WrestleMania has long been synonymous with The Undertaker, who not only delivered unforgettable matches but also provided opportunities for rising talents on the grand stage. Despite retiring from the WWE, his legacy continues to cast a formidable shadow over the event.
Over the years, iconic superstars such as Edge, John Cena, and Brock Lesnar have had the privilege of facing the former World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania, solidifying their own legacies in the process.
Among those who nearly shared the ring with ‘The Deadman’ was Kevin Owens, whose anticipated match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 never came to fruition.
According to Owens, plans for a showdown with The Undertaker were extensively discussed leading up to WrestleMania 32.
However, the return of Shane McMahon to the WWE prompted a shift in focus, resulting in a storyline between Undertaker and Shane taking precedence, leaving Owens without a match at the prestigious event.
In hindsight, the decision to pivot towards the Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon match proved to be a memorable one, with the bout delivering stunning moments for fans worldwide.
Undertaker’s victory extended his WrestleMania record to 23-1, paving the way for three more iconic matches at subsequent WrestleManias.
Reflecting on his unparalleled WrestleMania streak, The Undertaker recently shed light on the circumstances surrounding its end.
For years, his undefeated streak stood as a testament to his unparalleled skill and resilience, making its conclusion all the more impactful when Brock Lesnar emerged victorious at WrestleMania 30.
In a candid revelation, Undertaker disclosed the behind-the-scenes deliberations that led to the decision to end his streak, citing a last-minute change in plans orchestrated by Vince McMahon.
Despite subsequent losses to Roman Reigns and concluding with a WrestleMania record of 25-2, The Undertaker’s legacy remains etched in WWE history as nothing short of legendary, revered by fans worldwide for his unmatched influence and unforgettable contributions to WrestleMania lore.
