World Wrestling Entertainment fans were stunned on Sunday night after Brock Lesnar ended the long-standing streak of the Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.
But while most of us were surprised with the result of the Lesnar-Undertaker match, Forbes reported that gamblers knew that the Undertaker will absorb his first WrestleMania defeat in 22 matches.
According to the report, Undertaker opened at -3000 and went as high as -5000 on Saturday.
But as the match approaches, the money line surge into an opposite direction - a surprising trend considering the fact that the WWE gave little indication that Undertaker's streak will come to an end this year, and not against Brock Lesnar, who has been in and out of WWE.

"Lesnar is something of a journeyman who shows up and disappears throughout the year, and not quite the expected choice to end a streak more than two decades in the making," Forbes noted. "And yet some gamblers clearly knew this was the year. There's no way to know for sure if they had inside information, but it's yet another piece of evidence why betting on an event with a predetermined outcome is not the smartest use of money."
Will Daniel Bryan Stay As Champion For A Long Period?
Another highlight of this year's WrestleMania is the performance of now-crowd favorite Daniel Bryan.
Bryan defeated Triple H to earn a spot in the main event of WrestleMania 30 wherein he faced Batista and Randy Orton in a three-way battle.
Bryan was an underdog heading into the match because both of his opponents are definitely bigger than him, but he captured the WWE world heavyweight title when he forced Batista to tap out to his Yes! Lock.
Fight fans are still unsure, though, how long Bryan's reign will last, but WWE legend Hulk Hogan thinks that it could last longer than expected based on the reaction of the crowd on Sunday night.
"It's his time. This is a new era. And last night in the Superdome the people really let everybody know what they wanted and who they wanted to be champion, so I think everybody gets it," Hogan said.
