Say John Morrison or any other of the young talent had a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania in the years to come, and they didn’t break The Streak, but they still had an great match that stole the show (almost as good as the matches Shawn Michaels had with him).
Would their career skyrocket just because of an amazing match?
Prime example: Randy Orton.
Randy Orton had a very personal rivalry with The Undertaker regarding over the streak. It was during this time that the streak grew increasingly popular and noticed. Randy Orton had the buildup, preparation, and ability to put on suitable matches against The Undertaker. Randy Orton was first booked as the Legend Killer; a remorseless man who destroyed legends in front of the fans. The Undertaker was a legend that refused to be killed and Orton taunted Taker for weeks and weeks until they finally clashed at Wrestlemania. There were many moments in the match where people thought Randy Orton was going to come out victorious over the deadman with the counters he made. It was a tremendous fight that was billed as Legend vs Legend Killer. Their feud turned very intense and personal over the next several months.
The Undertaker did turn Randy Orton into a worthy main eventer because Orton got much more noticed after his ongoing rivalry against Undertaker. Triple H gave Orton the necessary start to become a main eventer and The Undertaker gave Orton a chance to become a main eventer. Randy Orton turned into a credible superstar after this feud with The Undertaker, especially after their underrated classic match at Wrestlemania 21. Bob Orton eventually joined his son to go against The Undertaker and they had matches at Summerslam, Casket match at No Mercy, and the epic clash in Hell in a Cell at Armageddon. Randy Orton took The Undertaker to the limit in many occasions. Randy Orton and his father even crashed The Undertaker with a car. This feud had the atmosphere, intensity, and desire to beat the other. wwe realized this and called it feud of the year for 2005.
Orton’s career was elevated after The Undertaker and Randy Orton had a dramatic feud. They had a very heated feud with both superstars literally wanting to destroy each other. Orton didn’t only want to end The Streak, but he wanted to demolish The Undertaker as a whole. Randy Orton played every dirty trick in the book while The Undertaker continuously played mind games with Randy Orton. Their final match at Armageddon in Hell in a Cell was a great ending to such a heated rivalry.
In just a year, Randy Orton created history with The Undertaker more than The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Ultimate Warrior ever did with The Deadman. And this feud was far better than one sided feud between Undertaker & Brock Lesnar in 2002.

Nope.

No, Mark Henry remained the same

It really depends on how they worked there way up to the match to me. One good match means nothing. You really have to prove yourself and show people what you capable of and then once you build yourself up to that match i really think it will.

I think that it would, say for example Drew Mcintyre or Ted Dibiase got a match with Taker. They would probably be officially apart of the main event scene.

Jake the Snake Roberts had a good match, but I don’t think his career skyrocketed.
References :
Yes of course it will but on a limited level
I mean if John Morrison for example did that… he is a talented superstar with great performance
but his career is still no match for a career like HBK’s or HHH’s..

Well, this depends on several factors, but overall yes. First of all nobody can even dream of coming close to the HBK ‘Taker match. Second of all, the WWE won’t let a mid-carder have a match with ‘Taker the only way for this to happen is for JoMo to be come a main eventer by anyone means to be able to face ‘Taker. Now if CM Punk who is sort of a main dude and sort of not. If he were to face Undertaker, then yes his carrier would shoot up.

No, becuase there’s been alot of midcarders that had good matches with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania and they stayed midcarders. Kane is one exception.

So, the answer is yes. Of course there’s also a prime example for an epic failure about this matter (MARK F*CKING HENRY), but that’s a story for another time.
I wouldn’t think WWE would put a midcarder vs. Undertaker at Wrestlemania, Maybe at a smaller event yes
References :
I would say yes. Kane’s career did because of his match with the Undertaker at WrestleMania 14
