The Undertaker has had one of the greatest WWE careers in the history of the company. A huge part of his legacy was his once undefeated WrestleMania streak. Long before losing his streak to Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania XXX, there were plans for Randy Orton to be the one to end his streak.
But the Legend Killer refused to do so as he believed that he was not ready for it. Orton even argued that the Streak should never be broken. During an interview with Yahoo Sports, Randy Orton said:

"You asked about me versus Taker, that was WrestleMania 21 in Los Angeles, I was 25, my birthday always falls around the show, so I’m a kid, I’m a greenhorn, I grew up in the business but now I’m in a match in the biggest show you can be at, participate in as a professional wrestler, as a WWE Superstar, and I’m facing in a singles match the most legendary character that’s ever graced our presence – with maybe a few exceptions. I was nervous, but I also knew I was in good hands. We went out there, we killed it, I reversed the chokeslam into the RKO, everybody bought it, he beat my ass and that was it. He picked up another win at ‘Mania and rightfully so because I think the WrestleMania brand and Undertaker go hand in hand. I think a lot of that had to do with the streak so I’ll never think that was the right thing to do, for him to pick up that loss"

Randy Orton and The Undertaker went on to have an amazing rivalry. But it was The Phenom who picked up the victory and continued his streak at WWE WrestleMania 21.
