10 WWE Superstars Who Would Have Benefited Most From Ending The Streak
8. Randy Orton
Another big name who also challenged and lost to Taker at WrestleMania 21, Randy Orton has done yeoman's work with Daniel Bryan during the past eight months. Although Bryan has been on fire in the ring, he hasn't been in there with the proverbial broomstick. When he's allowed to, Orton can play the perfect heel. Unfortunately, he's been an afterthought in this Bryan-Authority storyline. What better way would there have been to get his swagger back than to beat The Streak? It would have cemented his legacy as a Legend Killer and make him The Man for years to come. Orton could have broken out on his own, away from the Authority, and bragged about how he finally did what even HHH in three tries couldn't beaten the Undertaker at WrestleMania.
