The Undertaker's first WrestleMania victory took place in 1991 but it was in 2002 when the streak started receiving widespread recognition. Before that, the commentary team would often mention about The Phenom's impressive performance at 'The Showcase of the Immortals' and that he was yet to face a defeat at WrestleMania, but those promotions lasted temporarily.

It was following his No Disqualification match with Ric Flair at WrestleMania X8 when fans started to acknowledge this streak of The Deadman. After picking up a hard-fought win over The Nature Boy, The Undertaker would gesture his 10 WrestleMania wins with his fingers and from that moment onwards, the undefeated streak turned into an integral part of The Phenom's WWE career.

Three years later, when Randy Orton vowed to go to any extent to end that streak, its popularity skyrocketed and within a short time, WrestleMania matches featuring The Undertaker started to revolve around his undefeated streak at the event.

To date, only two Superstars have been able to defeat The Phenom at the 'Showcase of the Immortals'. Will The Phenomenal One be the third wrestler to do so?

We are going to find that out very soon!
