UNDERTAKER BIO
For a quarter of a century, The Deadman has loomed over the WWE landscape like a menacing shadow, spelling out doom for those who dare cross him. Imbued with seemingly mystical abilities and preternatural in-ring ability, The Undertaker is a WWE great in a class by himself, and no list of legends would be complete without him.
First introduced at 1990’s Survivor Series, The Phenom debuted as the final member of Ted DiBiase’s “Million Dollar Team.” It wasn’t long before he began to battle with Hulk Hogan, then at the top of the food chain in WWE. This clash set the tone for Undertaker’s dominant career. No one was too big and no one was safe from his gloved grip.
A multiple WWE and World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time tag team titleholder and a Royal Rumble winner in 2007, Undertaker’s accomplishments in WWE have cemented his place among the greatest in the game. He is a true, in-ring pioneer, having been part of many WWE firsts, including the inaugural Hell in a Cell Match in October 1997, the first-ever Casket Match at Survivor Series 1992 and the first-ever Buried Alive match in 1996.
But there was one achievement that stood out above all others; one that will likely never be topped. Since Tombstoning “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka at WrestleMania VII in 1991, Undertaker maintained a winning streak at The Show of Shows that stood at an astounding 21-0. CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Randy Orton, Kevin Nash and many more fell at The Deadman’s hand, leaving the WWE Universe to believe that this record would never be blemished for the rest of time.
That changed at WrestleMania 30 when, after three F-5s, Brock Lesnar pinned The Undertaker and ended The Streak, leaving The Deadman at 21-1 at The Show of Shows. Those who thought that spelled the end of The Deadman's career were proven wrong one year later when The Undertakeremerged from seclusion to defeat Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31, proving there was still plenty of fight left in him. At SummerSlam, Undertaker got retribution for the ending of The Streak, defeating Lesnar with the Hell’s Gate. The win came with controversy, though, as a replay showed The Deadman tapped out to Lesnar’s Kimura Lock before locking in the Hell’s Gate.
In their final battle at WWE Hell in a Cell, The Beast and The Deadman squared off inside the demonic structure. The bout was one of their most brutal, both Superstars leaving everything inside Hell in a Cell. Ultimately, Lesnar proved he may indeed be unstoppable as he bested The Phenom perhaps for the final time.
After the match, The Undertaker was assaulted by The Wyatt Family. Outnumbered and still feeling the effects of his brutal match woth Lesnar, The Wyatts decimated The Phenom before carrying him away from the ring.
In the face of all challenges, The Phenom has risen stronger and mightier than ever, serving as sports-entertainment’s grim reaper of justice — his name permanently etched like an epitaph on the history books of WWE. It seems that no grave can hold him; no god will claim him and no devil will have him. In the end, there can only be one suitable resting place for the almighty Deadman: the WWE Hall of Fame.

SIN CARA BIO
Having already forged a strong international following, Sin Cara, known for his high-flying style and awe-inspiring acrobatics, set his sights on reaching new heights of global success with WWE. The most popular luchador in Mexico became a welcome and huge acquisition by WWE, and debuted on Monday Night Raw the night after WrestleMania XXVII, April 4, 2011.
A second-generation performer, Sin Cara (whose name literally means “without face”) began in Mexico at the tender age of 15 and has never looked back. With his roots firmly bedded in the art of lucha libre, he exudes charisma, agility and a deep love and loyalty for his Mexican heritage. In WWE, the soaring Superstar birthed a new legacy, wowing viewers around the world with spectacular displays of agility and airborne attacks.
Sin Cara and fellow luchador Kalisto made history at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way when they dethroned NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension, bringing to a close Konnor & Viktor’s nearly year-long title reign. The masked pair kept their momentum going at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution in December, overcoming the challenge of The Vaudevillains.
The Lucha Dragons’ reign came to a close in early 2015, however, when the young pairing of Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy shocked the WWE Universe by defeating Kalisto & Sin Cara for the titles! During their title rematch at NXT TakeOver: Rival on Feb. 11, The Lucha Dragons lost again to Blake & Murphy on WWE Network.
The Lucha Dragons competed in the first-ever Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships during WWE Elimination Chamber, as well as a Fatal 4-Way for the titles at SummerSlam. They also joined forces with Neville during the Night of Champions Kickoff, but came up short against Stardust & The Ascension.
No matter who his opponent may be, the gravity-defying Sin Cara is a true force to be reckoned with.

