"Vince McMahon was going on the assumption that this was Undertaker's last hurrah, and he could either win, or lose. McMahon chose the idea that it was better to lose on your way out... One person close to the situation said McMahon talked Undertaker into doing it." said Dave.

Vince McMahon's assumption that The Undertaker was going to hang his boots after the match led to the streak's demise. When Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX, the fans in attendance let out a collective gasp. For the next several seconds, the arena stayed silent as Lesnar made his way back.
Fans were outraged over the streak being broken, but the steak remained broken. Interestingly, The Undertaker continued to wrestle for the next six years, angering fans even more over Vince McMahon's decision.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
