It Gave Me Closure

I’m glad Taker got closure. He’s done a lot for the business. He deserves it!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

He said in the Last Ride documentary he had closure...then we see him do spots to guys at NXT...then he had spots here. Seems like Undertaker never has closure despite what he says. 🤔

His new role should be the Ghost of Wrestlemania. If there’s a main event, (or even any match if you wanna make it more unpredictable) dealing with a situation of extreme injustice, Taker should show up and make things right.

I love taker and I’ll never complain about hearing the gong . But this SHOULD have been Austin . Yes taker has a history with Roman, the rock , and that family but the ONLY counter to the final boss that made sense was Austin .

[@gamerbeans7445]

Rock was always good at selling. Loved the 90s brilliant decade.

[@MrJLD94]

Not only was this a great moment for Taker but it was a great moment for Cody. If the Undertaker has your back then you have the ultimate stamp of approval.

[@work1907]

“We were in 98 again” damn.

[@213Gremlin]

I know there are a lot of people who don't like Cody. But I saw an interview his first year after he left WWE and felt how passionate he was about wrestling. Hearing him talk about it, you feel that he loves it more than anyone. Then AEW got me back into Wrestling, and it was good, til Covid. Then he came back to WWE which made me give it a try. To see a man who was once a midcard to low card guy who wanted it that much. To help start a company which he was basically the main force behind it along with (ugh) Tony and (ugh) Jericho. To show he could be a top guy and then coming to WWE. Then Roman, who was basically the main antagonist for the whole universe, and he comes and beats him as someone who will probably never go heel again. Our first real main protagonist of wrestling since Cena, but more fitting for a more adult era. For Undertaker to be apart of that after retiring very poorly a few times, during probably the best mania in decades, I feel why it would be satisfying to be something that important for all of wrestling. We'll be hearing about this for the next 10 years. It has been truly amazing to witness this era of wrestling.

[@WestfulThinking]

My childhood was alot better because of you taker. Much love from johnstown pennsylvania

[@GreaserMan]

I kept hearing that it was gonna be Austin before WM and I just could not care less. When I heard that bell toll instead of a glass shatter, I lost my damn mind! WHAT AN UPGRADE.

Paul H was told off for making it public knowledge that Austin was 1st pick. Austin wanted way way more money than WWE was willing to pay for that spot.

[@cDayz]

To me, Taker was a better fit.

[@tomkee4479]

@@cDayz I agree now, I thought because of their history and who they are that Steve Austin would have been great but since Rock has been calling himself the final boss and running with that name ifs was fitting that taker did it cause at least the locker room everyone knows taker is the real final boss when it comes to the boys and backstsge so it fit perfect.

[@mile215]

My wife, I've been homeless since January. Driving from state to state. I remember that wrestlemania was on so I turned it on while driving when The Undertaker showed. up. I literally started screaming while driving like a 10-year-old kid again. That made my shit night so much better.

[@presto6944]

Loved taker being there, it was unreal seeing it live. It made more sense for stone cold to be there just because both Rollins and Roman had title runs of 1,316 and 316 days, Wrestlemania 15 was the last time the event was in Philly and was headlined by him and the rock, And just that rivalry was most iconic in that era. Not criticizing because life happens, and was still the greatest wrestling event I’ve witnessed in my life. So thank you taker for your contribution and you deserved that closure!

I've always felt that Undertaker wasn't completely satisfied with his final match at WrestleMania 36, like he wanted to keep going to find that perfect ending but also was aware that he needed to end his career on something that came close enough. So, to hear him say that he has found clarity in doing this cameo appearance at the end of WrestleMania 40 is great to hear. Now that he has clarity to go along with that final match, it truly does feel like the end of the road.
