• The Undertaker had his final match in the main event of WrestleMania 36 – Night 1 in 2020.
He defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match and this was his record 25th victory at WrestleMania.
However, Undertaker didn’t knew beforehand that this was going to be his final match, as he was contemplating having more matches.
After he was done filming the Boneyard Match, Undertaker realized his days in the ring as a wrestler are over.
Here’s what he said during a Q&A session on his Patreon:
“I wasn’t thinking ahead. The only thing I was thinking was, ‘There may be more gas in the tank for some other opponents,’ but I didn’t have anybody in mind. I was completely focused on AJ and the shape that I thought I was going to have to be in to have the match that I wanted to have with him, which would have been initially in a wrestling ring. So I mean, my whole focus was on that.”
