In what can be considered as the biggest achievement in Brock Lesnar's pro-wrestling career, the Beast shocked the world at WrestleMania XXX when he defeated The Undertaker to end his 21-0 winning streak on the Grandest Stage of them all.

In what was one of the most debatable decisions by the company, Lesnar's victory over the Deadman immediately made him the biggest thing in WWE and all of sports entertainment. The two then went on to have a couple of more matches, including the one at Hell in a Cell 2015, with Lesnar again coming out as the overall winner.

The interesting fact to note here is that "The Streak" was not a thing when Lesnar last wrestled on Weekly TV in 2004. While The Undertaker already had an impressive undefeated record of 12-0 at WrestleMania by then, it was not until his rivalry against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 21, that an opponent wanted to face him explicitly to end his undefeated record at the Show of Shows.

It was the match against Shawn Michaels that made Undertaker's streak such a huge deal as the two had a rivalry for the ages - some of the best storytelling WWE has ever done. After all these years, though the Streak does not exist anymore, Lesnar has Undertaker to thank to give him the honor to be the one in 21 and 1.
