The Undertaker has addressed the historic ending of his WrestleMania streak, revealing that the decision to have Brock Lesnar end his 21-0 record at WrestleMania 30 came on the day of the event. During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker explained that he initially disagreed with the choice.
I didn’t feel like Brock needed it, right? Brock was… he was an attraction all to himself by that time. People, you know, all the internet geniuses, they’re saying, ‘Well, he had lost this and he didn’t do this and he didn’t do that, he needed a win.’ But Brock didn’t need it.

The Undertaker discussed alternative possibilities, suggesting other talents who could have benefited more from defeating the streak:
Would it have helped Bray? Obviously, it would have helped Bray. Would it have skyrocketed Roman? Probably, if they’d gotten that juice.

Recalling the moment he learned of the decision, The Undertaker described his meeting with Vince McMahon at the Superdome:
It’s early afternoon in the Superdome, and I’m in a room completely by myself. And then the old man walks in. And that just doesn’t happen. As soon as I saw him, I knew right away, like, ‘Okay, I know what’s coming.’
The Undertaker detailed his conversation with McMahon about the decision:
I questioned him. I gave my points, just wanted to make sure that he was sure. Mark, if not him, who?
