It turns out the rumours were true all along, as Roman Reigns defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 which signalled the end of The Deadman’s career.Nobody really expected an official announcement of any kind from The Phenom, but his actions after the loss spoke volumes as he left his gloves, hat and jacket in the middle of the ring before leaving up the ramp.

CAREER ENDING WIN?

It was thought that The Undertaker would lose to The Big Dog as there has been worry over his health, and WrestleMania 34 was always going to be out of the question.

It was a sour end to the night, as emotions were running high and nobody wants to see The Undertaker in that state, but it’s something we’ll have to come to terms with fairly soon.

As expected, though, there’s a lot of hate aimed towards Reigns since he became only the second man to defeat The Deadman at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and we all know their feelings towards him and the way WWE have booked him.

While most of the focus has fallen on The Undertaker in the aftermath of the event, it’s been a little quiet on the Reigns front.

That was until he delivered a simple message to the WWE cameras after the show, while also speaking to Jonathan Coachman of ESPN.

In his first interview, he defiantly claimed: “I’m a man of my word, I told y’all what I was going to do, this is my yard now.”

Despite the confident remark, he went on to tell Coach that his historic victory was bittersweet, and almost feels like a loss.

He said: “To be honest with you, Coach, you know, it’s bittersweet.

“It almost feels like a loss, you know what I mean? Because, I’ve said this for the past three or four weeks, I’ve got nothing but respect for The Undertaker. If you’ve been a part of this business, and you know, everybody’s got respect for that man.

“But at the end of the day, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. As a young man, as a family man, as a provider, I’ve got to go out there and fight for mine, and that’s what I did tonight.”

Clearly, Reigns doesn’t book himself into these situations but he’ll feel the brunt of it for quite some time, or at least until it starts to sink in that there’s no turning back from the decision.
