Undertaker Reveals How He Wants To Retire

The retirement of The Undertaker has been a topic discussed since 2014. When Brock Lesnar broke his streak at WrestleMania XXX many people assumed that was it.

Of course, it wasn’t. He still competes over six years later. However, now, we know how The Deadman wants to go out. Undertaker told PEOPLE that he doesn’t want a retirement speech and would rather go out after a great performance. Here is the quote:

“When you’re thinking of the old school Undertaker, that’s not a character that comes down to the ring and says, ‘Thank you for being with me for 30 years. It’s been a great career. I want to thank…’ That’s not what that guy does if you’re being true to the character and what people want to see,”

“I’ve had this amazing career, I’ve been so blessed to have this career and far exceeded the expectations of when I got in this business. But I kind of want the John Elway ending, you know? The John Elway ending, when he went out and he won a couple of Super Bowls and then retired. Or Peyton Manning, he wins the Super Bowl, then retired. When I’m looking at it, I want that match, that match when it’s just like, ‘Oh yeah. Bam. I still got it. I got gas in the tank, I tore it down. Now walk away.'”

John Elway was one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL. He retired after winning Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999, going out on top. Peyton Manning did the same thing, retiring after winning Super Bowl 50 in 2015.

Undertaker recently put on an acclaimed performance against AJ Styles in the Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36.
