How did the WWE fans and Superstars react to this being the end of The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33?
The Undertaker’s WWE career came to an end at WrestleMania 33. He fought through a match with Roman Reigns in the main event, which lasted around 20 minutes. It showed off ‘Taker’s age (52) all too much, and brought to light how much he’s struggled with injuries.
After the match, the Dead Man had a long send-off. He stood in the ring and symbolically placed his ring gear in the center of the squared circle, all while the fans applauded and shed a few tears.
Of course, WWE fans and Superstars took to Twitter to react to the end of The Undertaker. They spoke about the surreal moment to see one of the best walk out, closing an era that may never be replicated.

I've seen people saying "End of an Era". That's especially true for me. The very first wrestling match I ever saw was an Undertaker one.

Other reactions poured in, all of which celebrated The Undertaker and what he’s done for the WWE. It’s something that should be remembered forever.
The fact that we won’t see the Phenom in the WWE anymore is unthinkable. We’ve pieced these two things together for years, just like peanut butter and jelly. So, to no longer see him appear, especially at WrestleMania, is going to be an adjustment that we never fully embrace.
One day, we’re going to see The Undertaker enter the WWE Hall of Fame. He’ll headline whichever class he goes in and his speech will be one that fans have their eyes and ears glued to. It will be a deserving moment for someone who’s beloved in the WWE Universe and one of the most respected performers to step foot in the ring.
There will be no more Undertaker in the WWE. You won’t see him live anymore, but his legacy remains on the WWE Network. It’s full of memories that will last a lifetime.
