Here are the five biggest news stories from "Undertaker: The Last Ride" - Chapter Three.


#5: The Undertaker's WrestleMania 34 match with John Cena left him a little empty from a personal standpoint

From a professional view, The Undertaker's WrestleMania 34 bout succeeded in bringing back the legend of that iconic character.

It restored the myth of The Undertaker for WWE fans, and that was quite necessary to establish after a relatively disappointing match with Roman Reigns the year before.

You could see that Mark Calaway looked more athletic in 2018, and as seen previously, he didn't shy away from the opinion that he could have put on a classic slugfest with John Cena if the match was allotted more than 20 minutes.

So even though The Undertaker was "back", Mark Calaway still wanted to have a proper farewell in WWE.

In a lighthearted moment, The Undertaker and Michelle McCool's daughter couldn't believe that her father was able to defeat John Cena in the first place.

But professional duty aside, Mark embarked on a journey to put on a series of decent matches, and his renewed search for one final match began against Rusev at the Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

#4: Triple H received positive relationship advice from The Undertaker when he first got together with Stephanie McMahon

One of the greatest achievements of this docuseries includes an extended look towards the professional relationship between The Undertaker and Triple H.

From Chapter 1 onwards, we saw how The Game was there for Mark Calaway whenever he needed an extra boost of confidence.

The latest episode highlighted that The Undertaker told Triple H to go forward with his relationship with Stephanie McMahon, especially at a time when it wasn't received well backstage.

That wasn't the only example of Mark's locker-room leadership though. In another instance, Triple H revealed that The Phenom broke the ice with him a long time ago, when several Superstars were celebrating outside, and in front of all people, Undertaker motioned HHH to come over:

Triple H: "One night we were all out, everybody was out, and he (Undertaker) kind of motioned for me to come over and poured out two shots of Jack, kind of sat there looking at me for a little bit, and we stayed there talking and finally he said 'you're alright with me'."

#3: The Undertaker mentioned how special it was for him to return to Madison Square Garden in 2018

After WrestleMania 34, The Undertaker wrestled in a bunch of matches with Superstars from the regular roster. Undertaker faced Rusev at the Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view and admitted that even though he didn't feel as good as he did at WrestleMania 34, the match was still good.

3 months later, The Deadman teamed up with Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman to take on Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens, and Elias at Madison Square Garden. This was The Undertaker's first match in the venue since 2010, and he felt obligated to put on a great contest for the fans who have been coming into that legendary arena for years.

The younger talent helped in carrying the match too, and after it was all said and done, Mark remained content if this was the last time he would work at MSG.

The Deadman soaked in the cheers and took time to make eye contact with the live crowd, and even though it was fun, The Undertaker is still searching for that final conclusion to his legendary career.

#2: The Undertaker wants the same clarity as Shawn Michaels when HBK retired at WrestleMania 26

The Undertaker made it clear that his consecutive WrestleMania matches with Shawn Michaels and Triple H (WrestleManias 25-28) are the ones he holds very close to his heart.

The Deadman's WrestleMania 25 bout with Shawn Michaels is often considered as the greatest WrestleMania match of all time, and they followed it up with an epic rematch next year, where Shawn Michaels retired at the hands of The Undertaker.

This engrossing storyline originally concluded when Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker embraced each other to signal the "End of an Era" at WrestleMania 28.

Now that Mark Calaway has embarked on a personal search for that one final match, he is amazed by Shawn Michaels' clarity when the latter retired at the aforementioned event. The Undertaker wishes to have that definite clarity as well as the ability to stay retired for the remainder of his life.

Unlike his relationship with Triple H, Shawn and Undertaker didn't have the same kind of friendship back in the 90s. Their mutual respect grew stronger only when Shawn came back later and cleaned up his act.

#1: DX vs. The Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel 2018 was considered a trainwreck by The Undertaker

We knew this moment was coming all along. In 2018, The Undertaker was involved in a rehash of the perfect ending to his storyline with Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

Kane was also involved in what was considered to be a trainwreck of a match by The Undertaker himself. Triple H and Shawn Michaels were also disappointed by the outcome, but they took it in a relatively light-hearted way.

Triple H got injured halfway through the match, Kane lost his mask in a scuffle with HBK, The Undertaker wasn't mentally present during the bout because he and Michelle had personal problems with some members of the family. Also, they forgot to take into account that Shawn Michaels, one of the greatest in-ring workers of all time, hadn't wrestled in years.

This also led to Michelle bringing up the vicious cycle that her husband is trapped in.

In the search for one final match, Mark Calaway might be forced to retire in the future. He went a little easy on the Crown Jewel match, perhaps because he holds other members of that bout in high regard.

But what will be his reaction to a disastrous match against Goldberg in the next episode of "Undertaker: The Last Ride"?
