9 Reasons Roman Reigns Defeating The Undertaker Was The Right Call At WrestleMania 33
8. The Undertaker Was Always Going To Lose His Last Match
If there's one thing Vince McMahon knows how to do, it's book career endings.
When it becomes a possibility, much less a certainty, that a bonafide legend may be coming towards the end of their in-ring days, Vince sees to it that they do the honors on the way out. Whether it was in 1990 with Andre, 1992 with Piper, 1993 with Hulk Hogan, 1997 with Bret, 1998 with Shawn, 2000 with Foley, 2003 with Austin, 2008 with Flair, 2010 with Shawn (again), or 2013 with The Rock, the greatest WWE superstars of all time always went out on their back. As unique as his career might have been, when it came to this tradition, The Undertaker was not going to be any different.
By all accounts, The Undertaker wouldn't have wanted it any differently anyway. In an effort to give back to Vince McMahon, WWE, and the business in general, as well as to further establish today's talents as the best in the world, The Undertaker was always going to lose his last match. Why not have it come against the most protected and controversial star on the roster?
