The Undertaker is arguably the greatest WWE Superstar of all time, and his legacy will undoubtedly live on forever throughout time in sports entertainment. There really isn't a wrestler you can find who has been more loyal to Vince McMahon and the WWE than The Undertaker, and this speaks volumes in regards to 'Taker's respect for the business and the WWE specifically.
As many fans will attest to, there will never be another Undertaker in professional wrestling, and his gimmick was one which could have flopped hard had the WWE given the role to the wrong Superstar.
While most WWE wrestlers (even today) try to stay in character away from the cameras as much as possible, few have done so as well as "The Deadman". With a career in the business spanning three decades, you would think "keeping kayfabe" or staying in character would have been entirely impossible - quite the opposite in The Undertaker's case.
There are not many photos around which showcase The Undertaker out of of his on-screen persona, but we have dug deep to find 5 awesome pictures of 'Taker breaking kayfabe - let's get started with this list shall we!

#5 The Undertaker Hanging Out With DX Backstage
Considering The Undertaker has been around the WWE for so many decades, it's not too hard to understand why he would have connections with some of the company's "Attitude Era" Superstars - in this case, Billy Gunn and X-Pac (Sean Waltman) of D-Generation X.
This rare backstage photo showcases The Undertaker alongside the two DX stablemates seemingly having a great time, and the DX shirt Undertaker was rocking alludes to the fact that he's a big fan of the stable. Without question, The Undertaker has earned the respect of the entire locker room, and he continues to be a leader backstage in WWE, whenever he's around.
A classic image that features three legendary individuals that had a massive impact on the business.
#4 The Undertaker Partying With Shane McMahon
The Undertaker and Shane McMahon aka Shane-O-Mac may have been bitter WrestleMania 32 rivals, but that certainly doesn't mean they aren't friends away from the bright lights of WWE. This rather surprising (and equally rare) kayfabe breaking photo of The Undertaker shows "The Deadman" enjoying a night out at a bar with the former SmackDown Live General Manager, Shane McMahon.
Although some fans were not very excited for the Shane McMahon versus Undertaker bout leading up to WrestleMania 32, without question, their match exceeded all expectations - including Vince McMahon's. While it may be a tad bold to declare their 'Mania 32 match-up a "classic", it was nonetheless quite awesome...
#3 The Undertaker And Sting - Two Wrestling Icons
One match many fans hope to eventually see one day on "The Grandest Stage Of Them All" would undoubtedly be The Undertaker taking on one of World Championship Wrestling's biggest stars, Sting.
During the Monday Night Wars between WCW and WWE, The Undertaker and Sting were two of their respective company's top stars, and they both had mysteriously entrancing gimmicks - Sting being WCW's leather jacket and bat wielding menace, and The Undertaker being WWE's formidable "Deadman".
The storyline literally writes for itself, considering both Sting and The Undertaker were loyal employees to their company - it would be WWE versus WCW all over again. This particular kayfabe breaking (and candid) photo of The Undertaker showcases The Phenom exchanging words with his dream rival, Sting.
#2 The Undertaker Spending Time With Goldberg
While we had mentioned that the dream Sting versus Undertaker rivalry would definitely be one many fans would pay good money to see, former WCW and WWE World Champion Goldberg is another worthy candidate to be one of The Undertaker's "last rides" so to speak at WrestleMania.
The Undertaker and Goldberg have shared each other's presence in the recent past, and looking back to the 2017 Royal Rumble, it was actually 'Taker who eliminated Goldberg from the match much to the surprise of fans.
However, though The Undertaker and Goldberg dislike each other on camera, that couldn't be any further from the truth in real-life. This kayfabe breaking picture showcases The Undertaker hanging out with both Goldberg and Shane Helms (also known as The Hurricane) at an MMA event back in 2008.
#1 The Undertaker Swimming With His Son
Finishing off this list of kayfabe breaking Undertaker photos, we have this rare photograph showing "The Deadman" spending some quality time with his relatively unknown son, Gunner Calaway. The Undertaker seems to like keeping his private life away from the cameras, and it wasn't until earlier this year that 'Taker would finally join Instagram.
While this photo isn't very new, it showcases the fact that The Undertaker is fully capable of having a great time away from the WWE and his demanding gimmick, and in this particular instance, he was having fun sailing and swimming with Gunner. At this stage of his career, The Undertaker is simply living life when life is not in full swing during WrestleMania season...
