You're delusional if you somehow think Ambrose will get that big of a push to face Taker at Wrestlemania. Honestly, I thought HHH should have been the man to beat the streak. I don't think anyone else currently is even worthy.
Possibly RVD, if he's still here by then. Most probable are John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Maybe Y2J.

If he's retiring, then John Cena. Making this generation's biggest star your last victim is the perfect way for Undertaker to end the streak and close out his career, especially since he's never beaten a guy who was the #1 star of the company as far as Wrestlemania matches go. Shawn Michaels doesn't count since he wasn't the face of the company when he lost at 25 and 26 and was only top dog during one calendar year (1996.) John Cena has been the top dog for the longest that anyone has been (barring Sammartino) and has just about more kayfabe accomplishments than anyone in the modern Mania era.
If he doesn't retire, then Brock Lesnar. WWE tried to get this match going at WM27 with the real life brief UFC confrontation between Lesnar and Undertaker (which was supposed to get WWE a fair bit of publicity to hype the match, which doesn't make sense since it wouldn't correlate with Undertaker's Deadman character) but Dana White was the one with the power to allow Lesnar to wrestle a match in WWE and he said no. Undertaker also did an interview before WM29 where he said he wants to fight Lesnar at Wrestlemania before he retires.
No one else is even considerable, certainly not someone like RVD. I've pondered them giving a big push to Bray Wyatt by letting him get the Wrestlemania match with Taker, but I don't know. He's obviously getting a big push right out the gate and with him tangling with Kane and being a dark sort of character (which makes him a formidable opponent for Undertaker), I could see it leading into a Wrestlemania encounter with The Phenom later on if they don't go with the more obvious choices of Cena or Lesnar. But you could be guaranteed that it would pretty much kill Undertaker's streak of good/great matches (arguably the best matches of the card) of the last several Wrestlemanias starting with 23.

I'd like to see him go against an up and comer like Ambrose or Wyatt but there are only two people I see actually having a chance to face Undertaker at WrestleMania 30. Those two guys of course being John Cena and Brock Lesnar. It doesn't really matter which one out of the two Taker would face as long as he goes over. Taker should've stopped at 20 anyways imo.

He will beat the streak with his Lazers just like they broke Goldberg's with a tazer!
Don't see the Lesnar/Taker love affair at all... once again Vince has duped you people into buying into something that will line his pockets...its the same as Rock/Brock...
You all seem to have some imaginary feud placated in your brains that Lesnar/Taker was so epic when it was just another feud...it was 11 years ago and the last thing Mean Mark needs is to have his lid crush by dat Beast
Ill give you John Cena or Bray Wyatt... otherwise give me a worker like Punk or Danielson that are harmless enough in the ring and deliver quality work.... its not like it matters who eats the pin considering who's on the other side
