I think Cena, Orton, Batista, and Edge have all benefited from their matches and feuds with The Undertaker. I remember the early days of Cena on Smackdown when he started his “Battle Rapping” with superstars and He had “Disrespected” The Undertaker Cena’s early matches with The Phenom and eventually getting the pin fall victory on him prepared Cena for the future of his career eventually becoming U.S. Champ and eventually WWE Champion.
Would there have been an Age of Orton if Randy would have dropped the ball in his feud against The Undertaker starting at Wrestlemania 21? Arguably he could have but I do believe he couldn’t have claimed to be “The Legend Killer” without going one on one with The Deadman. Could Batista ever be considered a legit heavyweight champion or contender without His wrestlemania 23 match with Taker and continuing feud over the world title and his Win over the Deadman at Cyber Sunday in '07? What about his 2008 feud with Edge that showed everyone just how damn good The Rated R Superstar can be.
Lets go back to towards the end of the Attitude Era with the likes of Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Booker T, RVD, and Chris Jericho. Taker has faced all of these men and respectively lost to them in some form or another. The Undertaker and Kurt Angle had a great series of matches befor Angle’s departure from WWE. There isn’t one main event superstar today that hasn’t benefited from getting in the squared circle with The Undertaker.
