WWE has also come out with an accompanying press statement:-

"As the WWE Universe celebrates the incredible legacy of The Undertaker in the wake of the groundbreaking WWE Network docuseries The Last Ride, Madison Square Garden honored The Deadman with a message on its iconic marquee.

The World’s Most Famous Arena has been home to many iconic Undertaker moments, including the bone-chilling return of his Deadman persona to battle Kane at WrestleMania XX. Although there’s much that can be said about The Deadman’s near-30-year WWE career, the three words illuminating the front of MSG say it all:

Thank you, Taker."

The Last Ride's final episode saw Undertaker claim that he was finally comfortable in calling time on his legendary pro-wrestling career following his Boneyard Match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. He conceded, however, that he may still appear if Vince McMahon needs him for something, meaning we probably haven't seen the last of him on our screens.
