WWE Royal Rumble 2001 Roster: Where Are They Now?

Then: 'Taker, like The Rock before him, popped the house when he rode his bike down the aisle during the '01 Rumble. The reborn 'American Bad Ass' character still felt fresh in January 2001, so it feels kinda' odd that he was eliminated by Rikishi that night.

He lasted just 10 minutes.

Now: 20 years on, The Undertaker has finally called time on his unrivalled ring career.

Mark Calaway received multiple send-offs both in and out of character too. His 'Last Ride' documentary on the Network was special, and WWE gave him another 'Final Farewell' at Survivor Series 2020. Fingers crossed he gets a proper goodbye in front of fans someday.
