Career vs Career match would be pretty great although not with Jericho unless the WWE really built him up by Mania. Past few years Jericho's star power and rub has taken a big hit especially with the WWE doing nothing for those who beat him.

The streak was an instant WrestleMania draw.

And on top of that, he ended up just giving Taker his win back and the streak match ended up being just the first in a split series.
And now they would kill to have the allure of Taker's streak match at WrestleMania to make up for the lack of star power that will be there.

I'd argue the WWE feeling the need for Taker to win a meaningless Mania match at the expense of Bray and then completely ignoring that match with the Lesnar-Taker feud was worse than just losing the streak itself. Then taking the Mania rub Lesnar had and giving it straight back to Taker.
Bray ended up being the biggest loser of the three guys since he gained nothing from the Taker Mania feud nor the later Wyatts vs Taker/Kane feud. WWE didn't even bother to spare Lesnar from 50-50 booking which ended up leading to Taker getting his win/rub back instead of Rollins, Reigns, or someone else who needed it more.
