The conclusion of WrestleMania 40 left fans in awe, thanks in part to the legendary presence of The Undertaker.
The WWE Hall of Famer made a dramatic entrance during the main event clash between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, delivering a thunderous chokeslam to The Rock before swiftly exiting the scene.
Amidst the chaos, as The Final Boss executed a devastating Rock Bottom on John Cena, the unmistakable toll of The Deadman’s gong echoed throughout Lincoln Financial Field. With the arena plunged into darkness, The Undertaker’s enigmatic arrival and departure intensified the spectacle.

Although the cameras lost sight of him post-performance, astute attendees caught glimpses of his hurried retreat backstage.

Witnessing The Undertaker’s uncharacteristic haste following such a monumental return evokes both surrealism and amusement.
The Fallout After The Undertaker’s Vanishing Act
In the wake of The Deadman’s abrupt exit, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes found themselves grappling without his looming presence.
While The Tribal Chief initially appeared dominant, his focus on pummeling Seth Rollins with a steel chair proved costly.
This lapse allowed the American Nightmare to seize the opportunity, ultimately pinning Reigns to claim the coveted Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
The Undertaker’s cameo was undeniably one of the highlights of the Rhodes-Reigns showdown, amplifying the match’s intensity and significance.
His intervention set the stage for a euphoric climax, as Cody’s jubilant family and select peers from the locker room joined him in celebration, capping off WrestleMania 40 on a triumphant note.
