Abut 4-5 years ago, the biggest match on the Wrestlemania card used to be the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship match. However, it's no longer about that. Now it's about who gets to challenge The Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania.
In the last few years, The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak has become something that's cherished highly by many pro wrestling fans. They just can't stand the thought of someone finally breaking the streak. The mere thought of it scares them.
Not only that, but a very large portion of The Undertaker's fan base is because of his undefeated streak.
Whenever Wrestlemania rolls in now, Vince McMahon is equally as concerned to finding The Undertaker a suitable opponent as he is to finding a good WWE Championship match. This year, he even went as far to as Brock Lesnar to make a one time appearance at this year's Wrestlemania to face the Deadman.
Many WWE wrestlers have stated that if they got to choose between a WWE Championship match, or a bout with the Phenom, they'd opt to face him.
It's pretty clear by this point that whoever break's The Undertaker's streak (or if someone ever does), it'll be someone who's ready to handle the major heel heat that he'll have afterwards and the fact that WWE has put so much trust in him.
There's always a chance that the streak might never end and The Undertaker might retire with it as his legacy. Whichever way it goes, many people purchase Wrestlemania just to see Undertaker's match.
The Wrestlemania main event now consists of who will get to challenge the Phenom.
