The influence of one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, The Undertaker is Indomitable. Not only pro wrestling fans, but people outside the WWE Universe also admire The Deadman for his ability as a performer.
When Bruno Sammartino was pinned in 1971 after eight years of being the WWWF champion, the fans were not able to believe it. Similarly, when Brock Lesnar pinned The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, the pro wrestling fans suffered a much greater shock.

Thus, the popularity of The Deadman is unparalleled across the globe. Consequently, the zealots again jumped off their seats when they got to know about a reference to the WWE Legend in a recent episode of a Marvel series.
In the fourth episode of Marvel’s Secret Invasion, War Machine namedropped The Undertaker by saying that he DDT’d Nick Fury off the top rope in a similar way the WWE Legend does.
“I DDT’d that dude from the top rope. Yeah, it was like Undertaker level. Really impressive.” War Machine, AKA James Rhodes quoted in the popular Marvel series recently. Consequently, as the episode got aired, pro wrestling fans were quick to spot it.

Thus, despite being a heel for the majority of his career, The Undertaker is one of the most adored superstars in the history of the company. In 2020, the American Badass announced his retirement from professional wrestling. Since then, he has been far away from the sports entertainment business.
The Undertaker wants to book the return of former WWE champion
When Bray Wyatt made his return to the Stamford-based promotion, a few fans compared his gimmick to The Undertaker. However, his comeback was short-lived as he was declared unfit by the company ahead of WrestleMania 39.
Since then, he has been out of action due to an undisclosed illness. Thus, for his return, The Deadman has suggested a potential angle. The WWE Legend thinks Bray Wyatt should get back to his old gimmick.
“They need to back Bray’s character up to the original character, get away from – they’ve kind of got themselves booked into a situation where it’s kind of difficult for him to have matches. I think the original Wyatt Family Bray, that’s the money.” The Undertaker said.
In 2012, The Wyatt Family made its debut on the main roster with leader, Bray Wyatt accompanied by Luke Harper and Erik Rowan. Braun Strowman eventually became the fourth member of the heel stable a year ago. However, the group was later disbanded in 2017 and the revival of The Wyatt Family with the same members is impossible.
