WrestleMania 30 was a landmark event in WWE history. It is most remembered for what happened at the end of the match between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. The Undertaker’s 21-0 undefeated streak at WrestleMania was shattered by Lesnar. The moment stunned fans and forever changed the landscape of professional wrestling.
The event took place on April 6, 2014, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. It was the first pay-per-view to air on the WWE Network. The night featured two huge moments. Daniel Bryan overcame the odds to win the world title. But before that, Brock Lesnar ended the streak.
The question of whether Lesnar was the right man to end the streak is still debated. Many wondered if a younger talent would have benefited more. But at the end of the day, Lesnar became the one to conquer The Undertaker. He became the final boss of WWE.
On The Broken Skull Sessions, The Undertaker revealed that he got concussed within the first five minutes of the match. He said he does not remember the night. His last clear memory was from the afternoon when his wife came backstage. He remembered nothing else from that day.
According to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, Vince McMahon decided to end the streak on the day of WrestleMania 30. McMahon assumed this would be Undertaker’s last match. He thought it was better to lose on your way out. One source said McMahon talked Undertaker into it. Another said Undertaker agreed to the decision.
In an interview with Steve Austin, McMahon said Undertaker wanted to give back to the business. He said Lesnar made the most sense on the roster to break the streak. He said it was the right time and the right person.
Paul Heyman later implied that Lesnar went into business for himself and stole the win. But there is no evidence to support this claim. It has been rumored that Lesnar was not a fan of breaking the streak. He wanted to lose to Undertaker. He was reportedly unhappy that Undertaker had to go to the hospital due to the concussion.
