Two memorable backstage WrestleMania moments

#2 Brock Lesnar is visibly upset after the streak is broken

Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 will forever go down in history as possibly the most shocking moment in all of WWE. Lesnar ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak after hitting a third F5 and pinning The Deadman. Reports suggested that the decision to end the streak was made on the same night by Vince McMahon, who was sure at the time that this would be The Phenom's final WrestleMania outing.

Reports also stated that Lesnar wasn't thrilled with being the one to end the streak. In a clip that made the rounds soon after WrestleMania ended, Lesnar can be seen backstage after defeating The Undertaker. As The Undertaker struggles to rise and stand on his feet, there's a sense of disappointment on Lesnar's face. The victory kicked off one of the most dominant runs in WWE history, with Lesnar putting down Superstars one after the other. This also included a SummerSlam 2014 squash against one of the all-time greats, John Cena.

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.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
