A moment that stunned the wrestling world
In one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history, Brock Lesnar broke The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30. 70,000 fans gasped in unison, as Lesnar and Heyman left the ring, leaving an exhausted Taker to face the sea of fans.

Reportedly, The Undertaker was slated to defeat Lesnar and advance the streak to 22-0. Vince McMahon changed the decision hours before the match, citing reasons of this possibly being Undertaker's final match in WWE. Some sources say that Mark Calaway was hesitant on going with the changed plans, while other sources state that he agreed without any arguments.
The moment came to fruition exactly as Vince had planned. But The Undertaker was far from being retired. He came back to wrestle on four consecutive Mania cards after that, with a squash win over John Cena at WrestleMania 34, and another defeat at the hands of Roman Reigns the year prior.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
