The Undertaker has always been the highlight of the ‘Grandest Stage of Them All.’ His WrestleMania streak holds a special place in the WWE’s golden book. Starting with WrestleMania VII, The DeadMan had an undefeated streak of 21 wins in WrestleMania alone. While many superstars don’t even make 21 appearances, the Undertaker has 25 WrestleMania victories.
WrestleMania 34 was a memorable event for both The Deadman and the WWE Universe. The buildup to his match against John Cena created a lot of excitement in the crowd. The WWE Universe expected the match would be a perfect showcase of two wrestling legends going back and forth. But it turned out to be a three-minute squash match. The fans still wonder what led to John Cena vs. The Undertaker’s WrestleMania 34 match being cut so short.
The Deadman has revealed the reason for this in his documentary – ‘The Last Ride.’ Taker’s last WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns was a failure in his own eyes. While almost everyone took it as his last match, he didn’t want to end his WWE journey with such a match. He trained himself hard, returned in 2018, and accepted John Cena’s challenge at the event.
Despite him training himself for a massive match, the WWE management wasn’t down with this idea. Everyone took his health into consideration and thus planned for a short encounter between Cena and Taker. The Deadman hardly took any bumps and dominated the entire match. It was redemption for his poor performance against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33 last year.

The Deadman has a certain expectation from every match, and his pride didn’t let him stop his WWE run with a “disgusting” match. His loss against Roman Reigns might have been a successful one for Reigns’ career, but it left Taker with a big question mark on his legacy as a great in-ring performer. The Undertaker’s documentary has brought numerous stories of his life before the public, as he took everyone on a nostalgic ride through his WWE run.
