WWE Hall of Famer Edge recently stated that Brock Lesnar shouldn’t have been the one to break The Undertaker’s legendary undefeated WrestleMania streak.
Edge recently had a chat with Sports Nation and opened up about Brock Lesnar breaking The Undertaker’s 2014 WrestleMania streak. He recalled how he refused to end the streak at WrestleMania 24 in 2008 and further made it clear that Roman Reigns should have been the chosen one.
“I think that should have been saved for someone you want to tie the rocket to. And you know and you trust and are going to like … to me Roman Reigns was the man to do it. And that’s where it should be. I know I understand he’s credible for doing it but okay great this is professional wrestling It’s not MMA So for me you do it with the character you think is your will pull cart for the next 10-15 years. “
Edge headlined WrestleMania 24 with The Undertaker
Edge had established itself as a mega-star on WWE TV by the time 2008 came along. He was the highest heel on WWE SmackDown at the time and started a heated feud with The Undertaker over the World Championship.
The duo fought in the show’s main event, and there were times in the match that led WWE fans to believe the streak would end that night. The Undertaker eventually defeated Edge to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
The Undertaker’s streak was eventually broken at WrestleMania 30 by his arch-rival Brock Lesnar. The big win made Lesnar arguably the most dangerous entity in WWE history.
He went on to play WWE legend John Cena squash during SummerSlam 2014 to win the WWE Championship. Lesnar was regularly featured in WWE’s main event scene for years after his victory over The Undertaker.
