5 WWE Superstars and their major career mistakes

#2 The Undertaker’s WWE WrestleMania 33 regret

One of the most disappointing matches of The Undertaker’s WWE career came at WrestleMania 33 when he lost against Roman Reigns in the main event.

The man behind the character, Mark Calaway, admitted in his Last Ride docuseries on the WWE Network that he should not have faced Reigns because he knew several months in advance that his body was not going to be 100 percent for the match.

However, as he had already agreed to participate at that year’s WWE WrestleMania, the veteran WWE Superstar felt that he could not go back on his word.

“In my mind, I had a responsibility. If my name is on the page, then you gotta go. I knew in January that I was physically not going to be at my best but it was too late at that point. Like, I have already committed, it’s already been planned and this is what is going to happen. And I was scrambling, trying to figure out how I am going to make this work. And, I was thoroughly disappointed.”

Calaway said he did not want to make any excuses for his match against Reigns, but he admitted that being “banged up and beat up” contributed towards the way he performed that night.
