8 Reasons Brock Lesnar Must Retire The Undertaker At WWE Hell In A Cell

6. The Streak No Longer Means Anything

The Undertaker having a presence at SummerSlam and Hell in a Cell has been surprising to say the least, especially as the past few years have seen him only appear during WrestleMania season (and only his voice was used in the run up to this year's event). Has it been the right decision to use him in those PPVs? Having the Phenom only show up for WrestleMania made that event feel a little more special, but ahead of his match against Lesnar at a B-Level event later this month, it's worth wondering why he has received greater exposure in 2015. The most obvious answer is that The Streak is now meaningless. With it broken, there's no real excitement surrounding it, something which was evident during this year's WrestleMania. Bray Wyatt gained nothing from facing The Undertaker, and the Deadman making the score 22-1 had little to no impact on his already impressive legacy. Even if he were to face off with a name as a big as Sting or John Cena next year in Dallas, a win or loss at this stage would make no difference whatsoever. The Streak is over, and while there's every chance The Undertaker could still have a great or memorable match at the event - the one with Bray was instantly forgettable, but both of the opponents mentioned above would be a dream come true for some fans - the one thing that nearly all of his WrestleMania matches have been built around is gone, so what exactly would be the point? With a rematch with Lesnar off the cards if recent dirt sheet rumours are to be believed, the best use of The Undertaker in Dallas come April 2016 will be a Hall of Fame induction.
