The Undertaker often garners quite a significant amount of heat these days from the hardcore WWE fans for continuing to perform at WrestleMania each year despite being a 'shell of his former self' and relatively out of shape. Despite this, the simple fact remains that the 53 year old Deadman is still a very powerful individual - a man I surely wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of. If you did, there's a great possibility you'd feel The Undertaker's heat or wrath in real-life which is something I don't even want to imagine. Jokes aside, The Undertaker is still a truly imposing wrestler, and while he definitely does look a little bit out of shape on WWE television, if you were to see 'The Phenom' in real-life, you'd undoubtedly shake in your boots - unless of course you're the height and size of an athlete such as LeBron James.

Although 'Taker is certainly starting to slow down in regards to his in-ring performances and overall training leading up to matches, he's still a pretty huge (and strong) guy. You can be sure The Undertaker could still take on many WWE stars in real-life fights. Even wrestlers who've 'dominated' Undertaker on-screen. But at the same time, there are also some current WWE stars who're quite imposing in their own right, and it can be guaranteed that 'Taker would be afraid of some of the WWE's most intimidating wrestlers if things were to get 'real' backstage or outside the company. Today, we're going to be looking at 10 WWE stars The Undertaker could still take in a real-life fight, and 8 he's probably afraid and scared of.

18 Could Still Take: Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker have feuded with each other in the past on WWE television. While Undertaker defeated Wyatt convincingly, who would you pick to walk out the winner in a real-life brawl between the two? Personally, I'd definitely still go with the 53 year old Undertaker, because while Wyatt does have some heft to him, 'Taker surprisingly still seems like a much quicker striker and dodger. However, for the relatively big guy that Bray is, he can certainly still move fairly fast. Does Bray Wyatt come across as a man with a mean left or right jab? Not particularly, and I'm almost positive The Undertaker would cleanly defeat Bray Wyatt in a real-life fight backstage. That being said, I'm not knocking Bray by any means, and he'd probably do a bit of damage in his own right to 'Taker.

However, The Deadman will undoubtedly win this contest. At the same time, the same story probably won't be said five years from now because The Undertaker will have undoubtedly slowed down even more by then, and Bray may come out the victor in a brawl with The Phenom. Perhaps The Undertaker's starting to develop a bit of a gut, but don't be fooled into thinking 'Taker doesn't have those 'hands' anymore.

17 Probably Afraid Of: Baron Corbin

via si.com

Baron Corbin may have been eliminated by The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble a couple of years ago with ease, but don't let that fool you into thinking 'The Phenom' could take 'The Lone Wolf' in a real-life fight. Though Baron doesn't possess what most fans would consider to be an intimidating physique, the fact remains Corbin's still a very large guy, and he's certainly quick on his feet and has lots of power at his disposal. For those of you unaware, Baron Corbin is actually a three-time Golden Gloves Champion (amateur boxing competitions), and he also has a background in MMA. Many fans may joke about Baron's infamous belly, but the fact remains Corbin could do a heck of a lot of damage to The Undertaker if they were to ever get into a real-life fight backstage.

Unlike some of the other WWE stars featured on this list, Baron Corbin is pretty close to being the same size as 'Taker (as far as height, weight and reach).

So Corbin definitely has the advantage over Undertaker seeing he's a whole twenty years younger and is in much better shape. The Undertaker would definitely be afraid of Baron Corbin if things were to get heated between them, but at the same time, while Baron would almost be guaranteed to walk away from the fight victorious, The Deadman would certainly cause some damage to Corbin as well.

16 Could Still Take: Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose may be 'The Lunatic Fringe' on television who tends to rough around his opponents (providing they're not Brock Lesnar), but if things were to get real between Dean and The Undertaker backstage, I would unquestionably put my money on 'Taker defeating Ambrose in a real-life fight with ease. Not only does The Undertaker have a great size advantage over Ambrose (height and weight), but his reach is also far greater than Dean's. Not to mention Dean doesn't particularly come across as a guy whose got the quick 'hands'. With that being said, Dean Ambrose is no easy win for 'Taker, because while he's weaker and smaller, Dean Ambrose is quick on his feet when it comes to throwing random punches, kicks, scratches - you name it.

The Undertaker definitely wouldn't come out of a real brawl with Dean Ambrose unscratched, but at the same time, Dean would probably walk out of the fight severely bruised and battered. Many people believe the notion that 'size doesn't always matter' in fights, but when you've got a three hundred plus pound individual who knows how to throw solid punches and jabs, the old saying from Boyz II Men's hit song 'How Do I, Say Goodbye' would undoubtedly come into play during a Dean Ambrose and Undertaker fight.

