9. The Undertaker’s Pointless Match at WrestleMania 31
WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans last year actually wasn’t half bad. Overshadowing all of the other interesting matches of that night was The Undertaker‘s loss to Brock Lesnar, curtailing The Deadman’s streak at 21-1. If you saw it live, you’ll never forget it. Even if you happened to miss that WrestleMania, you’ll still probably never forget it. People gaped. People cried. People left. It was one of the last pure moments that WWE has to offer.
So what happened during this year’s WrestleMania? Did we leave Taker’s legacy be and start using his match time for something and someone else? Nah. Instead, he had a rather pointless, thrown-together, haphazard battle with Bray Wyatt. Even more confusingly, The Undertaker won. Once again, Wyatt lost unnecessarily, Taker faded into the shadows, and fans were left with absolutely no closure, a trend that WWE has repeated again and again.
