Below are some top news stories of the day, involving The Undertaker and Tony Khan.
• In 2014, Brock Lesnar’s victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 brought an end to one of wrestling’s most iconic streaks: 21-0. Even after a decade, this decision remains a hot topic in the wrestling world.
Recently, WWF/WCW Legend Kevin Nash weighed in, suggesting Bray Wyatt as a worthy streak-breaker. During a Patreon Q&A in April 2024, The Undertaker himself mused over what could have been if he had faced Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania, hinting at Austin as a potential streak-breaker due to his unparalleled popularity.
Here’s what The Deadman said:
“It’d have to be Stone Cold. That’s really one of the only guys I didn’t get to work with at Mania. That would have been huge. The Streak may have gotten broken earlier, but still, it would have been nice to work with Steve at Mania.
Steve was over at a level; that was just a whole another level that he was over at. It would probably be, just like anything else, half the people would love it, half the people would hate it. That’s how it is. Everybody has an opinion but that’s the guy that I would have liked to work with at Mania that I never got a chance to.”

• AEW has been on a signing spree in 2024, welcoming top talents like Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay, and reportedly the Motor City Machine Guns, along with Mercedes Mone.
The addition of Mone almost tempted WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella to consider a one-year run with AEW. Although Nikki decided against it, AEW owner Tony Khan expressed openness to The Bella Twins making a comeback in the future.
Here’s what he said on the ‘Battleground’ podcast:
“If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come into AEW, I would be very interested in that. I think the world of her. I have so much respect for Nicole and Brie. They’re like family to us, because Bryan Danielson is like a part of my family. That makes Brie and Nicole part of the family.
I have so much respect for both of them and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here, any time. That was so great to hear, it means the world. And I just like both of them so much. I think they’re really, really cool, and really, really great stars that would add a lot to AEW if they ever wanted to come.”