15 Probably Afraid Of: Rusev

Although Rusev was defeated by The Undertaker at The Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, you can be sure that in a real-life shoot fight, The Bulgarian Brute would undoubtedly 'crush' The Phenom. While Rusev is similar in size and build as Bray Wyatt, a man we listed as a WWE star The Undertaker could still take in a real-life fight, Rusev is a far superior athlete in every imaginable way, and one 'Taker could not easily defeat. Not only does Rusev move as quickly  and agile as a man half his size, but Rusev also has the power of a horse which is very hard to outmatch.

Pound for pound, Rusev is one of the strongest wrestlers in the WWE today, and it can be guaranteed that The Undertaker would be afraid of Rusev if things were to get heated between the two backstage. Rusev may be booked like a comedy act on television, but he's undoubtedly a man most of the current WWE locker room wouldn't want to mess with. I'd say Rusev's pretty well equal with Samoa Joe when it comes to the overall damage they'd cause to The Deadman, and I would put all my money on Rusev walking out victorious in a real-life brawl with Undertaker. If only the WWE realized the kind of brute monster they have in Rusev, because it's certainly not everyday you find an athlete the caliber of Rusev who's willing to wrestle day in and day out.

14 Could Still Take: Randy Orton

via wrestling-edge.com

The Undertaker may be getting up there in age, but I would still bet that The Deadman could still take Randy Orton in a real-life fight. Now don't get me wrong, Randy's still in absolutely phenomenal shape as we speak, but The Undertaker still has the overall weight, height and reach advantage over The Viper, and judging by Undertaker's most recent match-ups against the likes of John Cena And Rusev, it's clear The Phenom still has that intense and lightning quick striking ability. Randy's definitely powerful in his own right, and by no means is Orton 'small', but let's be honest, who would you pick to walk out the winner in a real-life brawl between the two?

If you disagree and believe Randy would defeat 'Taker in a fight, leave your thoughts in the comments section below as we're always interested in hearing your opinion. However, I think a bulk majority of fans would agree that The Deadman would be heavily favoured on the betting odds sites if Randy And Undertaker were scheduled for an all-out UFC style fight. With that said, the fact The Undertaker could still take Randy Orton in a brawl shouldn't convince other WWE stars backstage to think that they can take Orton lightly, because there's very few current stars who could legitimately defeat Orton in a real-life fight besides the obvious picks.

13 Probably Afraid Of: Samoa Joe

via bodyslam.net

Whether or not Samoa Joe's booked like the true 'freak of nature' he is in real-life on television, the simple fact remains Joe's one of the most dangerous and intimidating wrestlers on the current WWE roster. Now I doubt Samoa Joe would pick up a victory against the likes of Brock Lesnar in a straight up UFC fight, but most other talent? Absolutely with ease. Samoa Joe may not be the tallest individual, but he's undoubtedly super quick on his feet, and he knows how to use his size and weight to his advantage. The Undertaker may be close to seven feet tall and weighing roughly three hundred pounds (pretty close to the same as Joe weight-wise), but I have no trouble saying that The Undertaker would be incredibly scared if he were to get in a real-life backstage altercation or all out fight with Samoa Joe.

As we discussed earlier, Undertaker's got those 'hands' as Braun Strowman would proudly say, but in all other categories, I'd argue Joe has 'Taker outmatched pretty severely. The Undertaker may be one of the WWE's locker room leaders, but he'd definitely show Samoa Joe the respect (and space) he deserves. While Samoa Joe's been booked pretty horrendously on television, just know that he could literally wipe out much of the current roster in real shoot fights.

12 Could Still Take: Kevin Owens

via youtube.com

Kevin Owens definitely knows exactly how to use his two hundred and sixty six pound frame to his advantage, and despite not possessing a whole lot of muscles, Kevin's still quite powerful in his own right. Not many wrestlers in Owens' weight category are able to perform Moonsaults and other high flying moves off the top rope, and this is why Kevin's been so successful in WWE - Owens' talent is very rare for a man his size. Kevin definitely comes across as a bruiser in and out of the squared circle, and a guy who certainly wouldn't back down from a fight if things got heated. However, as tough as Kevin Owens is, the fact remains 'The Prizefighter' would almost be guaranteed to lose a real-life fight against The Undertaker.

