The Streak (Wrestling)

**The Streak** is a series of 21 straight victories for professional wrestler The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) at WWE's biggest yearly event, WrestleMania. Both WWE and news outlets used this term to refer to Calaway's victories.

The winning streak began at WrestleMania VII in 1991 when he beat Jimmy Snuka, with the final win coming against CM Punk at WrestleMania 29 in 2013; The Undertaker was absent from WrestleMania X (1994) and WrestleMania 2000, owing to injury. Overall, he defeated 18 men during The Streak, which included three matches with Triple H and two each opposite Kane and Shawn Michaels. At WrestleMania XXX in 2014, The Streak was broken by Brock Lesnar, who defeated The Undertaker by pinfall.
