Edge faced The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 24, and there was backstage talk about The Rated-R Superstar to conquer the streak.

Edge outrightly shot down the pitch and added WWE should not have ended The Undertaker's streak until The Deadman's final WrestleMania appearance. Edge explained that he didn't need the streak as he was already an established star in 2008.

The 11-time WWE Champion added that Roman Reigns would have been the ideal superstar to end The Undertaker's streak.

"In the lead-up to it, I was asked 'What do you think about ending The Streak,' and I said no. Adamantly no. I don't think it ever should've ended until what we knew was his final WrestleMania, and then even no. I just didn't think it was right; I also didn't think at that point in my career I needed it. I think that that should have been saved for someone who you want to strap the rocket to, and you know, and you trust and is—to me, Roman Reigns was the guy to do it." H/t WrestleZone

Brock Lensar was handed the honor of breaking the streak at WrestleMania 30. Fans have widely criticized the finish and the entire match itself over the years, and in hindsight, Roman Reigns could have been the better choice.
