WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker had an impressive streak of 21 consecutive wins at the greatest WWE show of the year, WrestleMania. However, in 2014, Brock Lesnar defeated him, ending his phenomenal WrestleMania winning streak.
This event caused a huge stir in the world of professional wrestling and still remains a hot topic, even after almost a decade. Many WWE fans still debate whether The Beast deserves to be the one to end The Deadman’s legendary streak and argue that many other superstars could have pulled it off better.
Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker’s streak
The night when The Undertaker’s 21-0 streak in wrestling came to an end is considered one of the biggest moments in WrestleMania history. The WrestleMania streak was held in higher regard than any world championship or title; it was the most protected accolade in the history of wrestling.
The Undertaker had already achieved a remarkable feat by defeating some of the biggest names in the industry in 21 different WrestleMania events. The likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Batista, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, CM Punk, and many others have tried but failed to defeat him.
It was widely believed that whoever defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania would become an instant star unless The Deadman would finish his career without losing. This was the question that was pondered every year until April 6, 2014, when Brock Lesnar faced him at WrestleMania 30 with the streak on the line.
Many people did not think that Lesnar would be the one to end Taker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. The Beast was already a well-known superstar, and some WWE fans believed that a new up-and-coming wrestler should be the one to break the streak. However, in the end, Lesnar defeated The Deadman, breaking his legendary streak, and surprising wrestling fans.

I don’t have any decision in that, but a lot of the boys that were part of making that streak something made it mean what it meant. They were like, ‘Damn man, why are you taking away?
