• Former WWE Champion Was In The Conversation Of Who Will Break The Undertaker’s Streak

Before The Undertaker WrestleMania Streak came to an end in 2014, there were many names considered over the years who could be ‘the one’ to defeat The Phenom at the grandest stage of them all.

One of these names was former WWE Champion Batista.

Below is what WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross said on his podcast:

“Casual talk, but not dead serious. That Undertaker Streak was always perceived as something extraordinarily special and unduplicatable, and so, you’re always going to have that question, at every WrestleMania, is this going to be the WrestleMania that Taker’s Streak ends?

So, I know that [Batista] was in the conversation, but I don’t know how serious that conversation was. I don’t think Dave was ever seriously considered, but he was in the conversation.”

On April 1, 2007, The Undertaker defeated Batista to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 23 and take the Streak to 15-0.
