WWE: 15 Reasons The Undertaker Streak Ended At WrestleMania 30

13. Mania 29 Fitness Issue Necessitated An End

The Undertaker really, really struggled to get passed fit for competition at WrestleMania 29. A mixture of age and injuries so chronic they can't be helped by surgery meant he just wasn't up to standard for in-ring activity. Luckily he passed a physical at the very last minute, ending up being booked in a rushed storyline with CM Punk. He had made the match for the 2013 streak challenge, but the struggle of being passed fit so late in February told WWE and Taker everything they needed to know - time was just about up. In retrospect, the Mania 29 struggle was perhaps the crystallisation in Undertaker's mind that he couldn't continue. Booking the Mania streak storyline for the future as a guessing games on his fitness wasn't an option. He decided he had to get out while he still could as a fit and active person.
