6 times The Undertaker and Kane acted like brothers in real life

#1 Kane refused to break The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak

Kane chose Undertaker over a career-changing moment

At WrestleMania 30, the entire WWE Universe stood on disbelief when The Undertaker's legendary unbeaten streak was broken by Brock Lesnar. But Lesnar was not the first one who was considered to break The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak.

Kane was one of the several names which were chosen to break Undertaker's streak at some point, but he refused to do it. Years later, when Kane witnessed the streak being broken, he stormed out of room in anger.

“My reaction, when I was watching, I thought the finish got messed up. I was like, ‘they’re going to restart the match or something because something got screwed up.’ They didn’t. I walked out of the room. I was literally so mad about it. I know that the streak wasn't something that anybody had ever planned and it was just something that had kind of organically evolved, but it had become a part of WrestleMania lore at that point."

Kane wanted to repay The Undertaker for everything that the latter had done for him. They were at the end of a brilliant storyline and ending one of the most iconic streaks would have elevated his career to a whole new level.

Yet, Kane refused to do the same and insisted that his kayfabe brother should continue with the unbeatable streak at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