KALISTO BIO
Kalisto is a hybrid Superstar who has always felt destined for big things. Born in Chicago, but raised in Mexico City, the luchador is no stranger to sports-entertainment. Known for his innovative speed and agility, Kalisto conquered Mexico before transporting his skills to the United States.
Kalisto’s lightning-quick moves and extraordinarily accelerated pace make him a can’t miss prospect on NXT. After teaming with fellow luchador Sin Cara to snag the No. 1 Contenders’ status, the two high-flyers accomplished the unthinkable, bringing to an end The Ascension’s record-long NXT Tag Team Championship reign at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way. The masked pair kept their momentum going at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution in December, overcoming the challenge of The Vaudevillains.
The Lucha Dragons’ reign came to a close in early 2015, however, when the young pairing of Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy shocked the WWE Universe by defeating Kalisto & Sin Cara for the titles! During their title rematch at NXT TakeOver: Rival on Feb. 11, The Lucha Dragons lost again to Blake & Murphy on WWE Network.
Kalisto’s next big milestone came in February 2015 when The Lucha Dragons made their debut as a team on the WWE main roster. In Kalisto’s first WWE appearance, the Dragons overcame WWE veterans Curtis Axel & Heath Slater.
Now splitting his time between WWE and NXT, Kalisto again fought inside the yellow ropes on the March 18 edition of NXT, losing to Tyler Breeze in an exciting and closely fought matchup.
Then, one night after WrestleMania, the gravity-defying Superstar made his Raw debut in an action-packed 8-Man Tag Team Match, where he stole the show and gained the pinfall win! The Lucha Dragons followed up their success the next week, too, defeating The New Day’s Big E & Xavier Woods, despite interference by Kofi Kingston. Soon thereafter, The Lucha Dragons competed in the first-ever Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships during WWE Elimination Chamber, and they also participated in a Fatal 4-Way for the titles at SummerSlam. Kalisto & Sin Cara also joined forces with Neville during the Night of Champions Kickoff, but came up short against Stardust & The Ascension
Regardless of whether he's carrying a championship, the Superstar known as “The King of Flight” continues his plan to conquer the competition while demonstrating the time-honored art of lucha.

MARK HENRY BIO
Imagine every bone in your body being crushed into sawdust while you struggle to take a breath. Either you’re about to become python food, or you’re on the business end of Mark Henry’s World’s Strongest Slam.
Henry burst on the scene at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, where he competed in weightlifting in the super-heavyweight division. Three years later, at the Pan American Games, Henry captured a gold, silver and bronze medal. Henry’s intimidating size and weightlifting prowess earned the attention of WWE, who signed him in 1996. From there, the new Superstar joined the infamous Nation of Domination, where he established himself as a ruthless and powerful big man — traits he channeled to earn first prize in the 2002 "World's Strongest Man" competition at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. Hence, the moniker he carries today, 15 years after debuting in WWE, where Mark Henry stands at a terrifying peak.
After years in and out of WWE fans’ favor, Henry reached the zenith in 2011, becoming 50 pounds leaner and embracing the huge chip lingering on his shoulder. Capable of feats like folding a frying pan and hoisting an automobile, The World’s Strongest Man unleashed a newly embraced aggression to establish his very own “Hall of Pain” of wounded victims en route to his first-ever World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions in September 2011. Most recently, he challenged for the vacant Intercontinental Championship at WWE Elimination Chamber 2015, making his return as a substitute for the injured Rusev.
Injuries can’t stop him, and neither can Superstars such as Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Kane and Big Show — all of whom have been scraped from his boots at some point in his career.
With a wealth of experience, the steady concentration of an ER surgeon, and the temper of Bruce Banner, the scariest thing about Mark Henry isn’t the fact that he’s The World’s Strongest Man — it’s the fact that he’s just getting started.
