For over three decades, The Undertaker loomed as WWE’s most iconic and intimidating figure.
From his chilling debut at Survivor Series 1990 to his unforgettable WrestleMania streak, The Phenom became the gold standard for storytelling in professional wrestling. In 2025, whispers of one final match have reignited the WWE Universe’s fascination with the Deadman—and the question remains: is the legend really done?
Following his official retirement at Survivor Series 2020 and Hall of Fame induction in 2022, most assumed The Undertaker had taken his final walk. But speculation has surged after WWE legend JBL stated Undertaker is “in terrific shape” and could face Intercontinental Champion Gunther for one last showdown. Fans are buzzing: could The Deadman rise one more time for the biggest farewell match in WWE history?
Mark Calaway blurred the line between reality and mythology, evolving from a silent enforcer with supernatural overtones into a gritty brawler—the “American Badass.” He adapted through eras, rivalries, and generations, facing legends like Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Mick Foley, and Brock Lesnar. His 21–0 WrestleMania streak remains untouchable.
What truly set him apart wasn’t just victories or iconic entrances—it was consistency, loyalty, and the ability to elevate everyone across the ring from him.
Post-retirement, Undertaker has stayed connected through select appearances and his 1DeadMan Show, giving fans a glimpse behind the mystique. Yet the lingering possibility of one final match persists—not just from fan demand, but because he’s Undertaker. He doesn’t leave quietly.
Whether or not he wrestles again, his influence looms large. Every eerie gong, every promo referencing his name, every rising star inspired by his career—The Deadman is always present. If 2025 brings a symbolic final match, it would be a fitting close to a career defined by unforgettable moments. And if not? His legacy is already eternal.
Because in WWE… legends never die—and The Deadman never truly rests in peace.
