#3 The Undertaker agrees with Vince McMahon's decision to break the streak

As WrestleMania 30 drew closer, the original plans for The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar were for The Deadman to score a win over The Beast and advance his streak to 22-0. On the night of WrestleMania, Vince McMahon suddenly changed his mind and decided to finally put an end to The Undertaker's legendary streak. Vince's reason for the last-minute decision was that he didn't feel The Undertaker would be fit enough for another WrestleMania match, and wanted him to put over Lesnar on his way out.

Reportedly, The Undertaker agreed with Vince McMahon's decision that was taken abruptly. He didn't have a problem doing the job after preserving the streak for around two decades. Lesnar seemed upset in a backstage area after defeating The Phenom. Vince's prediction proved to be false, as Undertaker went on to compete in several WrestleMania matches in the future.

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.
