Like Thedric said, the Undertaker's streak has become a draw of it's own in recent years and with each passing year they focus on making it a major part of the show, featuring talents who the crowd may actually be able to buy snapping it.
First they put him against Batista for the title, then Edge in a streak vs streak for the title, and then Shawn.
Undertaker more than likely only has a few Wrestlemania's left in him, so I don't think you'll see him taking any steps backwards, or having any more Mark Henry or Nathan Jones-esque matches.
You'll probably see him take on Shawn in a rematch this year, Cena in a big money match next year, and if he makes it any further than that he'll only be taking on the best the company has to offer.
