A very popular WWE Hall of Famer recently disclosed that he doesn't believe The Undertaker's iconic winning streak at WrestleMania should have ever ended.
WrestleMania 30 was a memorable event for the company for a variety of reasons. Former WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan, now known as Blackpool Combat Club's Bryan Danielson in AEW, had the best night of his career and captured the WWE Championship. However, there was another unforgettable moment that took place at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.
The Undertaker's incredible winning streak on the Grandest Stage of Them All came to an end at the hands of Brock Lesnar. The Beast defeated The Deadman clean in the ring and became the first superstar to beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. The Phenom would later lose to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando as well.
Speaking on a recent edition of Busted Open, WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin admitted that he wasn't a fan of the streak coming to an end at WrestleMania 30.

“I didn’t like it, I mean, I just thought the streak was something hallowed or holy," said Stone Cold.
However, The Rattlesnake noted that if anyone was going to end the streak, it made sense that it was Brock Lesnar.

The Undertaker names WWE Superstar he would have wanted to end his WrestleMania streak
The Undertaker recently disclosed which superstar he would have preferred to end his streak at WrestleMania other than Brock Lesnar.
While Brock Lesnar is certainly a superstar worthy of ending the streak, The Deadman doesn't believe that The Beast needed the victory at the time. Speaking with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Taker claimed that Roman Reigns would have been more impactful if he was the superstar that ended the streak.
"I don't think Brock needed it. Brock was a major attraction and he was a star. I don't know that it enhanced him anymore. I think it would have been great for Roman (Reigns) if Brock hadn't already done it, it would have been a huge thing for Roman," he said.
Roman Reigns received an incredibly negative reaction from the crowd on the RAW after WrestleMania 33. However, Roman didn't reach his full potential as a character until he aligned with Paul Heyman and The Bloodline years later. It would have been interesting to see if the reaction toward Reigns would have been different if he was the one who put an end to the streak.
