The Streak is over. Cena isn't an interesting opponent now that Taker's actually lost a Mania match. The two have wrestled before, anyway, so its not like its some dream match that's never happened.
The last time they wrestled was in 2006, so enough time has passed. It would feel fresh.

Sit at home.
Have a sandwich.
Get some tattoos.
Go fishing. Maybe jerk off a little.
You know. Whatever.

Immediately after the Brock match, I thought he was done. I thought he had stuck around a year too long and that age had finally caught up to him. Then I heard about him being KOed early on and suffering a pretty severe concussion, which greatly affected the quality of the match.
Now I'm torn between a) thinking that the streak ending is the perfect stopping point, and b) hoping he has 1 more match so that he can go out with the type of performance he's given us so often over the last decade or so, which I'm confident he can do as long as he's not knocked loopy right as the match starts.
As much as I love both Sting and Taker, and as awesome as it would be to see those two face to face, thats not the match that will give Taker a proper sendoff, so unless they're able to do it at SummerSlam or something with the caveat that it's not Taker's final match, then I'd rather they not do it.

Just finish. I'm a massive Undertaker fan, but without the Streak, he doesnt need to be around any more. For his own health, i just want to see him ride into the proverbial sunset.
Although Undertaker: GM/Authority figure has its upside.

Career vs Career with Taker vs Lesnar at Survivor Series would be a nice send off. What other way can he retire?

Undertaker's Day Care Center is about to go year-round. That's been my theory over why he takes time off during the summer/gets "injured" in May. Kids are out of school by then, and it's a fun respite from the rigors of wrestling.

My fantasy booking scenario:
- Raw's leading up to June PPV, hype an Undertaker appearance for special announcement - June PPV: UT announces his retirement at Survivor Series PPV, but will be doing a retirement tour..give it some type of catchy name for it, like "Dead Man's Last Rides" or something like that - July PPV: rematch with Brock. UT loses again, but it sets up Brock for a match with Daniel Bryan at Summer Slam - Summer Slam: UT beats Cena... not a real storyline, just UT calls out Cena because he hasn't wrestled him in 8 or so years. - Hell in a Cell PPV: UT beats Kane... again, no real storylines, because history will speak for itself with UT/Kane/HiaC - Survivor Series: UT vs. Sting.. it will get out one of the last few "dream match" hold overs.. doesn't really matter who the winner is, but maybe give Sting the win if he wrestles one more match at WM31.
This may be a bit too many matches for him at this stage of Taker's career. But I really think it would be fitting for UT to retire at the same event he debuted. If it is (and if UT wants to go out at WM31) then skip Brock rematch. Still wrestle Cena at SummerSlam. Kant at Survivor Series. Brock rematch at Royal Rumble (where Taker gets his win back). Then Sting at WM31.

He's got one match left I believe where he'll beat Lesnar and avenge the streak.
I don't think Undertaker/Sting is happening and if you think that last match was worthy of being Taker's last and he's literally written off now with no fanfare you are batshit.

'The heel should win for once!' You completely waste Brock breaking the streak if you then have Taker beat him in another match. 'Brock is the breaker of the streak! ...But lost at Summerslam.'

Probably open up a restaurant, Takers Cold Cuts or Rest In Pizza, and then maybe a singing career cause I heard he has a voice of an angel

Easy. New gimmick at Wrestlemania - a losing streak.
Seriously, I dunno. Unless he says something about it we'll only figure it out when it's close to Wrestlemania next year.

A loss to Undertaker now doesn't diminish the ending of the streak. Lesnar could lose every single match for the rest of his career and never lose credibility because Heyman just has to say, this man beat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Whats the alternative scenario? Lesnar beats Bryan for the title and then Cesaro or Reigns takes the belt off of him? If that's it then why didn't either one of them just end the streak and get the rub directly? Maybe I'm wrong - but I'm convinced that the only reason the streak ended was to give Lesnar a temporary rub and set up Undertaker's retirement match. Do people really think that's it and in a year or two or three they'll announce Undertaker's HOF nomination out of the blue? Get real.

Make Undertaker vs Sting at Mania a dual retirement loser gets bared from the hall of fame. That would add a lot to the match.

There is still one more challenge for Undertaker : John Cena If its not for the streak does anyone really care about that match? I would still care. That said, I think Undertaker doesn't have anything to prove, so he can retire here and no one could really fault him, especially with how hurt he was. That said, I could maybe see him returning to say goodbye if he so chose, in a non-match maybe some sort of spectacle.
