“It Was Always in the Back of My Mind”- The Undertaker Shares an Intriguing Story About Wrestlemania 30

The Undertaker recently gave an interview to ESPN’S Ariel Helwani to talk about the ‘Last Ride’. The ‘Last Ride’ is the new documentary series on the past three years of the Deadman’s career. In the interview, the Undertaker revealed his reaction when Vince informed him about the streak ending. He said.

“It was always in the back of my mind that it would end, although most of my peers and people I work with thought that was a horrible decision. And, I just asked Vince, “Are you sure?” I said, “Is this what you want?” He was like, “If it’s not Brock, who can beat you?” Right? I mean, the way the streak was built, by that time, obviously. So, I was like, “Alright, well, it’s your call.”

The ending of the streak shocked everyone. Though the Deadman was getting older having Brock do it seems to be the right call. The Brock and history had some history as after Brock lost his UFC Heavyweight Championship, the Undertaker confronted him to get him back. Due to Lesnar’s win, he has bee used by  Vince to get babyfaces over. Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre both had their WrestleMania moment after defeating Brock. The fans got behind them and this shows the smart booking making which Vince is capable of.

The Undertaker came back to the wrestling world in 2015 to cost Brock a title win at Battlegrounds. The two would square off at Summerslam where Undertaker would pick up the win and Lesnar would return the favor at Hell in a Cell.

As for as the WrestleMania matches are concerned, Undertaker has shown his dominance. He squashed Bray Wyatt and had an epic Hell in a Cell Match against Shane McMahon which he won. The Taker, however, lost at WrestleMania 33 to the ‘Big Dog’ Roman Reigns to put him over. After this, the Phenom destroyed John Cena in a short but entertaining match. In his recent outing Taker won the first ‘Graveyard Match’ against the ‘Phenomenal’ AJ Styles. The match was cinematic and saw AJ being buried by the Deadman.
