The Undertaker is one of the best grapplers ever to grace the ring, who has been the symbol of the industry as well. The Phenom has been a star-studded name in the wrestling world for over thirty years (33 years) and has been one of the top grapplers in history. The Deadman is a fan-favorite for his horrifying character, mind games, Deadman gimmick, undefeated streak, supernatural powers, and engaging storylines. The Demon of Death Valley is one of the toughest grapplers to be defeated particularly in WrestleMania. Taker's WrestleMania streak is quite possibly one of the most unbelievable and notable achievements in the sports and entertainment world.

Every year, fans anxiously expected The Undertaker's appearance at the WrestleMania match to witness him beat impressive and unbelievable opponents with his unrivaled predominance. Probably the greatest names in proficient wrestling history tried to make a pass at his flawless record at WrestleMania and flopped in stunning contests. The Last Outlaw kept an undefeated streak for a long time, from WrestleMania VII in 1991 to WrestleMania XXX in 2014. He holds a phenomenal record of 21 back-to-back victories at the "Grandest Stage of Them All". However, his streak was first broken in 2014 against Brock Lesnar and again in 2017 against Roman Reigns. The Undertaker had a sum of 27 matches at WrestleMania with 25 wins and 2 losses.

The Undertaker’s Defeat at Wrestlemania 33

The Undertaker lost to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33 main event in 2017 in a No Holds Barred match. The match was also called Passing the Torch match by the fans. The Undertaker tossed Reigns to the steel steps and played out a Chokeslam to him on the announcement table. Reigns then gave a Spear to The Undertaker through another announcement table. The Undertaker played out a Last Ride on Reigns for a close fall. Reigns performed back-to-back Superman Punches on the Undertaker and Taker went after Reigns with a chair in hand and played out a Chokeslam on the chair for a near fall.

The Undertaker played out a Tombstone Piledriver on Reigns for a near-fall again. Reigns countered it into a Superman Punch and then a near fall as The Undertaker tried to give a second Tombstone Piledriver. Reigns gave another Spear, however, The Undertaker performed his trademark submission Hell's Gate which was broken by Reigns to escape. Reigns went after The Undertaker with a similar chair and performed consecutive Spears and near falls. The Undertaker tried to attempt his signature sit-up but failed to do so. Reigns pinned The Undertaker to dominate the game after a ferocious Spear and become the second individual to beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania after Brock Lesnar who finished The Streak three years ago in 2014 at WrestleMania XXX.

Aftermath of The Undertaker’s Defeat at WrestleMania 33

The Undertaker emblematically left his wrestling gears in the center of the ring after the match. The Undertaker broke character and shared a moment with his significant other Michelle McCool, who was crying in the first row. The Undertaker went to the entrance ramp and raised his hand to acknowledge the crowd. His signature gong sounded multiple times and the show came to an end. There had been a lot of theory that the Undertaker had contended in his last match.

While it was not confirmed officially, the WWE online store delivered a dedicatory photograph plaque of the Undertaker's stuff that he left in the ring, with the depiction expressing that he had finished his career. However, the Undertaker appeared for a match at WrestleMania the next year and beat John Cena at WrestleMania 34.
