For the final time in his career, The Undertaker walked down to the WWE ring at Survivor Series. The WWE legend remained in his character on his Final Farewell and delivered a small message for the WWE Universe. One of the most iconic superstars of all time, The Undertaker seemed to be emotional during the segment and received a big cheer from the audience.
“For thirty long years, I have made that slow walk to this ring. I’ve laid people to rest, time and time again. And now, my time has come,” he said. The Undertaker also paid tribute to Paul Bearer, his iconic manager in the company.
It was exactly 30 years ago that The Undertaker had made his WWE debut at Survivor Series 1990. And to make it special, WWE had announced that it would be celebrating the occasion by organising ‘The Undertaker Final Farewell.’

Vince McMahon, the owner of WWE, introduced The Undertaker and welcomed him to the ring. All in all, it was an emotional night for the WWE Universe which culminated with The Undertaker being honoured.
