WWE letting Brock Lesnar break The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania 30 is one of the most controversial decisions in WWE history, with many fans still not happy with it. However, long before Lesnar's victory, WWE had wanted Edge to be the one to break the streak at WrestleMania 24.

In a recent interview with The New York Post, The Undertaker's wife and WWE Superstar Michelle McCool revealed that the 'Rated-R Superstar' refused to do that.

“I remember a few years prior at WrestleMania [24] versus Edge, they talked about Edge breaking the streak and it was Edge that was actually like ‘That makes zero sense. I don’t want to do that. Why would I do that? ' The fans already love him. What’s it going to do for Edge?"

After seeing his streak build for so many years, it was obviously tough to watch Brock Lesnar end it. The Undertaker himself, though, has admitted that he felt the day would always come for him to lose, suggesting that his eventual defeat would help WWE do bigger business in the future.

There's no denying the impact that his win over The Undertaker had on Brock Lesnar's career. It solidified him as one of the company's very biggest attractions and the victory is still something that Paul Heyman brings up on the microphone to the day - some six years later!

Given that Edge was forced to take nearly a decade away from the ring due to neck injuries in 2011, it is doubtful that he would have gained as much from breaking the streak as Brock Lesnar did. It is likely for the best that Edge argued against what was initially planned.
