The Undertaker was a household name in the WWE and WrestleMania was his show. He was undefeated at WrestleMania for 21 years. But towards the end of his career, The Undertaker had a couple of bad matches owing to his age given that he wrestled into his 50s.

The Phenom was recently interviewed by SHAK Wrestling where he recalled facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33. The Deadman admitted to being disappointed with the match which made him even more grateful for the encounter he ended up having with AJ Styles. He said, “I was so disappointed in my performance with Roman at that ‘Mania. I can give you one hundred excuses, ‘and my hip was this, and all that.’ But I am the one that made the decision to do it. So I would rather accept the consequences of that decision. But it was very gratifying to do something.

“One, it was special because I had always wanted to work with AJ. Although the original plan was to do it in a ring in a more conventional manner. To be able to share such a unique match, and go out with a positive, I think it was the best-case scenario for me.”

It was right to walk away after Styles match

The Deadman stated that he was satisfied with his last match which was against AJ Styles and why he thought it was the right time to retire and walk away from the business.

“I don’t know if the match had been in a wrestling ring, although I was in great shape, and felt really good, and motivated. I think everything worked out the way that it should,” he explained. “And I left on an extremely high note, I was personally satisfied. That was what I was searching for those last few years. That one match that I could hang my hat on and say, ‘I’m done, I’m good, it’s time to go home.”
