The Undertaker Discusses His Survivor Series Farewell: It’s Best I Didn’t Say Much
At WWE Survivor Series 2020, the WWE bid farewell to The Undertaker, who made his debut at the same event in 1990.
During his farewell, Undertaker made his slow walk to the ring and addressed the fans, giving a short speech and saying it was time for The Undertaker to “rest in peace.”
Speaking on the Victory Over Injury podcast, Undertaker reflected on his final farewell.
“I’d already come to peace with my decision, but it was really real once I put the hat and coat on. Knowing I was putting the hat and coat on for the last time and walking to the ring in that capacity, it was tough. It was probably best that I didn’t say much more than I did or I would have killed 30 years of work and turning into a blubbering idiot. It was a tough moment. I had already come to grips with the fact that I had gotten everything out of this sponge that you’re going to get, but when I put the hat and the coat on, things feel different. ‘I might have one more in me.’ No, that was it,” he said.
Undertaker wrestled his last official match at WrestleMania 36 when defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard match.
