5 Times The Undertaker's streak was booked to end and changed

Was the streak supposed to end before WM 30?

#2 WrestleMania 12 – Money over streak

The build-up to WrestleMania XII saw Diesel see himself in a casket. It was very well done.

Kevin Nash, as Diesel, was booked to beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania 12, until Eric Bishoff came in with a huge offer to take Nash to WCW. Mick Foley, as Mankind, was set to debut and interfere, costing The Undertaker the match.

Diesel would then go on to face Shawn Michaels for the belt at the next PPV, while The Undertaker would feud Mankind. Despite his loss, Diesel would illogically still receive his title shot the next month and lose to Shawn Michaels, while Mankind would debut the next night on Raw and attack The Undertaker on that show instead.

Close-o-meter rating 8/10.

Definitely a close call. The booking after WrestleMania 12 certainly indicated Diesel was winning. Triple H and Kevin Nash have both said Nash was torn about leaving the WWE for WCW, therefore, the fact that the decision to leave WWE for WCW lay in the hands of Kevin Nash, meant that the future of the streak lay in Nash’s hands too.

If Nash has opted to stay in the WWE, he would have beaten The Undertaker.
