Roman Reigns is the next breakout star in WWE, AND he's 2-0 at WrestleMania. If you were going to end The Streak, why wouldn't you pass the torch to a young, upcoming star who also is undefeated at WrestleMania? The Streak has been a major storyline at WrestleMania during the past decade, so if you're going to end it, you best replace it with another equally compelling storyline. Passing it on to a young superstar to carry forward would have been a fitting end to Taker's career if this indeed was his last match. Reigns would have been a logical choice that make so much sense that even the most cryptic fans would have understood.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
