During the Six Feet Under podcast, on which The Undertaker usually speaks weekly, he name-dropped some potential candidates who could face and potentially dethrone the American Nightmare before WrestleMania 41. He named superstars such as Gunther and Randy Orton, but what caught everyone’s attention was the name of Brock Lesnar. He said, “You got Seth yeah I mean that that would be one you know one of the first things I would think. You got Seth you’re going to have Gunther. Yeah I mean he obviously lost the Intercontinental Belt but that’s the sign right there it’s time to move up a level. You know they had to get that off of him so it puts him in a different situation. Randy’s still sitting there.” He further added, “Brock is not completely out of the picture. It’s what Triple H said. I mean there’s some hurdles he’s got ahead of him to get back to 41.”

Since he arrived in WWE, Logan Paul has established himself as one of the company’s top superstars, despite coming from the entertainment world and having a relatively short career within the industry. This is due in part to his commitment and charisma, qualities that have managed to connect with fans and have allowed him to earn a prominent place in the company.

During a previous Six Feet Under podcast, Taker mentioned that Logan stands out for feeling different from the rest of the superstars, which is attributed to his background outside of the industry and his distinct development compared to traditional wrestlers. Currently, Logan Paul holds the United States Championship, but the sky is the limit for the Maverick. So maybe he might end up establishing himself as the underdog to dethrone the champ? What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
