At WrestleMania 30, Brock Lesnar shocked the entire WWE Universe when he defeated The Undertaker, ending Taker’s streak. The Phenom secured victory at 21 consecutive WrestleManias before he participated against Lesnar, and the loss at WM 30 finally ended it.

However, fans can always wonder what would have happened if there was someone else in the ring with Taker and not Lesnar? Would the outcome have been the same?

Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley has the answer! He believes that no one else but Lesnar was supposed to break that streak. It was one thing he had to accomplish in his WWE career!

“It was Brock’s deal. You know, The Undertaker’s a special deal man. Nobody wanted to see Undertaker ever lose. So, in a case like that, it was something that, like Brock couldn’t accomplish anything else. So, that was the one thing he really did really need to accomplish.” H/t MackMania Podcast

The Undertaker could have avoided losing his streak

Reportedly, the decision to end Taker’s streak was taken because McMahon believed The Deadman would retire. However, he did not retire following WrestleMania 30, but the streak was gone.

The WWE Universe has been divided upon this, but there is a higher chance of Lesnar walking away with the championship.

If the company is planning a huge match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 in a Champion vs Champion match, of course, Lesnar walks away as champion.
