In the latest episode of his podcast, “Six Feet Under,” legendary WWE wrestler The Undertaker reviewed his feelings toward his professional wrestling career following his bout against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. The Undertaker expressed that when he went into the match, he was still under the impression that he would be capable of continuing his career. But, having experienced the intensity of the Boneyard contest, he immediately knew his wrestling days were over. He commented:
“Going into it, I wasn’t envisioning what was to come. All I had in my thoughts was ‘I might have some more left in me for future adversaries,’ but I hadn’t considered anyone specific. All my focus was riveted on AJ and the physical conditioning that I thought I had to achieve for the match I aspired to conduct with him, which was anticipated to happen in a conventional ring. That was where my full attention was.”
