There were always going to be boos when Roman Reigns smashed The Undertaker with several Spears and pinned him cleanly at WrestleMania 33; WWE will find it impossible to turn Roman's babyface fortunes around now, because he demolished such a beloved, iconic figure on the biggest show of the year.

The real story actually followed the match and came when Reigns had strolled up the lengthy ramp and away from the scene of the crime.

Firstly putting back on his signature hat and coat, one of WWE's most infamous sons then removed each item of clothing and left it all laying in a neat bundle in the centre of the ring; this symbolic act suggests that 'Taker is stepping away from in-ring action and finally hanging up his boots.

Social media has been awash ever since with those thanking 'The Phenom' for his unmatched career, but there are some who appear to think that the whole thing is nothing more than a tease and that Undertaker should keep making annual appearances at WrestleMania.

At the same time, some recognise that Reigns winning was a passing of the torch moment, whereas others believe it was a mistake to have Roman win should this be the end of Undertaker's active wrestling career.
