10 Swerves You Never Saw Coming At WrestleMania

1. Brock Lesnar Ends The Streak

Brock Lesnar Undertaker PaEvent: Wrestlemania XXX Location: New Orleans, Louisiana Venue: Mercedes-Benz Astrodome Date: 2014 The feel of this was so off. We all knew that the Undertaker was nearing the end of his career, but we all assumed he would retire with the Streak in tact. The buildup gave us no indication that the Streak was even in trouble. At the very least, we assumed that if the Streak was to be broken, the honor would be given to some young superstar who could get over. But instead, Brock Lesnar was given the task, and he accomplished it perhaps a little too well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K-iWaRoVeo The Undertaker was rushed to the hospital after the match with a severe concussion, and the reaction of the Superdome fans was priceless. Children were speechless. Grown men were crying. It was the end of an era, and over two decades of unchallenged destruction.
