#1 Edge refuses to break The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak

WWE Hall of Famer Edge retired in 2011 due to a neck injury and was inducted into the Hall of Fame a year later. Edge accomplished everything he could throughout his legendary WWE career. Recently, Michelle McCool talked about her husband, The Undertaker's iconic WrestleMania streak that was broken by Brock Lesnar at the 30th edition of The Show of Shows. She revealed that WWE wanted Edge to break the streak at WrestleMania 24, in their World title match that closed the show. Edge didn't seem thrilled at the prospect though.

Actually I remember at WrestleMania [24] versus Edge they talked about Edge breaking the streak. It was Edge that was actually like, ‘That makes zero sense. I don’t want to do that. Why would I do that? The fans already love him. What’s it gonna do for Edge?’

The match ended with The Undertaker defeating Edge and winning the World title. It would be 6 more years before The Undertaker's famed streak was broken by Lesnar.

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.
