World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) legend 'The Undertaker' has announced his retirement. Fans were shocked to see their favourite star bidding adieu to WWE.
The iconic wrestler announced his retirement in the last episode of the WWE docuseries titled - "The Last Ride". Meanwhile, in a series of tweets posted by the WWE's official handle, The Undertaker said that "I'm gonna leave my way. You can never appreciate how long the road was until you've driven to the end. #TheLastRide."
"I did things my way, and I'm gonna leave my way." the WWE quoted The Undertaker in a tweet.
As per a NDTV sports report, The Undertaker's real name is Mark Calaway, who entertained his fans for three long decades. He last faced AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in a "Boneyard Match".
The WWE shared a few throwback pictures from behind the scenes saying: "The @undertaker has some "thank you's of his own to give. #ThankYouTaker #TheLastRide". If there was ever a perfect ending to a career, that right there is it. I felt much better than I thought I was going to. I felt like my stride was long, felt pretty natural. I have this other life that I need to go experience and enjoy the fruits of my labor," the WWE Network quoted The Undertaker as saying.
Meanwhile, WWE TV host Mike Rome took to his social media handle saying, "Thank you for making our childhood so cool. Thank you for the journeys you took us on. Thank you for growing with us, and evolving. Thank you for being larger than life. Thank you for everything you have given to wrestling. You will always be #ThePhenom. #ThankYouTaker."
Even, Undertaker's last rival in the ring - AJ Styles penned an emotional note for the Undertaker, saying, "Still floored by the experience and reaction to the #BoneyardMatch at #WrestleMania. If it was the last time @undertaker laced up his boots, I'm honored it was against me. #TheLastRide."
