10 Times WWE Fans Were Outraged At WrestleMania
3. Roman Reigns Retires The Undertaker
In a match powerful for the pathos in its failure - if there was ever a time to botch so badly, it was in the swansong - Roman Reigns defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania 33. In a ceremonial gesture, the Undertaker removed his robe and Stetson hat. He had literally left it all in the ring, symbolising his retirement with poignant visual poetry.
It turns out he was just a bit warm, because he resumed his in-ring career at WrestleMania 34, after which he embarked on the legacy-killing Saudi Arabia phase of his career.
In literally any other pro wrestling company, this would have cemented Roman's heel turn. A vocally unpopular character who never moved the needle, he had retired a Legend that had transcended to a mythical status all of his own. Roman did not turn - how can you turn that which is already heel? - and instead manipulated the glum, raw sentiment of WrestleMania into molten outage on RAW the next night.
Reigns surveyed the crowd with a detached, smug expression, his smirk growing by the minute, as they responded with rising waves of pure venom. It was his yard now.
It was also still the Undertaker's, since he never actually retired.
