The Undertaker was announced as the first inductee of the 2022 Hall of Fame. He will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by none other than Vince McMahon.
Needless to say, Deadman has been one of the central figures in the company for over three decades. The legacy created by The Phenom is unmatched in comparison to any superstar in WWE history.
The Undertaker's career has been captivating since his debut with the promotion. One of the major reasons that the Phenom is such a huge luminary star is due to his WrestleMania streak.
The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak was one of the biggest draws in the Showcase of the Immortals for years.

The entire WWE Universe stood on their toes during The Deadman's WrestleMania bout to see whether his opponent would end the streak or not. But every year, the Phenom anhiliated his challengers.
After winning twenty-one matches on the trot, Brock Lesnar put an end to the streak at WrestleMania XXX.
Phenom's streak had an extensive record of epic matches. Throughout the stretch, the seven-time WWE Champion engaged in excellent bouts against Edge, Triple H and Shawn Michaels.
While some of the matches he delivered were classics, several of them - especially during the start of his career - were monotonous as the chemistry between the superstars wasn't a match.
Here's a list of five Undertaker WrestleMania opponents you might have forgotten.

Jimmy Snuka was the inaugural prey of the Phenom's legendary streak. The Undertaker defeated Superfly in his first match at WrestleMania VII. This was the beginning of an unending streak for Deadman.

It was a great pleasure to be the first guy to wrestle The Undertaker at WrestleMania and after the match he couldn't stop thanking me and thinking the streak now stands at 20-0 and he is still going!

Sycho Sid was one of the most dominant heels in 1997. He defeated Bret Hart for the WWF Championship on an episode of Monday Night RAW prior to WrestleMania.
