But the Phenom wrestled for a further three years before retiring in June.

And he revealed part of the decision to carry on fighting could have had something to do with how his match with Reigns went down.

The icon, speaking to ESPN to promote his new documentary called ‘Undertaker: The Last Ride', said: “That was one of those times it was tough having the cameras there.

“That was the first time that I watched that match back.

“I was so disgusted with it that I didn’t want to watch it back.”

Undertaker added: “As I got older... I know when I’m out there and I’m moving slow.

“I know when my limp is more prominent than it may be. Or when I’m behind in a spot. I just know now.

“[Watching that match], I’m battling with it. I was so disappointed for Roman.”
