The Undertaker reveals how much longer he wanted his WrestleMania winning streak to last
The Undertaker said that he would have liked if his WrestleMania streak would have gone 25, 26-0 but continued by saying he isn't upset it ended.
Before WrestleMania 30, WWE CEO Vince McMahon went to The Undertaker and told him that Brock Lesner is going to end his WrestleMania streak. When The Undertaker asked if he is sure of his decision, McMahon said that "If it's not Brock, who can beat you?" The Undertaker agreed with Vince McMahon and said, "Alright, well, it's your call”. After that, The Undertaker started a storyline with Brock Lesnar which ended at WrestleMania 30. At the PPV, The Undertaker’s legendary WrestleMania winning streak ended (21-1) after Brock Lesnar pinned him by delivering three vicious F-5s.
