Brock Lesnar Reflects On Ending The Undertaker’s WrestleMania Streak, Says He Was Excited But Felt Bad

Lesnar looks back on ending the streak.

WWE’s WrestleMania 30 event featured Brock Lesnar versus The Undertaker, with Undertaker’s 21-0 WrestleMania streak being on the line.

Lesnar defeated Undertaker and put an end to the streak. WWE ranked it as the 36th greatest WrestleMania moment in history.

Lesnar opened up about it during his appearance on Spittin’ Chiclets and touched on The Undertaker suffering a concussion during the match. Lesnar stated that he was excited to end the streak but also felt bad.

“For me, guys, it’s really simple. Like, this is a business. It’s a business and I think a lot of guys live and breathe the lifestyle of it, and for Taker, obviously it wasn’t my call to make. At the time, Vince McMahon — if there was a person that could take the streak away with a legitimate background and people could believe it, I guess it was me. There’s a lot of people that are pissed that it’s me, but, it’s not my call, and so, my hats off to Undertaker, Mark, he’s a great guy and at the end, it’s a business. It’s a give and take, and it was time for Taker to give, and it was a time for Brock Lesnar to take it.” Lesnar was asked to confirm if he went to the hospital with Undertaker after their match, and he said, “Yeah. I don’t know what happened during the match… He was a mentor of mine. I worked with Taker for many years and so, now, we’re out in this match and Taker got hit left field day of. He’s coming to his (22nd) WrestleMania thinking that he’s gonna win and then two hours before we go on, the rug gets pulled on him and so, a lot of different emotions there, I’m sure, and then I was excited but I also felt bad too. I’m the guy and I get to be the guy. So, we’re out in the match and… Taker’s not being Taker. It’s a dance out there and you just gotta do your best to get through it and we did, and then, yeah, out of respect because, Taker, I spent a lot of time with Taker and I wanted to make sure that he was all right and that’s part of the deal, you know? I did go to the hospital and make sure he was okay and that’s just part of the respect thing.”

Lesnar’s next WrestleMania is WrestleMania 42, where he’ll be going one-on-one with Oba Femi.