Comparable to Bray Wyatt, while Kevin has that heft to him, he's rather short compared to 'Taker, and his reach is nowhere near that of The Phenom's. As such, The Undertaker would likely still be able to take Kevin Owens in a real-life fight, unless of course The Prizefighter goes for a low blow or two and gains the advantage. Regardless, Kevin Owens is one of the WWE's most talented and diverse Superstars on Monday Night Raw, and we can only hope Vince starts to book him a little bit better moving forward considering Owens recently signed a new five year deal with the WWE.

11 Probably Afraid Of: Shinsuke Nakamura

via wwe.com

Shinsuke Nakamura certainly didn't earn the nickname 'The King Of Strong Style' without spending years proving to fans why he's deserving of it, and Nakamura is by far one of the toughest (and most dangerous) wrestlers in the WWE today. Prior to making his way to NXT, Nakamura was a force to be reckoned with in NJPW, and few talents could match Shinsuke's strong style (or shoot) wrestling. This is why Nakamura was such an enormous star in Japan (of course also because of his immeasurable charisma and talent), and Shinsuke has since transitioned into WWE as one of the companies most popular and brightest stars.

While some fans may claim Shinsuke Nakamura doesn't look very intimidating, for those who believe that, you'd be singing a different tune if you were ever in a one-on-one fight scenario with Nakamura. For those unaware, Shinsuke actually has a background in MMA, and his record stands at four wins, one loss, and one no contest. Nakamura certainly isn't a wrestler to take lightly, and I'd undoubtedly put my money on Shinsuke walking out of a real-life fight against The Undertaker the victor. However, don't underestimate 'Taker's ability, and while he'd probably be afraid of Nakamura heading into the fight, he'd put of a good scrap none the less.

10 Could Still Take: Triple H

Triple H and The Undertaker have quite the storied past, and their feuds were some of the best in recent WWE history. Triple H and 'Taker are two of the few remaining Attitude Era stars left in WWE, and they both have a great deal of respect for one other behind the scenes. Not to mention the fact Undertaker was reportedly making Hunter feel better about pursuing Stephanie McMahon all those years ago when the rest of the locker room was firmly against it. Regardless, as friendly as The Phenom and The Game are to one other backstage, if a situation presented itself where the two engaged in a real-life fight, Who would you pick to walk out the victor?

Personally, I'd undoubtedly go with The Undertaker, because while Triple H seems like a rugged individual who isn't afraid of brawling, 'Taker definitely has the height, weight and overall reach advantage over Hunter. Unlike some of the other WWE stars featured on this list The Undertaker could still take in a real-life fight, Triple H isn't much younger than The Deadman at 48 years of age, so they're on a pretty level playing field there. Undertaker certainly wouldn't walk out of a fight with Triple H unharmed though, because Hunter would cause his far share of damage as well.

9 Probably Afraid Of: Ronda Rousey

via wwe.com

I doubt The Undertaker is the only WWE star who fears the 'Rowdy' (and extremely dangerous) Ronda Rousey. Although Ronda isn't the dominant UFC brawler she once was just a few years back, Rousey's still incredibly dangerous, and Ronda's past of being dubbed 'the most dominant active athlete' certainly isn't too far behind her. The women of WWE definitely shouldn't be the only ones making sure they don't tick off or rub Ronda Rousey the wrong way, because I'd put my money on Ronda destroying pretty well any male wrestler on the roster too if things were to turn 'real'.

The Undertaker may look to have the advantage over Ronda Rousey given the fact he's seven foot tall, three hundred pounds and has an extremely long reach.

But the one hundred and thirty five pound Ronda Rousey unquestionably has the real advantage considering her intense background in MMA, and Ronda would have no problem wrestling The Deadman to the floor and engaging in an all-out beat down on 'Taker. This would definitely be an embarrassing experience for The Undertaker if he were to ever engage in a real-life fight with Ronda Rousey, but you can be sure The Phenom would be as respectful as possible with Ronda behind the scenes so a situation like that never occurs.

8 Could Still Take: Seth Rollins

via pinterest.fr

If there was ever a real-life WWE fight I'd be interested in observing, Seth Rollins taking on The Undertaker would definitely be an intriguing scenario. Taking a quick look at Seth's stats, The Architect weighs in at two hundred and seventeen pounds, and stands at just over six feet tall. As we've described earlier, The Undertaker has a pretty significant advantage over most current WWE stars seeing he's much larger, and the same can be said for 'Taker fighting Rollins. However, The Undertaker would be a fool to take Seth lightly if things were to get heated backstage, because while Rollins' much smaller, Seth is definitely far more agile and quick on his feet.

