The Undertaker: It Took Me A While To Come To Grips With Retirement. I Didn’t Know What To Do

The Undertaker retired after his Boneyard Match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in 2020.

He has since made various appearances for the company, including when he appeared at WrestleMania XL alongside John Cena in the main event of night two during Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. The Bloodline, Seth Rollins, Cena, and Taker got involved as Cena laid out Solo Sikoa while Taker choke-slammed The Rock.

Taker has said that the moment gave him closure about his wrestling career being over. On the latest episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, Taker talked about his retirement.

Taker said, “In my mind, I could still go, but in my heart, I wanted to. But I knew I was done, out of gas. It took me a while to come to grips with it, even though I knew it was the right thing. There was still that huge void. ‘What do I do now?’ I don’t know that I want to coach, or do this. This is all I’ve known for the past 30-plus years.”
