### Career

#### 2019

Undertaker made his WSC debut on October 4, 2019 were he would challenge The Fiend in a Casket Match for the WSC Hardcore Championship. Sadly, Taker lost as he was the one to get put in the casket.

Taker returned in the 2019 Royal Rumble at #24 and immediately doing a Cactus Flip on him and rival Fiend, eliminating both. Taker didn't care, as he just wanted to mangle Fiend.

#### 2020 (Tag Title Win)

Taker returned again at the April 2020 Royal Rumble as his "American Badass" gimmick at #16, immediately eliminating Brock Lesnar. Him and kayfabe brother Kane and a bit of a scuffle, but both got eliminated by Hornswoggle

Taker would again return with Kane to form The Brothers of Destruction facing off against D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) in a Hell In a Cell Match for the WSC Hardcore Tag Team Championships. Surprisingly, Brothers of Destruction actually managed to win the tag tiles, earning Taker's first championship in WSC. They managed to successfully managed to retain against The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von), but unfortunately lost the titles to The Usos.

Taker then showed up in the November 2020 Royal Rumble at #29, taking down everyone with help from Kane and even eliminated Batista and Edge, but then got eliminated by Jon Moxley.

#### 2022

After not appearing at all in 2021, Taker returned at the WSC Pool Rumble at #30, but then got eliminated by Zombie Bray Wyatt. After 2 years, The Brothers of Destruction reunited and entered the 2022 Tag Team Elimination Chamber along with The Young Bucks, The Usos, RK-Bro, The Street Profits, and The Brawling Brutes. They were the last people out of their cage. Unfortunately, They lost as they were knocked out by an interfering Wyatt Family and pinned by Jey Uso.

Weeks later, Taker decides to pay a visit to The Fiend (AKA Zombie Bray Wyatt) after he ruined his moment at the chamber. Taker showed up and attacked Fiend after he retained his WSC Multiversal Championship in a Horror Battle Royal. It was then announced that the two will face each other for that championship in a Buried Alive Match at WrestleMania.

#### 2023-present (Multiversal title win)

The match came on February 12, 2023. Undertaker and Fiend absolutely went to town in this match, back and forth into the grave multiple times, hitting Fiend with the shovel, Taker rising up from the grave, they let every bit of anger they had in them for this iconic Buried Alive Match. When things were tough, Fiend brought in reinforcement with The Wyatt Family attacking Taker to distract him. Harper and Rowan then set up two tables across the grave to put Taker through them. However, Taker also had reinforcement, in the form of Kane acing like a guardian angel (or demon). Though, that didn't last long enough. Just as Fiend was about to hit Kane with his patented mallet, the one and only Shrek made his return to WSC to stop their antics (even giving Rowan a swamp stinkface). Eventually, Taker puts Fiend in a last ride through the tables, and piles up the dirt with the tractor to the side, effectively winning the match, and the WSC Multiversal Championship.

Undertaker would later go face to face with Roman Reigns after being defeated by “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. This would start a war for the WSC Multiversal Championship, which ended up leading up to a Casket Match. Taker was eventually put in the coffin and Reigns won.
