10/10Mark Henry
The Undertaker and Mark Henry have clashed 63 times over the years, and there’s no surprise that Undertaker has had the upper hand over his fellow Texan.

Undertaker and Henry locked horns in the main event of No Mercy 2007, which was Undertaker’s return from injury. It was an underwhelming bout with Undertaker prevailing once again.

Hart captured the WWE Championship for the fifth time, but Undertaker failed to regain the title at One Night Only.

Moreover, they traded the WWE Championship in the summer of 1999, and Undertaker won their final meeting at Backlash 2002 to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship.
3/10Yokozuna
Undertaker and the late Yokozuna were close friends in real life as members of the Bone Street Krew, but on air, they had an interesting feud. They met no fewer than 142 times with Undertaker registering more wins against the two-time WWE Champion.

However, Undertaker got his revenge in another Casket match at Survivor Series 1994 despite the outside interference, but Chuck Norris was the special enforcer.
2/10Mankind
The feud between The Undertaker and Mankind is one of the most physical feuds in WWE history. Mankind defeated Undertaker at King of the Ring 1996, and he followed it up with a win in a Boiler Room Brawl at SummerSlam. However, after that point, it was one-way traffic in their rivalry.
Undertaker and Mankind wrestled 150 times which is an insane amount of matches against one opponent. Their feud had been on and off, and after Undertaker beat Mankind in a WWE Championship in 1997, they didn’t face off again until King of the Ring 1998 in a Hell in a Cell match. That Hell in a Cell match was off the charts, but Mankind took a lot of punishment by crashing and burning off the top of the cell.
1/10Kane
It comes as no shock that Undertaker and Kane have faced off 172 times throughout their careers. Undertaker and Kane’s careers are intertwined with Kane making his WWE debut at Badd Blood: In Your House in Undertaker’s Hell in a Cell match with Shawn Michaels.

Undertaker and Kane’s matches were always hit-and-miss with some matches outstanding and others underwhelming. Undertaker defeated Kane at WrestleMania 14 and 20, and he beat him in the first Inferno match. Surprisingly, Kane won three pay-per-view matches in succession against Undertaker in 2010 to successfully retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
