At the conclusion of his WWE Network Series “Undertaker: The Last Ride,” The Undertaker announced he was retiring from in-ring competition, ending a career that had begun in 1987 with World Class Championship Wrestling. The 5th, and final episode of the series focused on his cinematic Boneyard match against AJ Styles from WrestleMania 36, and he’d go on to explain it was what he was looking for with his final match.
My career. My legacy. It speaks for itself, and I’m happy with it. At the end of the day, that’s really all that matters, and I have this other life that I need to go and experience and enjoy the fruits of my labor and enjoy the blessings that I have, my wife and my children.
If Vince was in a pinch, would I come back? I guess time will only tell there. In case of emergency break glass. You pull out The Undertaker. I mean, I would have to consider that. Never say never, but at this point in my life, and in my career, I have no desire to get back in the ring. This time the cowboy really rides away.
There’s nothing left for me to conquer. There’s nothing left for me to accomplish. The game has changed. It’s time for new guys to come up and, I don’t know, the time just seems right. The Undertaker
The Undertaker seemingly retired at the end of WrestleMania 33 in 2017 after putting over Roman Reigns in the main event, but as shown in the documentary series, he was unhappy at the match and didn’t want to end his career with what he considered a bad match. He’d return at the following years’ WrestleMania, defeating John Cena in a squash and go on to have four more matches in 2018. He’d twice wrestle in 2019 and then compete twice in 2020, once winning the Tuwaiq Trophy Gauntlet and then defeating AJ Styles in the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania 36 in the aforementioned Boneyard match which now looks to have been his last hurrah.
