The Undertaker Suggests An Alternative Wrestler Who Would Have Benefited More By Ending The Streak

The Undertaker Suggests An Alternative Wrestler Who Would Have Benefited More By Ending The Streak

The Streak was extraordinary, and fans brought it into it, and it gave the fading Undertaker a reason to return every WrestleMania for a highly anticipated match filled with drama. Whoever finally defeated him would be launched to an even higher level than before. Edge had been seriously considered as the man to end The Streak at WrestleMania 24, but he was against it. The Streak, though, did end at the hands of Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30, and now in an interview with CBSsports.com, The Undertaker discusses this and even proposes whom he felt could have been the man to finish it.

I didn’t feel like Brock needed it. Brock was already a huge star, and it wasn’t going to help him one way or another. My only concern was there might have been someone down the line that could have benefited from it more, and that probably would’ve been Roman later on.

That’s with hindsight being 20/20. But if I was going to get beat by someone, Brock was a guy who had the credentials, I think, to do it and people would be like, ‘Um, OK, s–t, that’s Brock Lesnar.’ That was my biggest deal. I just wanted to make sure that’s really what [McMahon] had wanted to do.

Could I have made a power play? Yeah, but seriously, what good was that going to do? What kind of precedent does that send? It just wouldn’t have been right.

Roman Reigns would go on to get a victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33, in what was almost The Undertaker’s final match, but due to it failing to live up to expectations, The Undertaker was motivated to return to the ring. This story is documented on Undertaker: The Last Ride, which is currently airing on the WWE Network.
