The Undertaker has been taking a more active role in WWE of late.
Over the past year, the retired legend has acted as an on-screen coach for WWE’s LFG show, appeared multiple times on NXT programming, and has even been reported to be working backstage with WWE-owned lucha libre promotion AAA.
Clearly eager to be more involved with the company, the Hall of Famer could yet return to television full-time in a new capacity — perhaps leading his own faction.
If The Undertaker does start his own dark and gothic stable, which stars could we see join him?
6. Aleister Black
Vibe-wise, there are few current WWE stars closer to The Undertaker than Aleister Black, with both men’s dark characters built around the occult.
Black returned to WWE earlier this year after a stint in AEW, however, while he’s recently been featured in a feud with Damian Priest on SmackDown, he has largely felt directionless.
As one of the company’s best in-ring performers, Black has the tools to be pushed far beyond his current position.
Aligning him with The Undertaker would give Black a bigger spotlight and the opportunity to push into WWE’s upper tier of stars.

5. Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss is a current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Charlotte Flair.
However, becoming part of the team has not seen her shed the eerie gimmick that sees her interact with her doll Lilly.
Again, the vibes mirror that of The Undertaker.
Her team with Charlotte was only ever intended to be short-lived, and if The Undertaker did start a faction, we could well see Bliss turn on her partner.

4. Damian Priest
The past few months have seen former WWE Champion Damian Priest lose much of the momentum he built over the previous year.
Priest hasn’t appeared on a PLE since Backlash in May and, after wrapping up his feud with Drew McIntyre, has instead been involved in a stop-start television program with Aleister Black on SmackDown.
With his direction stalled, aligning him with The Undertaker makes sense — visually and character-wise, Priest’s look and aura feel like a natural fit for such a potential faction.
A charismatic performer who consistently delivers in-ring, being placed in an Undertaker-led group could be exactly what he needs to kickstart his momentum.

3. The War Raiders
The War Raiders are one of WWE’s most accomplished tag teams – both Erik and Ivar are top-tier in-ring workers.
Since losing the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 41, however, the duo have felt largely directionless on Raw.
That could be remedied by positioning them in a high-profile faction alongside The Undertaker.
Their Viking-based presentation would mesh with the dark, gothic vibe of an Undertaker-led stable, while guaranteeing quality in-ring performances.

2. Oba Femi
Few would argue that, character-wise, The Undertaker and current WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi have much in common.
In-ring, however, the similarities are apparent: Femi like The Undertaker is an imposing big man worker with a commanding presence and palpable charisma.
Earlier this year, The Undertaker even appeared on NXT programming to endorse Femi, pointedly declaring that NXT was Oba’s “yard.”
While their personas don’t currently align, Femi looks every bit a can’t-miss future main roster star — and being linked with The Undertaker in some form could help elevate him into that position.

1. Nikki Cross
Despite debuting with much fanfare last summer, the Wyatt Sicks have struggled to make a meaningful impact on WWE programming.
Arguably the faction member who has suffered most from this is Nikki Cross, who hasn’t wrestled since last December.
Cross is not only arguably the strongest in-ring worker in the group, but also one of the most unique performers on the women’s roster.
Moving her out of the Wyatt Sicks and into an Undertaker-led faction would allow her to retain her dark presentation, while giving her a higher-profile role and the chance to return to the ring.
