Two of the biggest stars in professional wrestling battled for the first time since 2003 in a two minute match which allowed The Phenom to redeem himself. I speculated that Undertaker would return in his American Badass character due to him leaving his Deadman gear in the ring the year before, however that wasn't the case. They even went to the extent of having Cena show up at Wrestlemania as a "fan" with hopes that Undertaker would make his decision last minute, thus never actually booking the match prior to the show. Cena spent months teasing a match with the Undertaker and calling him out with no match officially booked. When Wrestlemania 34 came around, the rumours of Cena challenging Undertaker started swirling on the interweb. There was an entire spectacle following the match where he left his gloves, jacket and hat in the ring as if this was it, only to return the next year to redeem himself.Īs far as we knew, The Undertaker had officially retired after Wrestlemania 33 after a rough match with Roman Reigns. Also, this was supposed to be Undertaker's final farewell match yet nobody wanted to see him go out this way. The problems with this match had more to do with how hard it was to watch, as The Phenom looked off his game even though Reigns tried his best to help him throughout the match. As someone who didn't dislike Roman Reigns, the predictable outcome didn't really bother me. Whether you liked Roman Reigns at the time would also dictate how you felt about this match. However, they were able to create a compelling storyline where it seemed as if the Undertaker was going to pass the keys to his "yard" to Roman Reigns. It was one of those matches that took place after Taker was defeated at Wrestlemania, so he was no longer defending the streak. The match against Roman Reigns from Wrestlemania 33 is ranked this low for multiple reasons. That being said, it felt like the best time to rank all of Undertaker's 27 Wrestlemania matches according to yours truly. As of today, the Undertaker has officially retired after three decades, which means there won't be any more Wrestlemania matches for the Lord of Darkness. Once the streak was shockingly ended, the Undertaker continued to appear at Wrestlemania, whether it was to settle something personal or to redeem himself. There was a long stretch where Undertaker's undefeated streak became one of the cornerstones for Wrestlemania, if not the main attraction. It was never planned from the beginning, but once the WWE caught on to the fact that Undertaker had not been defeated at Wrestlemania, it took on a life of its own. There was a special aura around the Phenom when Wrestlemania season came around and he became synonymous with the event. The Undertaker is one of my favourite wrestlers of all-time, which means I always looked forward to his matches and segments growing up. Hey everyone! It's "The Wrestling Classic" Justin here with another article for On37PM.
