The Undertaker did an interview with Metro.co.uk to promote his new show ‘1 deadMAN’ in the UK this week.
The Undertaker had his retirement match when working the Boneyard Match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in 2020.
Taker noted the Boneyard match was when he knew his in-ring career was over.
“In my heart, I wasn’t ready to do it but in my mind I knew I had to. It’s been a difficult transition because if I physically could, I would still be going. But I can’t put on a match the way people expect to see The Undertaker wrestle. There’s no sense in tarnishing the legacy, or cashing in on the equity that I built up. My back is completely locked up, I’ve got pain shooting down my legs. That’s when I knew I was done. It was physical, we did some really big stunts, but I shouldn’t have felt the way that I did. It was just that moment of clarity.”
