On the other side, as Brock Lesnar was one of the top competitors in WWE, Vince McMahon ended the streak with the hands of Brock Lesnar.

Vince McMahon suggested Lesnar’s name to The Undertaker, to which he agreed. In an interview with Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, The Undertaker mentioned Vince McMahon’s view towards ending his streak.

He said, “Internally and the way this business works, I knew someday it would end. In our industry, you don’t walk away like Floyd [Mayweather], undefeated, or Rocky Marciano. It just doesn’t happen that way in wrestling.”

“It was always in the back of my mind that it would end. Although, most of my peers and people that I work with thought it was a horrible decision, and I just asked Vince, ‘are you sure? Is this what you want?’ He was like, ‘if it’s not Brock, who can beat you?’ Alright, well, it’s your call.” [H/T Wrestling Inc]

“The Deadman” spent nearly 30 years in WWE and delivered epic matches to the WWE Universe. In 2020, The Undertaker retired at the Survivor Series PPV.
