Wrestlemania 33 marked the end for the Undertaker from the WWE. He competed in his last match against Roman Reigns at the grandest stage of them all. Since Roman is bound to get a bigger push going forward to become the face of the company. The Deadman ended his career with a Wrestlemania record with a score-line 23-2.
Now, the veteran commentator Jim Ross was brought back on WWE TV for calling down the match. He was extremely proud to call the last match of the Phenome. He later revealed that it was his honour to call the end of Undertaker’s career. Also, he mentioned that the Phenome’s retirement will leave a huge void on the roster and somebody should fill it.
Recently, on his site, he stated the same on a blog. The good old JR stated that Bray Wyatt should be the successor of the Undertaker. Although WWE has not pitted the Eater of the World into the same direction, it would be something very interesting and popular decision. Plus, he noted that he will be extremely happy to see if the company takes the same decision around Wyatt.
The topic of the same was brought to the table after a fan mentioned whether WWE is thinking of replacing the Undertaker with another name. The promotion might need a larger than life persona and the fan asked whether Bray Wyatt is the suitable one in the role.

The Hall of Famer, Jim Ross stated that the move could turn out to be an interesting one. The fans always love to see him in action. Despite being the bonafide heel, he gets cheered every single time which is good indication that the audience will back any further step with him.
These were his exact comments:
“Those are big shoes to fill but if Wyatt can continue to advance his game and make the persona his own then there is a chance that it will be successful. I like this direction if that’s what it turns out to be.”
Wyatt was moved to WWE Raw during the superstar shakeup. This was a major move in his career since some major feuds might be arranged with him in near future. Rivalries with Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Brock Lesnar should take his career to the next level.
