WWE: NXT's Arrival Will Lead To 7 Major Departures

1. The Undertaker

21-1. It was hard to imagine The Streak ever ending, let alone end to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. The reaction from the crowd when the referee's hand hit the mat for the third time was priceless. The collective gasp that was heard when the 21-1 record was flashed on the big screen, was shocking and heart breaking. The news that broke after WrestleMania, was that the Undertaker collapsed as soon as he walked back behind the curtains. Vince McMahon accompanied Taker on the ambulance that took him to the hospital where he stayed over night. He suffered a severe concussion early in the match, and rumored to almost suffer a fractured neck. Video from a fan was released on Monday that showed The Undertaker having a hard time walking and boarding the WWE bus. While the finish was planned for The Undertaker to lose to Brock Lesnar, many are speculating that it was his final match. He's 49 years old, and has had a tough time getting his body ready to wrestle in his last two WrestleMania matches. The Undertaker has been wrestling for 30 years, but it's hard to imagine having a WrestleMania without him competing in it. He's been around through the Hogan Era, The Attitude Era, The PG Era and into The Reality Era, and there will never be another superstar like him. With The Undertaker seemingly retiring, it truly marks the end of an era for the WWE. Along with the other big names that may be leaving the WWE, it seems that the future is now. While no one can replace The Undertaker, new top stars like Daniel Bryan, The Shield, The Wyatt Family and Cesaro are ready to take the WWE to the next level. These superstars all came up through NXT, and it won't be long before we see the new NXT stars come up and contribute as well. NXT means business!
