Brock Lesnar’s shocking victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 remains one of WWE’s most jaw-dropping moments. However, The Undertaker himself believes that Lesnar didn’t necessarily need to be the one to break his legendary undefeated streak.

In 2014, The Phenom's 21-0 record at WrestleMania came to an end when Lesnar handed him his first-ever loss at WWE's biggest event.

in a recent appearance on the "Busted Open Radio" podcast, The Undertaker opened up about his feelings surrounding that defeat, expressing regret over the decision. He stated:

"I didn’t feel like Brock needed it. Brock was already an attraction on his own by that time. People on the internet were quick to say, 'Oh, he needed that win,' but in reality, Brock had already established himself as a top-tier star."

The Undertaker further explained that while the win may have benefited other WWE stars like Bray Wyatt or Roman Reigns, he didn’t think it was necessary for Lesnar to claim victory that night.

Since that controversial match in 2014, fans have consistently debated whether Lesnar should have ended The Undertaker’s streak, with many believing it was a missed opportunity for other wrestlers.

The Undertaker would only suffer one more loss at WrestleMania, when Roman Reigns defeated him in 2017, before officially retiring in 2020.

Meanwhile, Lesnar’s WWE future remains uncertain, as his absence from the company since SummerSlam 2023, along with his ties to the Janel Grant lawsuit, has left fans questioning whether he’ll return to the ring anytime soon.
