It speaks to the man's character that The Undertaker personally sought out Roman Reigns after the high of squashing John Cena and apologised for 'Mania 33. "I feel so bad about last year", he said, and added, "I want you to know that it bothers me".

A visibly uncomfortable Reigns didn't know where to look.

There's a nice moment in the doc that sees both guys sharing a laugh and a smile about things. Roman is seen congratulating 'Taker on his performance against Cena, but the legend turns things back to their match by saying everyone knew he didn't have it. He really regrets not being able to give Reigns that classic 'Taker match.

This is powerful stuff. It cannot have been easy for Reigns to let 'Taker kill his own buzz by reminiscing about past failures, and he was quick to put the locker room leader's mind at rest. You can expect to see this scene over and over again for years to come.
