The Undertaker approached Vince after the match and had a heartfelt discussion over his future. Vince however, told the deadman that he looked good in the match and had excellent timing. The Undertaker responded that he wasn’t feeling it and McMahon assured him that he would follow his lead.
Undertaker: I’m done. I’m not there anymore.
McMahon: Alright. We can talk about it.
Undertaker: It’s not there.
McMahon: Didn’t seem that way tonight. The timing was there. Everything was right there.
Undertaker: I know. My body’s not, though.
McMahon: Most important is this. [Unclear what McMahon is pointing to]
Undertaker: Well, it’s my body and my long term.
McMahon: Okay
Undertaker: I’m gonna go, get out and think, but I just didn’t want to spring that on you, I mean I’m springing it on you now, but I need to evaluate.
McMahon: Mark, I will follow your lead.
The Undertaker didn’t not retire after this match and in fact went on to have one of his most entertaining matches this Wrestlemania with AJ Styles. However, this gives an interesting insight into how hard it has been for both the WWE and the Undertaker himself to let go.
How often have the fans been told that the Undertaker is done. Perhaps even the WWE and the The Undertaker themselves believe it too. However, whenever he is required both the WWE and the Undertaker find themselves back together again.
