How will The Undertaker's farewell play out?

The Undertaker is one of the biggest names in the wrestling industry. Even though the WWE Superstar has been inactive for extended periods over the past five years, he is still regarded as one of the top Superstars in the world.

The Undertaker is known for many things including his size, character, gimmicks, serious attitude, and his WrestleMania streak. These factors set him apart from the rest of the locker room and helped him slowly reach the top of WWE.

While many top stars joined and left WWE only to rejoin the company later, The Undertaker has stayed loyal to WWE for almost thirty years. After performing in over 800 matches including over 170 pay-per-view events, The Deadman competed in his final wrestling match at WrestleMania 36 against AJ Styles.

Earlier this year, The Undertaker hinted at retirement. It seems like he has finally decided to hang up his boots as WWE has announced the Final Farewell of The Undertaker will take place at Survivor Series later this month.

The Deadman has been one of the biggest names in WWE’s history and there are a few ways WWE could go ahead and book the final goodbye for the legend.

In this article, we will look at the five ways WWE could book The Undertaker’s Final Farewell for Survivor Series.

#5 WWE brings out The Undertaker’s closest friends during his Final Farewell

The Undertaker has been one of the biggest names in WWE for well over two decades. He has had some top matches and rivalries with men who not only respect him but find themselves fortunate enough to call him their friend.

After competing in the WWE for almost thirty years, The Undertaker will finally be walking away from the company later this month. However, he’ll be walking out after forming several friendships that will likely remain with him for a lifetime.

The Undertaker has created bonds with current and former WWE Superstars such as Kane, Ric Flair, Shane McMahon, Brock Lesnar, among others.

WWE could bring out some of these top names during Survivor Series and have them cut promos about what The Deadman means to them and the entire industry. The entire affair will likely be more emotional, and ensure that the Superstars who’ve traveled and performed with The Undertaker are present at the show will help the company make it an even bigger deal.

We could then watch The Undertaker acknowledge the contribution of each one of his opponents during his career and finally walk away with his friends by his side.

#4 The Undertaker addresses the WWE Universe in front of the locker room during his Final Farewell

Booking a segment to bid farewell to one of the greatest entertainers of all time will be extremely tough for WWE. They will have to dig deep to ensure they get everything right. While it would have been better to have a live crowd in attendance to say goodbye to The Undertaker, WWE can make use of the resources they have at hand to do the best they possibly can.

A very simple yet effective way of booking this huge segment is to have The Undertaker cut a long and heartfelt promo as Mark Calaway. While we’ve all seen The Undertaker in character for almost thirty years, it’d be great to have him come out at himself to bid farewell to the company and the people who made him into a megastar.

Roman Reigns hit the right notes when he cut a promo as Joe Anoa'i in 2018 before he went on to fight a personal battle. WWE could use something similar to touch the hearts of the WWE Universe.

Not only will this allow The Undertaker to add a personal touch to his final address to the WWE Universe, but it will also help him connect with the fans as himself before he walks away.

We could watch the entire WWE locker room give The Undertaker one final standing ovation before he exits the ring at Survivor Series.

#3 A top WWE Superstar takes down The Undertaker during his Final Farewell

Anything is possible in WWE, and we cannot rule out surprise attacks during The Undertaker’s Final Farewell. WWE will likely give The Phenom some time to address the WWE Universe and get a standing ovation from the Superstars in attendance. We will possibly also see a few video packages and thank you messages air during Survivor Series.

However, a top heel in the company could turn up to take down The Undertaker one final time to make a huge statement. Fans would expect "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt to show up and possibly take down The Undertaker with The Mandible Claw to get over at Survivor Series. However, he isn't the only Superstar who could show up during the segment.

We could see a top heel like Roman Reigns come out to Spear The Undertaker one final time before walking away to generate more heat. Alternatively, he could instruct Jey Uso to deliver one final beatdown to The Phenom before heading to the back.

On the other hand, The Legend Killer could also take out his frustration on the biggest legend in WWE and take him out with the Punt Kick. Whoever shows up to attack The Undertaker will get a lot of heat that could help them build their character and career.

#2 The Chairman of WWE offers The Undertaker a key position during his Final Farewell

Over the years, WWE has signed several top WWE Superstars to legends contracts after they retired from the ring. Superstars such as Sting and Mark Henry are currently under such a contract. There were reports earlier this year that The Undertaker had also signed a 15-year contract with the company.

Henry is now working as a backstage producer and mentor in WWE, and we could see The Undertaker take on a similar or an even bigger role after his retirement. The Undertaker’s Final Farewell is going to be a big deal in the world of wrestling. Vince McMahon could think it's the perfect time to offer The Undertaker a big role in the company.

The Undertaker has helped shape the face of the company over the past three decades. WWE could repay him by giving him a top position in the company so he can continue to make an impact backstage.

This will help The Undertaker fans keep their interest in WWE’s products and could also prevent The Phenom from appearing for any other promotion after his retirement, such as AEW.

#1 The Undertaker passes on the torch during his Final Farewell

We can’t rule out a physical encounter between The Undertaker and a younger WWE Superstar at Survivor Series. The Phenom could pass the torch without getting physical at all.

During his Final Farewell, The Undertaker could cut a lengthy promo to thank those who’ve helped him get over for all these years and name a few Superstars who could possibly take his spot in the years to come.

In 2009, Vince McMahon had singled out Drew McIntyre and dubbed him The Chosen One. However, McIntyre did not make it big during that time and WWE eventually released him in 2014. He returned a few years later to win the NXT title and later the WWE Championship.

Similarly, The Phenom could call out someone like Aleister Black, Keith Lee, Sasha Banks, or Braun Strowman and put them over before walking out of the WWE ring for the final time.

This could help some newer Superstar benefit from The Undertaker's reputation and possibly get a massive push sooner or later that could take them to the top like McIntyre.
