10 Times WWE Blew Their One Big Shot
4. The Undertaker's Reverse Streak
Bray Wyatt desperately needed a win at WrestleMania 31.
Things had gone from bad to worse to a total joke for 'The Eater Of Worlds' since his rancid debut at SummerSlam 2013, and a failure to beat John Cena on the same night The Undertaker infamously lost to Brock Lesnar should have been recalled to highlight the substantial damage that had done.
Wyatt was a man with magic powers normalised by the WWE system, but the original 'Phenom' had never been more vulnerable. After Bray built the storyline by himself on television, 'The Deadman' turned up in the Bay Area, made ludicrously light work of his supposed successor then left again. It was all very sad for anybody still on the Bray bus.
It really could have helped The Undertaker too. Two losses in a row could have created a reverse streak, built upon further with a hammering from Roman Reigns the next year. With all hope lost, that match with John Cena could have been the glorious last ride Mark Calaway clearly really wanted. A win-or-retire or win-and-retire stipulation could have suited the booking for either man, not least with two icons putting their self-respect on the line.
