The Undertaker Didn’t Think Brock Lesnar Should Have Ended the Streak

The Undertaker may have gone down in history with one of WrestleMania’s most shocking moments, but even he wasn’t convinced Brock Lesnar was the right man to break the streak.

At WrestleMania 30, the world stopped when Brock Lesnar pinned The Deadman, ending his legendary 21-0 undefeated streak on WWE’s biggest stage. Fans were in disbelief, but as it turns out, so was The Undertaker himself.

Speaking with Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker revealed that up until the day of the show, the plan was still for him to win. Then, Vince McMahon pulled him aside and dropped the bombshell—he was losing.

“I didn’t feel like Brock needed it, right?” he said. “Brock was… he was an attraction all to himself by that time. People, you know, all the internet geniuses, they’re saying, ‘Well, he had lost this and he didn’t do this and he didn’t do that, he needed a win.’ But Brock didn’t need it.”

Instead, he argued that giving the win to Bray Wyatt or Roman Reigns would have meant more in the long run. “Would it have helped Bray? Obviously, it would have helped Bray. Would it have skyrocketed Roman? Probably, if they’d gotten that juice.”

The moment he saw McMahon walk into his locker room, he knew something was up. “It’s early afternoon in the Superdome, and I’m in a room completely by myself. And then the old man walks in. And that just doesn’t happen. As soon as I saw him, I knew right away, like, ‘Okay, I know what’s coming.’”

The decision to end the streak wasn’t set in stone during the build-up, with WWE going back and forth on whether The Deadman should continue his undefeated legacy. But in the end, McMahon made the call.

“I questioned him. I gave my points, just wanted to make sure that he was sure,” Undertaker said. But McMahon stuck to his guns, giving him a simple response: “Mark, if not him, who?”

Love it or hate it, The Undertaker’s streak ending at WrestleMania 30 is still one of the most debated moments in WWE history. Maybe Vince McMahon was right—if not Brock, then who? But with The Deadman himself questioning the decision, it’s clear this one will never stop sparking debate.

Should WWE have given the honor to someone else, or did they make the right call? Sound off in the comments!
