After Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre tore the house down at the main event, which saw the Universal Champion come out on top, WWE shifted gears and focused on The Undertaker, who bid farewell to the sport with a heartfelt speech. Before The Phenom made his appearance, a parade of WWE legends and Hall of Famers entered to celebrate him. Shane McMahon was the first to enter, followed by The Big Show, JBL, Jeff Hardy, Mick Foley, The Godfather, The Godwins, Savio Vega, Rikishi, Kevin Nash, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Triple H, and Kane.

The tribute video showed some memorable moments from The Undertaker’s career, even including interviews from other WWE legends like Batista, John Cena, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Once the video was over, WWE CEO Vince McMahon made his way to the ring to pay tribute to his most loyal employee and long-time friend.
