8 – The Undertaker v Roman Reigns (WrestleMania 33)
If this match had happened a few years before, the world would have erupted. Unfortunately, The Undertaker had moved past his better years and looked gassed within the first few minutes. He wasn’t in ring shape, and that was needed to anchor the match against the younger Reigns. Roman Reigns was not ready to carry things on his own and looked a little lost.
There were just too many botches to make this a great main event. Neither man shared the chemistry one would expect, and the match quality suffered greatly. The impact of this match would have gone further if Roman Reigns were the man to end The Streak.
7 – The Undertaker v A.J. Styles (WrestleMania 36; Night One)
The pandemic forced WWE to pivot away from a traditional wrestling match to this cinematic contest. From a visual standpoint, this match was stunning. It captured the gothic nature of The Undertaker’s character with strategically placed lights and sound effects.
There was just enough physicality to make the match fun to watch, with Styles and The Undertaker using the set pieces well. We can all remember the famous meme that was created at the end of this match.
As fun and creative as this match was, it was not a fitting end to The Undertaker’s career. The lack of an audience reaction keeps it further down on the list than many would like. It’s not the fault of WWE, but just the reality of the situation.