But at the same time, Seth Rollins doesn't come across as a real-life brawler or scrapper, and in all honesty, I believe Seth would be an easy win for The Undertaker. Rollins simply doesn't possess the power required to take control of a fight situation with a man much larger than he is such as The Undertaker, and it would undoubtedly be a one sided fight with The Phenom coming out the decisive winner. That said, if Seth Rollins was to engage in a real-life fight with a WWE star his own size, I'd definitely put my money on Rollins, because he's very powerful for a guy in the 200 pound weight class.

7 Probably Afraid Of: Bobby Lashley

via wwe.com

With Bobby Lashley back on the WWE roster, there are plenty of dream matches fans anticipate to see. Perhaps Bobby Lashley hasn't taken the WWE by storm following his surprise return on the Raw after WrestleMania 34, but he's certainly poised to make an impact in the near future none the less. As most of you can probably agree, there are very few current WWE stars who could take Bobby Lashley in a legitimate real-life fight, and The Undertaker definitely isn't one of them. Similar to Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley has a background not only in MMA, but also in amateur wrestling as well (a background very helpful for MMA fighting). While The Undertaker may be slightly heavier and taller than 'The Dominator', in every other aspect, Lashley outclasses The Undertaker heavily.

If things were to get heated between the two backstage in WWE or outside the company, you could expect 'The Phenom' to throw a few jabs, but to be overpowered by Lashley within short order. This is certainly not a situation The Undertaker would ever want to be in, and it can be guaranteed that 'Taker's somewhat afraid or scared of Lashley. However, Bobby seems like a genuinely nice guy away from the cameras, and as long as The Undertaker shows Lashley respect behind the scenes, a real-life fight situation between the two stars will likely never occur.

6 Could Still Take: AJ Styles

via ibtimes.co.uk

As phenomenal as the current WWE Champion AJ Styles truly is, the simple fact remains he'd still lose a real-life fight against the aging Undertaker. Although the dream match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles has been teased in the past, the WWE have decided against the match up to this point - who knows what the future holds considering 'Taker seems to be working more dates this year in WWE. Regardless, while AJ and Undertaker would likely be on a level playing field inside the squared circle, outside the ring in an all-out shoot fight or brawl? Styles would be absolutely decimated by The Phenom with the greatest ease.

Comparing 'The Phenomenal One' and 'The Deadman', The Undertaker undoubtedly has the size and height advantage over Styles, as well as the reach. 'Taker may have slowed down quite significantly over the past decade or so, but he's still in decent enough shape where his blows would be felt. As far as an in-ring match between AJ and The Undertaker, their styles would likely mesh well together, and if there's a wrestler on the current WWE roster who would be capable of carrying The Undertaker to a half decent match, it'd be AJ Styles without a doubt.

5 Probably Afraid Of: Brock Lesnar

via twitter.com

Whether you love or hate 'The Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar, you simply cannot deny the fact Lesnar is still a spectacle to be seen, and a rare kind of monster in Sports Entertainment. WWE or UFC, Brock stands tall as a true force to be reckoned with, and his size, strength, athleticism, and overall beast-like nature makes him a top drawing star wherever Lesnar goes. Although Brock Lesnar isn't quite the beast he was say a decade ago considering he's now 40 years old and well past his prime, Lesnar's still a near unbeatable opponent for anyone in the WWE locker room - and yes, even in the UFC locker room.

While the WWE's matches are all scripted, you can be assured Brock Lesnar would defeat The Undertaker in a real-life fight much like the dominant way he did at WrestleMania 30, if not worse. The Undertaker's got the height advantage over Lesnar, but Brock probably weighs a few more pounds that The Phenom presently, plus his clubbing arms would nearly wipe 'Taker's head off of his own shoulders. There's no denying that The Undertaker's legitimately afraid of Brock Lesnar, and he'd be the last guy 'Taker would ever try to piss off. Thankfully for Undertaker, he and Brock Lesnar are actually good friends behind the scenes.

