Should This WWE Star Have Ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania Streak?

One WWE legend thinks this guy would've been a better choice than Brock Lesnar.

Kevin Nash wasn't thrilled when WWE decided to end The Undertaker's incredible WrestleMania winning streak back in 2014, but he's even less chuffed by who got the nod back at 'Mania XXX.

Speaking via his 'Kliq This' podcast, Nash said he's "absolutely 100% sure" WWE shouldn't have ended the streak at all. However, if they felt like it was a must, then he'd have much rather seen Bray Wyatt benefit than anybody else.

Brock Lesnar was the man chosen to go over 'Taker and beat the streak. At the time, several critics wondered if that spot should've gone to a rising star rather than somebody established, and there have been contrasting reports ever since about exactly who handpicked Lesnar - was it The Undertaker himself or Vince McMahon?

Bray did eventually wrestle 'Taker on the follow up 'Mania 31 show, meaning WWE would've only had to wait one more year to have him go over. Hindsight is 20/20 on that, being fair. Big Kev is certain Wyatt would've been a better choice than literally any other worker though.
