books, targeted especially at youth, will document the historical and cultural legacy of harmony centres spread across various districts. The initiative, described as a cultural counterpoint to rising intolerance, is led by a team of scholars and writers handpicked by the authority. The first batch of 34 books is only awaiting a back-cover blurb by acclaimed writer and intellectual Devanur Mahadeva. "We initially planned to release all 100 books at one go, but now we are publishing 34 books, and the remaining will be published later," said Purushottam Bilimale, KDA chairman .

"We aim to equip the next generation with a nuanced understanding of Karnataka's composite culture and human values that underpin it," Bilimale said. The books will shine a light on places known for interfaith coexistence, shared places of worship, folk art forms that blend Hindu and Muslim traditions, and personalities who championed humanity and peace. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 'If given a choice, we all wanted to die on the pulau', former islander on joys of a simple life CNA Read More Undo The initiative will also explore the impact of diverse religious and cultural migrations into Karnataka over centuries. "Social harmony has been disrupted and hatred has emerged among different communities nationwide, including in Karnataka," Bilimale said. "Historically, Karnataka embraced social harmony, with multiple cultures followed by communities such as Hindu and Muslim." Tracing Karnataka's pluralistic heritage, Bilimale noted that the arrival of Islam introduced new architectural idioms while Christianity added modernity to Kannada. "Many communities have migrated and settled in the Kannada region, embracing diverse influences, leading to the unique, humane, and generous growth of the Kannada land," he added. KDA is also planning to roll out essay writing competitions at taluk and district levels to encourage students to engage with the books. Through these contests, the authority hopes to spark interest in Karnataka's layered cultural past and its relevance to the present. The editorial project has been coordinated by KDA member Ravikumar Neeha, with renowned writer Bolwar Mahammad Kunhi serving as the editor. An eight-member editorial team has worked on the texts, while a 10-member committee, prioritising new writers, was formed to execute the initiative. The books will also feature spiritual and cultural contributions from Sufi saints, Tulu Nadu deities, Shirahatti Fakkireshwar Swami, and Male Mahadeshwara. KDA said these stories and traditions are not only part of Karnataka's folk legacy but also powerful reminders of coexistence and respect across faiths.
