Would a Walter White gimmick work in the WWE?

Vince forces Taker to retire so in order to provide for his family he starts cooking meth?

Given WWE's history with drug-related controversies, no.

Only if they bring back Viscera as Huell.

I, for one, would love to see what a PG meth dealer looks like.

While they're PG, no chance? And I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
And even if they weren't I don't know how that sort of gimmick would even translate to the WWE product.

Maybe not a drug lord or anything, but I would love to see the WWE carefully craft a character that evolves over the years much like the Walter White character on Breaking Bad.

It'd take too much planning and continuty, after 2 weeks of someone's gradual decline, they'd get bored.
Although, you could kinda see Austin's heel turn like that, he looks like him, he used increasingly violent methods to win against The Rock, and started to work under the evil owner of a company.

I guess we'll find out in 2022 when Vince first discovers the show!

I'm the guy who beat up Cena. Triple H: No way, the SHIELD got Cena. Did they? Say my name. Triple H: I don't know who you are. Say my name. Triple H: Heidenreich.
Heidenreich: You're damn right.

That'd require a lot of foresight, planning, dedication, and a devotion to subtly and nuanced writing. Which somehow makes that even less likely than them having an overt Meth dealer.

Given the quality of writing on the show lately the best you can hope for is a Charles In Charge gimmick

I could see using a similar character evolution leading to the Undertaker's retirement. This would obviously be wishful thinking, having Undertaker involved in a long-term story and multiple matches. Begin a personal feud with a wrestler calling Undertaker out on being broken down, with a match ending in the undertaker being beaten through an outsider attacking. Possibly have him attempt to take them on himself to prove he's still the Phenom, to be taken down and badly beaten. This leads to undertaker bringing in a partner(whether he chooses someone or someone trying to avenge his idol, but the former works better for the BB connection.) The feud continues for an extended time, with the undertaker's brutality showing through and increasing as time goes by. His partner is along for the ride at first, being with his idol, but slowly evolves in a Jesse Pinkman-like manner, questioning the Undertaker's violence and methods. In the end, you could evolve the story to have the undertaker push the partner away a bit, ending in him finally being beaten(not necessarily at mania) while achieving retribution at the same time.
Off the top of my head and totally fantastical, but meh.

If Scott Hall could do it by pitching to Vince using Tony Montana mannerisms, I can see someone else doing it using things like Walter Whites facial expressions and famous lines as catchphrases. "Say my name" and "Tread Lightly" especially can work for a character in wrestling.
