Ranking The Undertaker’s Post-Streak WWE Matches From Worst To Best

10. Vs. Roman Reigns - WrestleMania 33

The Undertaker's 2017 clash with Roman Reigns was essentially all about 'The Phenom' handing the keys of his yard to his successor. It would have made a lot more sense had he not already done that with Lesnar three years prior by relinquishing The Streak, but WWE has a selective memory.

The match marked the fourth time that 'Taker main-evented the 'Showcase of The Immortals' but it just couldn't hold a candle to his previous outings.

It started off quite well, but the standard quickly slipped. 'Taker was out-of-shape at the time and off-balance for much of the match (due to his hip issues) and, although he came out of the box looking fairly decent, the slow-plodding affair was just far too long and drawn-out. There were moments where it seemed like it might pick up some steam (the Chokeslam onto the announce table for example) but after the Tombstone-reversal botch, the whole thing just fell apart.

In addition, it certainly didn't help that the ending sequence was a poor man's rip-off of both his WrestleMania X-Seven encounter with Triple H and his infamous Streak-stopping WrestleMania XXX clash with Brock Lesnar. Not only was 'Taker nowhere near as fit as he was in those matches, Reigns wasn't anywhere near as equipped as Trips or Lesnar to carry him through it.

Reigns going over was also unnecessary because, at this stage he had already been forced down fans' throat enough and, without The Streak, the rub just didn't mean as much.
