1. Brock Lesnar Destroys The Streak WrestleMania XXX
In the biggest shock in WrestleMania history, Brock Lesnar famously shook the wrestling world when he broke The Undertakers legendary undefeated streak at WrestleMania XXX. Now the streak itself wasnt really even acknowledged until Takers WrestleMania X-Seven match with Triple H, but it quickly became one of the biggest draws for the big show over the following decade plus. This was something that many believed was never going to end. After the likes of Randy Orton, Batista, and Edge didnt get the rub of ending The Deadmans legendary streak, many presumed that it would never, ever end, and so Takers Mania matches became a sure thing regardless of who he was up against. Having defeated Shawn Michaels twice, racked up another two wins over Triple H, and then beat the hottest star in the industry when he bested CM Punk, even though his next opponent was Brock Lesnar, it was predicted that The Beast was merely the next person to be added to the list of those who failed to better the Deadman at WrestleMania. After all, this was The Undertaker, this was WrestleMania this was just another one of those matches that are always great to watch but that always, always, always end in The Phenom emerging victorious. And besides, WWE wouldn't dare to have the iconic streak end at the hands of a part-time guy in his late 30s, would they? They sure would. In a result that ruined everyones WrestleMania betting slips, not to mention silenced every single person in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the millions watching at home, Brock did the unthinkable, the unimaginable, the impossible: he brought an end to Takers 21-match unbeaten Mania run and shocked the world.
