The Undertaker Opens Up About Brock Lesnar Breaking The Streak at WrestleMania
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. Also Read The Undertaker Retires from WWE
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. The Undertaker's Regret: Why He Believes Brock Lesnar Didn't Need to Break The Streak
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.

John Cena Becomes WWE's Most Decorated Champion Ever!
WrestleMania ended with a seismic shift in WWE history as John Cena captured his 17th world championship, officially becoming the most decorated champion in WWE history. Cena defeated Cody Rhodes in a dramatic main event, with the outcome swinging after a surprise interference by rapper Travis Scott. The victory moves Cena past Ric Flair's long-standing record of 16 recognized world titles. Cena's Farewell WrestleMania — Or Is It? While Cena has announced plans to retire at the end of 2025, this win at WrestleMania could be his final appearance on the grandest stage — though wrestling fans know better than to ever say "never." The moment wasn't just historic; it was emotional, closing a chapter in Cena's legendary career with a statement that will echo through WWE history. Major Title Changes Mark a Wild Weekend While Cena's record-breaking win stole headlines, WrestleMania weekend delivered multiple major title changes: Jey Uso defeated Gunther to win the World Heavyweight Championship, capturing his first world title and surpassing the legacy of his father, Rikishi. Dominik Mysterio won his first WWE title, taking home the Intercontinental Championship in a symbolic passing of the torch from his father, Rey Mysterio. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) took down the War Raiders to reclaim tag team gold. Jacob Fatu captured the United States Championship with a win over LA Knight in a breakout performance. A New Era Begins — Streaming on Netflix This WrestleMania was also the first to stream live on Netflix, reaching a potential global audience of over 300 million subscribers. The move is part of a blockbuster $5 billion, 10-year deal that will see WWE's weekly and monthly programming land on the platform. Despite some technical concerns ahead of the event, the Netflix stream ran smoothly — a strong first impression for this historic partnership. WWE Expands: Acquisition of AAA Shakes the Industry In a surprise pre-show announcement, WWE revealed it had acquired Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, one of Mexico's top wrestling promotions — a bold expansion move that signals WWE's global ambitions. Not Without Criticism: Fans Slam "Ad-a-Mania" Despite the action, many fans voiced frustration over the excessive product placement and advertisements throughout the event. From branded ring mats to ad-themed entrances and frequent in-show promotions, some attendees dubbed the event 'Ad-a-Mania.' Still, with no additional cost for Netflix subscribers and an action-packed card, many fans felt the trade-off was worth it. What's Next for WWE? With Cena's historic moment in the books and WrestleMania wrapped, the WWE universe shifts its focus to what comes next. One thing's for sure: after this unforgettable weekend, WWE's next chapter begins with more momentum than ever.

WWE Confirms Roman Reigns Return Date Ahead of WrestleMania 41
The WWE Universe can rejoice as the return of Roman Reigns to television has been officially announced. The "Tribal Chief" is set to make his highly anticipated comeback in the coming weeks, culminating in appearances on two pivotal episodes of Friday Night SmackDown. Also Read Behind the Scenes: The Rock's WWE Return Sparks Buzz! WWE has confirmed that Reigns will be live in attendance at the March 21st SmackDown event in Bologna, Italy, and again on the March 28th edition of the show from London, England. This scheduling places Reigns firmly back in the spotlight just in time for the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 41. Roman Reigns WWE Return Date Confirmed His return fuels speculation regarding his WrestleMania plans. Initially, before The Rock's re-emergence, Reigns was rumored to participate in a high-stakes Triple Threat match against CM Punk and Seth Rollins. While the current direction of his storyline remains shrouded in mystery, his return signifies a significant shift in the landscape of WWE's premier storylines. Reigns has been absent from WWE programming since the Royal Rumble, where he was written off TV following a brutal assault by Seth Rollins. The narrative was crafted to keep Reigns out of the Men's Elimination Chamber, reinforcing his aura of invincibility. WWE maintains a strategic approach to Reigns character, ensuring that any pinfall loss is reserved for major, storyline-driven moments. Reigns return coincides with WWE's extensive European tour, spanning from March 15th to March 31st. Fans across the continent still have the opportunity to witness WWE's top stars in action, as tickets remain available for these events.
