#4 The Undertaker finally got the closure that he was looking for

Throughout the documentary, The Undertaker could be seen struggling to decide when to call it a day. He was all set to bid goodbye to the ring at WrestleMania 33 after his match against Roman Reigns, but he was not happy with his performance and couldn't let his career end in that manner.

The last chapter focused on The Undertaker's Boneyard match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. The match was highly praised by fans and critiques, with many even calling it The Undertaker's best match in years. The Undertaker was all but praises for AJ Styles and accepted that if there was ever a perfect ending to his career, it has to be the Boneyard match against AJ Styles!

"I believe I'm at a place now, post-Boneyard, which was a hellacious battle against one of the best in the business. Here you are, climbing on your motorcycle and taking off. There was a lot of thought and a lot of emotion, one of those being 'are you happy enough with that?' It was a powerful moment. You don't necessarily always get those. If there was ever a perfect ending to a career, that right there was it. If Vince was in a pinch, would I come back? I guess time would only tell there. In case of emergency, break glass, you pull out The Undertaker. I would consider it. At this point in my career, I have no desire to get back in the ring," (h/t Fightful)

After that Boneyard match, he left all his fans wanting more of that, and isn't that the way he wanted to retire? On the top of his game!
