The Undertaker, also known as 'The Deadman' and 'The Phenom' recently bid his final goodbye to WWE at Survivor Series 2020 in epic fashion. Survivor Series 2020, was celebrating the 30th anniversary of Undertaker in WWE. The legendary superstar made his debut at this very pay-per-view 30 years ago in 1990. So it was only fitting that he announced his retirement on that very stage.

In one of the most memorable goodbyes in WWE history, at the end of Survivor Series, during his speech, Taker said, "My time has come to let The Undertaker Rest In Peace." The fans who viewed the event on the titantron via their homes cheered him on with 'Thank You Taker' and Farewell Taker' chants.

Many of Undertaker's greatest friends and rivals throughout his illustrious WWE career had made appearances. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Ric Flair, Kane, Shane McMahon, JBL, Big Show, Jeff Hardy, Mick Foley, Rikishi, Kevin Nash, The Godfather, The Godwinns, Savio Vega, Booker T made their way to the Thunderdome to pay their respects. WWE chairman, Mr. McMahon, in his own style, finally paid homage to the Undertaker - one of the biggest superstars in WWE history.

Many WWE superstars took to Twitter to pay respect and homage to The Phenom. Vince McMahon wrote, "The measuring stick. The locker room leader. The Phenom.
