WWE: 10 Men Who Should Have Been Given The Undertaker Streak Win

6. CM Punk

Yes, Punk walked out of WWE in January, but perhaps if he had broken the streak at WrestleMania XXIX, things would be different today. Punk was frustrated with his role in WWE and, while he had been vocal about his dream of main-eventing WrestleMania, it's hard to argue with being chosen to do something that has never been done before (and likely can never been equaled). Such a show of faith in Punk by WWE could have convinced "The Best in the World" that they were well and truly behind him. Plus, just imagine the promos Punk would have cut after his victory. He was already besting himself week in and week out during his feud with the Deadman (as was Paul Heyman) - a victorious CM Punk would have come out on Raw the next night with the mother of all s**t-eating grins and plenty of time for rubbing his victory in fans' stunned faces. Instead, we'll have to be content with Heyman cutting celebratory promos by himself.
