As the world of professional wrestling continues to evolve, one man who has been at the forefront of the industry for years is CM Punk. Known for his unapologetic and honest take on things, CM Punk has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind. Recently, the WWE legend opened up about a pivotal moment in wrestling history that he surprisingly skipped – the end of The Streak at WrestleMania XXX.
In an interview with a prominent wrestling publication, CM Punk revealed that he didn’t even watch the conclusion of ‘The Streak’ during his time away from WWE. The Streak, of course, refers to the undefeated streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania, which came to an end at the hands of Brock Lesnar in 2014. For those who may not remember, CM Punk was still active in the WWE at that time, but he had left the company in January 2014.
A Year of Silence
According to CM Punk, he didn’t watch any WWE programming for an entire year after leaving the company. This may come as a surprise to fans who were used to seeing Punk’s sharp commentary and analysis on the WWE product. In fact, CM Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, was still competing in the WWE during this time, which likely made things even more difficult for him.
“It was tough for me to watch the WWE during that time, especially since AJ was still competing,” CM Punk said in the interview. “I didn’t want to be one of those guys who was too close to the situation, so I just kind of… disconnected. I didn’t watch anything until the next WrestleMania, and by that point, I was really curious about what had happened.”
The End of The Streak: A Watershed Moment
WrestleMania XXX was a pivotal moment in WWE history, as it marked the end of The Streak in a match between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. The match itself was a highly anticipated one, with many fans expecting Lesnar to emerge victorious. In the end, it was Lesnar who emerged from the ring with his hand raised, having defeated The Undertaker in a shocking upset.
While many fans were left stunned by the outcome of the match, CM Punk was already out of the picture by the time it happened. As such, he had a unique perspective on the event, and was likely one of the few people who didn’t have a vested interest in the outcome.

“CM Punk is a highly intelligent and engaging individual,” the insider said. “He’s got a lot to say, and I think the wrestling world is really going to enjoy seeing him return to the public eye in some capacity. We’ll have to wait and see what he has in store for us, but I’m sure it’ll be something big.”
