Tracing the Undertaker’s historic 21-game winning streak
The Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak stands as one of the most hallowed records in the business. Spanning over two decades, this remarkable achievement became an attraction in itself, with fans eagerly anticipating which wrestler would be able to break the Deadman’s legendary run.
Over the course of his illustrious career, The Undertaker competed in a record 27 matches at WrestleMania, surpassing even Triple H’s second-place record by four matches. His WrestleMania record stands at an impressive 25 wins and 2 losses. Here, we look at the highlights from his 21-0 start in Wrestlemania.
Undertaker’s 21-game streak is a legendary achievement
The Undertaker’s legendary streak at the Show of Shows commenced at WrestleMania VII in 1991, where he defeated Jimmy Snuka. For over 20 years, the Deadman maintained the streak, missing only two WrestleMania due to injury. During this time, he vanquished 18 opponents, solidifying his status as an unstoppable force at the grandest stage of them all.
The Deadman faced a multitude of formidable opponents, each match adding another chapter to his storied career. This includes all of the modern legends, and some contemporary WWE figures, such as the likes of the Big Show, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Triple H, and Edge. From taking on some legends to showing some young stars who is the ultimate boss, the Undertaker delivered some of the greatest moments from the sport’s history.
After the likes of Randy Orton, CM Punk and Triple H tried to break his ever-elongating streak, it was in 2014 that he finally lost a match. The historic reign finally came to an end at WrestleMania XXX in 2014, at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Despite this loss, The Undertaker continued to compete at WrestleMania, engaging in five more matches at the annual event.
While The Undertaker experienced another loss at WrestleMania 33, this time against Roman Reigns, his legacy remains indelible. The Streak, with its 21-0 record, transcended the realm of sports entertainment, capturing the imaginations of fans and elevating WrestleMania to new heights of excitement and anticipation.
The Undertaker officially retired in 2020, culminating his illustrious career with a victorious match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. With his undefeated streak intact, he solidified his status as one of the greatest wrestlers in history. With a streak lasting 20 years with numerous records broken along the way, the Undertaker will forever be counted among the greatest wrestlers of WWE history.
