Ranking Every Match in The Undertaker’s Legendary WrestleMania Streak (21-0)

For 23 years, WrestleMania had one absolute, unbreakable rule: If The Undertaker walked into the ring, his opponent was walking out with a loss.

The Streak wasn’t just an undefeated record. It evolved into wrestling’s ultimate Holy Grail—growing bigger and grander than any World Championship or storyline. When Brock Lesnar finally conquered it in 2014, it didn’t tarnish the legacy. If anything, it immortalized every single victory that came before it.

From forgotten early-90s squashes to 5-star emotional masterpieces, here is the definitive ranking of all 21 victories from The Undertaker’s iconic WrestleMania Streak.

At a Glance: The Complete Streak Overview

The Early Years & Building Blocks (Ranks 21–16)

21. vs. Jimmy Snuka — WrestleMania VII (1991)

• The Drama: Where it all began. A short, methodical squash match where a young Undertaker effortlessly dismantled “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka. Nobody knew it then, but history was born.

20. vs. Jake “The Snake” Roberts — WrestleMania VIII (1992)

• The Drama: Fresh off his iconic face turn, Undertaker absorbed two DDTs from Jake Roberts, popped back up instantly, and hit a Tombstone Piledriver on the floor.

19. vs. Giant Gonzalez — WrestleMania IX (1993)

• The Drama: Easily the weakest in-ring match of The Streak. The 8-foot giant lacked mobility, and the match ended via a bizarre chloroform-induced Disqualification.

18. vs. King Kong Bundy — WrestleMania XI (1995)

• The Drama: Undertaker reclaimed his urn from the Million Dollar Corporation in a slow, powerhouse brawl that moved his record to a clean 4-0.

17. vs. Big Show & A-Train — WrestleMania XIX (2003)

• The Drama: Originally planned as a tag match with Nathan Jones, Undertaker was forced into a handicap match. Despite the uneven odds, Taker pinned A-Train after a flying chokeslam.

16. vs. Diesel — WrestleMania XII (1996)

• The Drama: Two heavyweights going toe-to-toe. Diesel dropped Undertaker with two Jackknife Powerbombs, but Taker’s unnatural resilience allowed him to rally back for the victory.

Championship Gold & Grudge Wars (Ranks 15–10)

15. vs. Sycho Sid — WrestleMania 13 (1997)

• The Climax: With the WWF Championship on the line, Shawn Michaels repeatedly interfered. Undertaker capitalized on the chaos, hitting Sister Abigail—err, Tombstone Piledriver—to capture his second World Title.

14. vs. Kane — WrestleMania XIV (1998)

• The Climax: Months of terrifying brotherly buildup culminated in an epic war. It took a staggering three Tombstone Piledrivers for Undertaker to finally put down his monstrous half-brother.

13. vs. Big Boss Man — WrestleMania XV (1999)

• The Shock Factor: A physical Hell in a Cell match mostly remembered for its chilling post-match angle, where The Brood lowered a noose and “hanged” Boss Man inside the steel structure.

12. vs. Mark Henry — WrestleMania 22 (2006)

• The Climax: Facing the “World’s Strongest Man,” Undertaker pulled off an impressive suicide dive over the top rope before rolling Henry into a casket to go 14-0.

11. vs. Kane — WrestleMania XX (2004)

• The Atmosphere: After being buried alive at Survivor Series, Undertaker resurrected his iconic “Deadman” persona with Paul Bearer by his side, making the entrance far more legendary than the match itself.

10. vs. Ric Flair — WrestleMania X8 (2002)

• The Intensity: Ric Flair bled buckets and absorbed insane punishment. Arn Anderson delivered a surprise Spinebuster, but Undertaker out-brawled the “Nature Boy” in a brutal No-DQ classic.

The Modern Classics (Ranks 9–6)

9. vs. Batista — WrestleMania 23 (2007)

• In-Ring Quality: Both men had a huge point to prove after being placed in the middle of the card. They delivered a hard-hitting, physical masterpiece that saw Undertaker win the World Heavyweight Title.

8. vs. Randy Orton — WrestleMania 21 (2005)

• The Suspense: The first match where “The Streak” was actively pushed as the main storyline. Orton’s near-fall off a reversed Chokeslam into an RKO had 60,000 fans convinced the streak was over.

7. vs. Triple H — WrestleMania X-Seven (2001)

• The Brawl: Brawling through the stadium crowd, referee knockouts, and a terrifying sledgehammer spot made this an instant classic during the peak of the Attitude Era.

6. vs. Edge — WrestleMania XXIV (2008)

• The Main Event: Edge systematically countered every single one of Undertaker’s moves. It took a sudden Hell’s Gate submission hold out of nowhere for Taker to force the tap-out and win the World Title.

5. vs. Triple H — WrestleMania XXVII (2011)

• Match Style: No Holds Barred War
• The Drama: A brutal physical beating where Triple H executed three Pedigrees and even used Undertaker’s own Tombstone against him. Broken and battered, Undertaker trapped Triple H in a desperate Hell’s Gate to win—leaving the ring on a stretcher despite his victory.

4. vs. CM Punk — WrestleMania 29 (2013)

• Match Style: Singles Grudge Match
• The Drama: Fueled by the real-life passing of Paul Bearer, CM Punk used psychological taunts and Paul Heyman’s antics to push Taker to his limits. The counter of a GTS into a Tombstone Piledriver remains sheer poetry in motion.

3. vs. Triple H — WrestleMania 28 (2012)

• Match Style: Hell in a Cell (“End of an Era”)
• The Drama: Inside the Cell with Shawn Michaels as special referee, this was raw emotional cinema. The iconic sweet-chin-music into a pedigree near-fall is arguably the most heart-stopping 2-count in WWE history.

2. vs. Shawn Michaels — WrestleMania XXV (2009)

• Match Style: Singles Masterpiece
• The Drama: Widely considered the greatest match ever wrestled on American soil. Light vs. Darkness. Zero gimmicks—just pure, unadulterated storytelling, flawless near-falls, and breathtaking athletic execution.

1. vs. Shawn Michaels — WrestleMania XXVI (2010)

• Match Style: Streak vs. Career
• The Drama: Higher stakes than WM25. If HBK lost, his career was over. The image of a beaten Shawn Michaels slapping Undertaker across the face before receiving a jump-starting final Tombstone made this the most emotionally rewarding match in wrestling history.

The Shock That Shook the World: WrestleMania XXX

At WrestleMania XXX in 2014, Brock Lesnar delivered three F-5s, pinned The Undertaker, and ended The Streak at 21-1.

The eerie, deathly silence inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome said more than words ever could. Yet, that single loss did not diminish the 21 victories. It cemented The Streak as an unrepeatable miracle that defined an entire era of professional wrestling.