4 Could Still Take: Big Cass

via cagesideseats.com

For those of you unaware, rumours suggest The Undertaker actually took Big Cass under his wing a while back, and whenever The Deadman's in the WWE locker room, Cass makes sure to talk to 'Taker and gain any advice that he's willing to give. Big Cass noted that many WWE stars are rather intimidated by The Undertaker, and this is pretty understandable considering the seniority 'Taker has backstage plus the respect he's earned for his decades of service to Vince McMahon. However, if Big Cass was to ever say the wrong thing to The Undertaker, and ended up angering 'The Phenom' to the point where a fight could potentially break out (Cass is known to be a little bit confrontational backstage), The Undertaker would unquestionably defeat Big Cass in a real-life fight.

Now we all know full well Big Cass is '7 feet tall and you can't teach that', so he's pretty well equal (or a bit bigger) than Undertaker height and weight wise, but from what we've seen, The Undertaker's still a far superior striker even at 53 years of age. Big Cass certainly wouldn't go down easy, but when it's all said and done, I would bet money that The Undertaker would come out of this fight the decisive winner.

3 Probably Afraid Of: Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman is quickly establishing himself as the next big thing in WWE, and a real possible candidate for the next 'face of the company' seeing Roman Reigns has failed in every way imaginable as the top babyface. Braun has all the tools, as he's enormous, extraordinarily strong, quick on his feet, and super fast for a 'Monster Among Men' weighing in at nearly four hundred pounds. As such, Braun Strowman is easily one of the most dangerous wrestlers in the WWE locker room (in and out of the ring), and the only name who'd be ranked above Strowman that I can think of is Brock Lesnar. The WWE have teased a rivalry between The Undertaker and Braun Strowman in the past, but unfortunately for us fans, we got Roman Reigns vs Undertaker instead.

However if we were to have gotten Strowman versus 'Taker, while The Undertaker could've potentially defeated Braun in a WWE match, in a real-life shoot fight behind the scenes, Braun would absolutely annihilate Undertaker. Sure The Undertaker is a great striker, but Braun is far too powerful of a man and he's just reaching his prime as we speak, so this fight would be very one sided. Perhaps The Undertaker scared Braun on television to back down, but in real-life? It's the other way around with The Deadman likely fearing Strowman immensely.

2 Could Still Take: John Cena

Just as The Undertaker defeated John Cena at WrestleMania last month with relative ease, I'd certainly still put my money on 'The Phenom' defeating John Cena in a real-life fight or brawl. Although John Cena is about as powerful a man can be at two hundred and fifty pounds, Cena's definitely not what you'd consider a real scrapper or bruiser outside the ring, and John doesn't seem to have much real fighting experience nor a background in amateur wrestling or MMA. While John is still quite a bit younger than The Undertaker, 'Taker still has the height, weight and reach advantage over Cena, not to mention The Undertaker's infamous striking ability.

Now I doubt The Undertaker could last all too long in a real-life fight before getting gassed out, but I can guarantee he'd get in enough jabs to end the fight with John Cena well within four to five minutes. That being said, if we were talking about The Undertaker from say 2008 and before, The Deadman would've undoubtedly destroyed John Cena and many other stars featured on this list within one or two minutes. No matter how old and washed up 'Taker gets, he'll still always have that striking ability, and I'm sure Vince will continue to allow The Undertaker to perform at WrestleMania each year just so long that he's able to throw up his hands.

1 Could Still Take: Roman Reigns

via stillrealtous.com

Now here's a current WWE star The Undertaker could still take in a real-life fight some of you Roman Reigns fans will disagree on, and that's totally fine. To make the long story short, as much as the WWE wants to present Roman Reigns as the 'superhuman' monster capable of destroying anyone on the roster, the fact remains Roman isn't a standout powerhouse, and there are plenty of other wrestlers in WWE who aren't promoted as being 'monsters' such as Big E and Cesaro who're far more powerful than Reigns.

In all honesty, Roman is a mediocre powerhouse wrestler, and one I'd bet money The Undertaker could still defeat in a real-life shoot fight or brawl.

Now don't get me wrong all you 'Roman Empire' fans, Reigns is still very much a strong guy, but I don't see him getting the upper hand over 'Taker if things were to get real between them behind the scenes. But at the same time, unlike the other current WWE stars we listed as wrestlers The Undertaker could still take in real-life fights, I would argue Roman would cause the most damage to 'Taker despite likely coming out the loser, and he's certainly not a talent The Undertaker would start trouble with for no reason. Who do you believe would walk out the winner in a real-life fight between Undertaker and Reigns? Please let us know down in the comments section below!
