#5 in our list of WWE Superstars who almost broke The Undertaker' streak - Edge
The Undertaker challenged Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship in 2008 at WrestleMania. Every fan knew about the streak and what it meant in WWE and thus every Undertaker match was highly anticipated.
The match was intense and intriguing, with the result being in The Deadman's favor extending his record to 16-0. However, one thing to note here is that during the development of the match, Edge was proposed to break the streak.
However, The Rated-R Superstar thought the idea made no sense and rejected it. It was The Phenom's wife, Michelle McCool, who talked about it.
"Actually I remember a few years prior that WrestleMania (24) versus Edge they talked about Edge breaking the streak and it was Edge that was actually like, ‘That makes zero sense. I don’t want to do that. Why would I do that? The fans already love him. What’s it gonna do for Edge?’ - Michelle McCool via New York Post.
Edge is one of the best superstars in the business and his decision not to break the streak was welcomed by the fans.
